    iPod touch selling like hotcakes

    I tried ordering a touch from Amazon. Amazon has changed the estimate delivery twice so far. Supposedly it will take 2 weeks to get a touch, even with a pre-order. That demand for this 16GB mp3 player is higher than supply.

    HD 650 first 5 minutes

    Just got a pair from J and R . I like that its it has a molded box, I can picture using this at home. On the head its feels like a vice, I don't think I have ever had headphones this tight. But after a minute it became bearable. Sound wize the my best source I have at work is my 5G iPod. First...

    Hot inputs on Dared MP-5

    Recently got a Behringer DAC with XLR outs. I converted the XLR to RCA with some good quality cables but I noticed the singnal fromt the dac is pretty high. I have to scale down my PC volume by about half. Am I going to burn out my tube with this thing . Would changing the pre-amp tubes help?

    Apple iPod stock buds appreciation thread

    I know we are all sophisticated audiophiles but I've been using the stock buds with my iPod 5G and they are good. They had bit of soundstage and are generally warm and smooth. I have a pair of $200 ER-4P which are better but a bit bass shy but the buds are a lot less delicate and easier to lug...

    ER6i foamies on ER4P

    Don't know if anyone esle has tried this but I took some foamies from my know retired ER6i and put on the ER4P. It makes everything else a little less neutral by warmth and bass. I did notice some loss of the higher frequencies but I'll take that over standard because I find the sound now less...

    Er6i alternative for iPod 5G

    Hey headphiles, I currently have a year old pair of Er6i canalphones, they have been great up until now. I recently got a 5g iPod stepping away from my Sony Hi-MD player.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I finally recieved my fixup mini amp on saturday. This is my first amp. I don't really like it. The construction is suspect, just doesn't seem to fit together right. I also lost a channel and had to fiddle with the volume to get it back. All these issues are forgiveable if sound was that good...
