This may sound familiar to some, as I've posted a similar thread in the past....but it's been quite awhile, and things change so fast! What I have/ am used to: iPod video, 60gig hooked to a C&C Box. My music is mostly LAME encoded @ 196kb/sec, with some live music VBR. I have about 45 gigs at...

My new Yammies arrived today. I will give them some play time, and then make an attempt to compare them to the SR-80's of gordolindsay, and allow him to do the same. Maybe I can piggyback on his writing skills to give a reasonably detailed response. I have listened for only an hour or so, and...

I've ordered a pair, and gordolindsay has the SR-80, so we can do a little comparison when the Yammies get here next week. Thanks for the heads up on this can..... Joe

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to get to this meet in what's become all too typical West Michigan weather this winter. To Al: Thanks for the meeting place and hospitality. It worked out perfectly. To Chris: Thanks for the portable setup lessons, including being generous with your...

I will be bringing some home roasted coffee....hard to listen to, but delicious! (Coffeegeek-fi?) Joe

I use a Targus AMB03US and it performs well. It has rechargable AA or AAA's(can't remember without opening) and it recharges by using a mini usb cable hooked up to the computer. I have to hook it up about once a week with my normal amount of usage. Good luck with your search.

Gordolindsay and myself are in towners, so it would be a great meet for us to attend. I'll check with him to see what up. Unfortunately all i can offer to bring is the iPod, C&C Box and Superfi 3's and 5's, Koss 75's. The pod w/ the superfi 3's and C&C box are my bulldozing rig, so it will...

It's been awhile since I've posted, but this is something I would be interested to know if there is anything new happening......durability. My current setup: is a 5th Gen 60 gig Ipod docked out to a C&C Box. I use KSC-75's on a limited basis, Super-Fi 5 Pro's on a more frequent basis, and...

I don't know if it is absolutely appropriate, but think of driving two different cars, one having twice as much horsepower. The lower powered car can drive 55 MPH down the highway just fine, as can the more powerful car. But, when you really need to give it a kick to either pass or just to have...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but... I just received my pair from earphonesolutions.com I didn't price shop, I didn't use a coupon code (I think there was one available). I have bought from them before, and always had prompt, reliable service. They even called me the...

I was reading the instructions on a balsa wood glider airplane (the kind that come in a plastic bag and you assemble yourself) and it said this: "Do not fly when strong of wind" That is very good advice, folks! Joe

As a business person, would you share your policies and procedures with a customer, knowing full well they likely will be shared with the world via the internet? Me either....

Whats the difference between this guy publicly complaining....even saying that Grado is "purposefully" ignoring him, Grado is greedy, etc....and the "other thread going on in the amp forum? I don't get it. Grado has been around a long, long time...not just headphones....the impact they made...

How was the chili?.....*buuurrrpppp* (I know, burping isn't the problem, lol) Hope y'all had fun, Joe

I always listen to my portable gear while I am on equipment. Bulldozer, excavator, it makes no difference, I listen. After all, I would be wearing ear plugs anyway, so I may as well put in the UE Superfi 3's and let some funky music drive my creativity. I haven't taken the C&C box out on a...
