Well .... Seems the curse of this place really digs in well!! Here's my story (or warning to anyone whose new!): A few years back I stumbled upon this site. I'd always felt that I was someone who really enjoyed music and liked to hear it well - I wanted decent equipment to listen to...

I was just wondering if anyone else here has noticed this phenomenon? Most of my music is in FLAC format and is played back quite happily by whatever media player I decide to use on my Ubuntu machine (while I'm still on the lookout for a nice, easy to use, gapless player if anyone knows of one?)...

Anyone notice that the memberlist doesn't go anywhere at the moment? Just comes up with a 404 error of page not found. I was attempting to find Turbo's listing so that I could send him a PM as I'm on the lookout for a dock cable and I'm torn between ALO, Qables and, now, Turbos stuff.

Just a quick question guys. I borrowed an album off of a mate and couldn't play the CD on my computer (basically it froze and crashed the system thanks to the scratches on it) and so I decided that, to hear it, I'd rip the CD into WAV through EAC and then listen to it that way (worked too )...

My aunt has brought my uncle an Aigo MP3 player (never heard of them before) but is having problem putting music onto it. They use Windows 2000 on their home computer but it wants Media Player 10 (or higher) to be able to put music onto it. Is there a way of actually getting Media Player 10...

Hi guys. I'm looking to upgrade from my E2 (broken) and although I was looking at the UM2 I'm now leaning towards the ER-4 and (mainly) the S version as I'm looking towards a new amp in the near future too (maybe the Tomahawk) However looking around the cheapest I seem to be able to find...

My E2c have broken now. Well they aren't actually broke yet but the wires are splitting and it'll be broke soon enough. I emailed Shure about them and, because I've done the Kramer mod on them, they aren't covered under the Shure warrenty. I also emailed earphonesolutions about a possible trade...

I'm not sure if this would be the best place for this post so if any moderator wants to move it then feel free. I thought I'd have to start a thread and say about how great these things are!! I've been on here a while and, like most if not all, know that protecting our hearing is a very good...

I found this on my final evening perusal of websites, seems quite interesting though I'm not sure how accurate it is and whether the Zune release (as it seems to be going) is really a reliable base for Microsoft to launch from as he seems to suggest. Have a read guys and see what you all...

I was debating whether to put this in the Cables sub-forum but it's mainly about what length/type of plug to pick rather then what type of cable so I think it comes under portable as it's for this reason that I request your assistance. I'm looking for a LOD to get to go from my iPod to my...

Can someone please assist me - I've now had my iPod for about 4 hours and I still can't actually get the thing to sync with iTunes. I went and got myself a 80Gb iPod to replace the 30Gb X5L that was stolen last Friday and spent the last week making sure that all my FLAC files were being...

Well last Friday my X5L was stolen out of my jacket pocket at work and the insurance company are replacing it with an iPod video 30Gb but I've got a couple of questions. I've tried searching the net to get some ideas of the answers but I can't seem to find anything. I've heard that the newer...

So how about this for an absolutely dreadful start to a day at work? (well actually a night as I work night shifts) I work in my local supermarket and, thanks to our boss, we are allowed to wear our ear phones and listen to our MP3 players for most of the night as long as we keep an eye out...

Today I honestly think that I've found out that head-fi has altered my hearing. As normal, I'm sat here browsing up on the news and sports and other websites that I check (like head-fi) and, again as usual, I'm listening to some music via my Aria with either my DT880 or A900LTD (dependant on...

I'm not sure which forum this should go in so I figured I'd post in here and ask you all (if any moderator thinks this deserves to be in a different forum then please move it thanks) I enjoy watching movies and really like having them playing with decent sound coming out, this was part of the...

I've got an Aria amp (boy I adore this thing!) and I've got it setup with ASIO4All so that foobar can pipe my FLAC files to it as effectively as can. However, at the moment, I find that the songs seem to have an occasional pop or disruption. It only happens very randomly and very occasionally...

Wow... I've hit 500 posts!! When I first came here I thought how strange that people could communicate about head phones and other such stuff to do with it. At the time I had a pair of E2c for portable use and no headphone at all for home use - why when I've got speakers? Now... Well...

I just went to my home page where a load of news aggrigates and got this link from TrustedReviews website. Personally I've never read anything at the site before and know nothing about them but heck, it makes an interesting read and you never know - it could be true...

I've been looking around to see if something like this is available but I can't find anything that might even allude to it. What I'm really looking for is somekind of drop down list that can select between outputs that can be put onto the main foobar screen. Too often I switch between my Aria...

Triple.fi review Apparently the new triple.fi's are better then the E500 - well ... according to this reviewer they are. Just thought I'd post this up as I don't think anyone else has posted this yet and it might be of some interest to some who are thinking about them or just want to read...

I just thought I'd drop a quick note to say "hi" to everyone. It's been a fair while since I've been around this forum and just as long since I've actually been listening to music too (I know...can you imagine going 6 weeks or so without putting some decent tunes on!) Things in my life took a...

Calling all those people who use the X5 and a portable amp with their headphones. Which do you prefer: amping the headphone out or amping from a line-out cable? I'm mainly looking at those high-end custom made line-out cables. Do they have the same kind of bass roll-off that has been shown from...

So I brought myself a pair of MS1 and got myself a pair of HD414 pads. The past few weeks they have become my main portable headphones (when I'm at work) due to my KSC75 being broke and I've come to realise just how amazing (again) these cans are and just what a bargain they are for the...

Just listening to yet more music via foobar2000 v0.9 and there was one little thing that's just slightly annoying that I wondered if anyone can help with. I'm using Columns UI with the Album List plugin as well and whenever I select an album from the list the playlist is totally selected for...

Well... I thought I'd had eargasm(s) before but tonight something special has happened, I just turned on my Aria with my DT880s the same as I do almost every evening when everyone else is asleep and decided to listen to a bit of music before going to bed. This time however something has seemed...
