    What's a good dbPoweramp replacement for Macs?

    What's out there that's comparable to dbPoweramp's audio converter? I really like dbPoweramp but it's not made for Mac OS and I don't want to run Windows through Parallels.

    Got macbook--sound leaves much to be desired

    Hello all... I recently acquired a black Macbook for college and absolutely adore it for the most part. Superior software, great speed and a tiny portable package. HOWEVER, compared to my nano/tomahawk/e500 setup it sounds pretty horrible. ** I plug my e500s into the headphone jack. What...

    New iSkin case for 2nd gen Nano and iPods

    Most iPod and Nano owners already know about iSkin cases. They are the bomb. But there are always new owners asking for case recommendations. So here is mine: iSkin. You can order from them directly or from the Apple store online which usually gives free shipping although you have to wait a bit...

    Where to buy Comply canal tips in bulk?

    These babies are way too expensive to not be offered in larger quantities. I did some searching and found these: http://lloydhearingaid.com/accessori.../canaltips.cfm $30 for 12 pairs is definitely an improvement at the usual going rate of about $9.75 for 3 pairs. Anybody know if these...

    Do NOT join Amazon's CDNow cd club!

    Just wanted to give everybody a heads up that the music club Amazon is running with CDNow is a bust. I checked the seller feedback before joining and most of it was good except for some complaints about not receiving orders. Well guess who hasn't received theirs? <----- I left this feedback...

    AMAZING Shure customer service

    I don't know if anybody else has had bad luck with their e500s but I take the cake. For one...I was apparently over zealous in my cleaning of earwax from the nozzle that I plucked out one of the sound dampeners in there.I pushed it back in but was worried about if I broke that right earpiece. I...

    Cnet review of Nano says it sounds like old one

    To be fair, they say they both sound good so I guess that means they think it sounds good. Who has heard the new nano and compared it to the old one? I have not heard any nano or any ipod besides my 3rd gen. My nano should arrive tomorrow since I paid for overnight shipping. I'll compare it to...

    IMPORTANT PRICE COMPARISON ON NANO VS IPOD

    I just ordered an 8gb nano and wanted to mention that everybody should take note that for the same price you can order the 30gb iPod. I personally do not want the moving parts of the hard drive since I will be using it in the gym and already have an ipod but I'm sure others may prefer the video...

    Comparison of Apple Lossless and Apple 320 aac

    I know this debate will never end but I thought I'd throw my personal observations in...this is a comparison of iTunes aac at 320 bitrate versus the iTunes Lossless. I have an old 3rd gen 20gb iPod which I have stuffed to capacity with mostly 320 aac songs that I ripped from my cds with...

    There are a lot of small amps to choose from and I am starting to eye them for my iPod. I see a lot of Hornet and Portaphile users here. Is that what usually matches well with an iPod? Any other recommendations? If it's important, I will be using eithe e500s or the upcoming triple fi 10...

    Waitaminute...the new Ultimate Ears Triplefi 10s (XXX) are coming this month?

    Aw hell...just placed my order for the e500s and now I read that the new UE triple drivers are about to come out any day now? What's any day now? I gotta admit that the marriage soundwise between my now broken Superfi5 pros and my iPod has made me biased towards Ultimate Ears and if they are...

    Are Shure e500s overkill for an unamped iPod or Nano?

    So are there unamped iPod users out there that like the e500s? I want completele portability for the gym and am about to get the new nanos that are about to come out so I don't have to lug my ipod around. The thing is...for the gym, and for my regular iPod use as well, I really can't stand the...

    GUITAR CENTER WARRANTY RULES!!

    I purchased my Ultimate Ears Superfi 5s at Guitar Center over a year ago. Of course, I have had the popular cracked plastic problem. The first time it was within a week and the store just gave me a new pair. Couple of months later the replacement pair cracked. I figured I'd wait it out as much...

    Harman Kardon Soundsticks sound great!!!

    I just had to post this as a heads up for those who would like a high quality speaker system to use with their iPods. I was trying to save up to buy the Klipsch iFi but just didn't have enough funds. Then I came across these little guys for just $170 and bought them. All I can say is WOW!!! Give...

    How similar in sound are the UM2s and UE Superfi 5 pros?

    Has anybody here actually tried both these earphones? The descriptions make them sound so similar and I'm trying to decide between the two. Or if I should just amp. I'm trying to decide between the two for my 3g ipod. I import all my songs in 300 aac format. If I had the space I would do...
