Thanks Ulfonzo

Good point, but I would make sure that reference is in the boldest of print.

It may be a good idea to take shellbrook off the Compilation of portable amps sticky in the amps section. Doing so should keep noobies from falling for his trap.

Oh dear god please lock this thread.

I live my life with the knowledge that I will most likely be stranded on a desert island or homeless walking the streets. I buy my electronics based on those two things. So...... 1. 100+gig 2. No bigger then 4g Ipzodiac 3. Able to last 30+ hours on 3 AA bats 4. Able to charge AA bats in...

No I don't think my tests are very reliable and should not be used to spec the 500. Hopefully someone with better equipment and more knowledge can test a 500.

Audigy 2 zs No prob it was a learning experience for me. But feel free to clarify those numbers. But like I said, a non noob would have probably done a better job and got better results. I think I should run the test again with the eq all the way up as I think the 500's eq cuts the frequencies...

I have the av500 100gig and would be happy to test......just tell me how. I do really like the sound quality though....esp over my 4g pod.

WNEW what's that line from? I wear power ties, I tell power lies, I take power naps and run victory laps

or you'll end up looking like drivel's avatar

Oh and for my mod I used a strong piece of metal(small cotter pin) and bent the end with pliers. I then hooked the edge to the underside of said washer and yanked with pliers. This mod takes quite a bit of yankin to get it done.......sooooo use lots o force luke.

Dude......back..... away.... from.... the...... headphones. If I were you and you were me I would push the remainder of the staple in and try again with a paper clip. Once you get the washer out the decapitated staple will come too.

Yeah I use an amp in my setup. The bass is just not doing it for me. I wish they had bass as loud as the ex71....just more refined. I'm thinking of ditching IEM and trying to find some high quality clip on over the ear style. Any suggestions?

Now if only there was some way to increase the bass......

Stay far far away from the Sony ex-71........far away. Every time someone buys the ex-71 I drown a puppy.....so don't do it!! Damnit....not again.......come here Fido.

I just tried this mod with the paper clip and the difference is amazing. Thanks for letting us know about this. But I'm even more amazed by how southsea was able to figure out the plastic washer trick. Never in a million years would I have ever noticed that. bump

Just one for me.

Sooo after looking at the inside of the boostaroo, is it as crappy as everyone thought?

I might be wrong on this but the ipod line of flash players would have a line out on their dock ports. So if that's true then there ya go

The mini is most definitely a cool dap.

I have a few other players. I own an ipod 4th gen 40 gig, an archos av500 100gig, an archos gmini400 20gig, and a creative muvo tx flash player. I have owned an ipod shuffle, a rio karma, and an Iriver t10 1 gig. My old roomate had a 5th gen 60 gig ipod and a cowon x5l, both of which I had the...
