I am very happy with my new JB2 and although it adequately drives my HD600's, when I really want to hear better fidelity I connect my Meta (single 9V, 8620 op amp) and it really opens up the 600's My question is given that the JB2 does not have a line out, I am using the headphone output to...

What are your thoughts about the Nitrus being able to handle the motion while jogging? What would be a good way to carry the Nitrus while jogging if you dont have pockets. I am thinking of the small Sony neoprene belt. Are there any universal clips that might work?

Does the Nitrus have any preloaded music on it and can I listen to it without installing the drivers. Do the drivers come preloaded? I am asking because I just received one that I am giving as a Xmas gift and wanted to give a quick listen to it by just charging the battery and without...

Does the Nitrus come with any prerecorded music? Since its amp is not all that powerful, would the PX100's be a good choice of headphones?

I know that the screen cant be viewed through case but can someone describe the quality of the case that comes with the Xtra? Is it anything like the black case that comes with the 2.0?

I have been looking for a good souce at a reasonable price to buy another Zen 2.0 as a gift. It seems like the supply of 2.0's have dried up for a reasonable price. The last few I bought from J&R for $200 shipped. I was planning on getting another and transfering my existing Playcenter 3 library...

I am ready to order the Nitrus as a Christmas present for my teenage niece but had a few questions before getting. Maybe someone here might be able to help me get them answered. Austonia, perhaps you could be helpful here How user friendly is the software? How good is the good tech...

Is there a way to modify the 11.5 foot stock cord to a shorter one? Can one be bought that will fit the connector on the headphone?

I am looking for a good quality case to store my Zen 2.0, the AC adopter and USB cable. It does not need to serve as a portable carrying case but rather one to safetly and comfortably store the player and accessories. Maybe even something that could also fit a pair of portable headphones like...

Anybody have any experience with the various compatible car adopters for the Zen 2.0? What are the options here and how well do they work? Thanks

I have tried a number of headphones but have yet to own any of the Grado line. Since the entire line has the same impedance rating, why is that I hear that some models perform better unamped than others? Which Grado headphone is the most efficient and sound best unamped out of a portable with...

What Grado's would sound best unamped with a Nomad Zen? Having never auditioned any of the Grado line, I am giving some thought to give them a try. I have a fairly diverse headphone inventory which I am very happy with, but it does not include any Grado's. I have always been turned off...

Anybody using HD600's with their Nomad Zen/Jukebox? I am asking because when I occasionally use my HD600's with the Nomad Zen, they sound pretty darn good. The HD600's have more detail when amped but when driven by my Zen at close to full volume I am hearing decent fidelity. I am wondering...

I have been absolutly thrilled with my Zen 2.0 and in fact have bought 2 more to give as Christmas gifts with 50% of the drive filled with music I have created in Playceneter 3. What concerns me is what plans Creative might have for what they will charge for factory installed battery replacement...

After spending some time using the Sennheiser PX100, PX200, MX400, Portapro's, KSC-50's and the KSC-35's, I have come to the conclusion that for me the ultimate inexpensive portable would be the KSC-35's designed with a headband instead of clips. They seem superior to the others in most ways but...

Part of the fun of the hobby for me is to audition and trade different headphones in search of the perfect headphone. I have been listening to a pair of PX100's I recently got and overall I am very happy with them for what they are, an inexpensive, light and convienent portable. I find them to...

I was thinking of replacing my VCR with a DVD recorder. I would be using it to record video off of cable, to play video rental and perhaps to play audio CD's. My TV is an older 42" Mitsubisi so I am limited to RCA imputs. While at Circut City, I saw a few Sony and Phillips units in the...

Is the ebay reseller Ideal Sound a good vendor to buy Ety's and is the manufacturers warantee valid when buying from them? I will be using them primarily with my Nomad Zen as a source, should I go with the P's or will the powerful Zen amp drive the S's better and actually sound better than...

I am really thrilled with my new Zen 2.0 and now want to buy another Zen to give as a gift. I am considering the smaller NX because it offers a user replaceable battery and its smaller size but have a few concerns. How significant is the smaller 8MB buffer size? Besides that the LCD screen...

Where can I find a decent, inexpensive mini to RCA cable, like perhaps AR?

I have been using my Zen and MX400's in bed to fall asleep. In the morning I have to search for the little foam pads as they always fall off the buds. Now I cant find one that fell off Any suggestions? Do the RS foam pads stay on any better? What are good headphone to fall asleep with...

Which of the PX100's or 200's are more comfortable? Thanks

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to keep the pads in place so they dont fall off? Do the RS pads fit any better and do they change the fidelity? I like the 400's for what they are but need to find a solution to keeping the pads stable. Thanks

Can anyone comment on the quality of the Nomad FM remote? Thanks

I have called Creative 2 times today and got 2 different answers to my questions. Does the Zen 2.0 support Playcenter 3? Are the Zen drivers the same as JB2? I already have created an extensive library on Playcenter 3 for my JB2. Now I want to get a new Zen 2.0 and use my installed...
