    Winter Jackets

    I haven't been at the forums for quite a while (and a lot has changed since). Wanted to ask you guys how am I to survive winters in Chicago. I'll be spending my college years over there, and I believe that'd be quite a change from the weather I experience over here in Singapore. How would...

    Best little headphoneshop in Asia now in the paper.

    ^ That'll be SGD2000, not USD2000. I just love the shop. Haha. EDIT: Beaten to it.

    AKG K601

    I personally use it with the CKKIII. Bass impact has improved (more impact, and tighter), and so as seperation. Makes the entire sound cleaner in that sense. CKKIII is also cheaper than the Gilmore Lite/GS-1, and yet is a high-quality amp (in my opinion), though it has to be DIYed (or...

    How long does it take for an account registration at Jaben to be verified?

    Shouldn't make much of a difference if you just add it to the "send" field, along with Uncle Wilson's email address.

    Any $100ish amps to drive an ALO HFI-780?

    I like the govibe petite a lot. Have not tried the DAC version, but the amp version is really nice and clear. One of the better amps in its price range, and the size is just so appealing (especially if you are using it with a laptop or something). Haven't tried this, but the mini^3 seems...

    Balanced Solid State Amp

    How It All Ends - Climate Change Video

    This is just Pascal's wager reworded for global warming. Consequence of action VS. Consequence of inaction for risk assessment. Interesting. EDIT: (oh my gosh, that's exactly what the end of the video mentioned).

    Mini3 9v Battery

    I do remember AMB saying something about using the relationship between using a regular alkaline battery and decreased performance due to the current draw. Don't quote me on it though.

    EMU 0404 USB with SM58

    Thanks for all the replies. Sounds good to me. Went round looking for the 0404 USB today. No stock. Will get one after my trip. Together with an SM58.

    In simpler terms, it works, right? Thanks.

    EMU 0404 USB with SM58

    Did a search, but couldn't come to a definite answer. Can the EMU 0404 USB be used with the Shure SM58 satisfactorily? As in can a decent recording be made? I've heard of that there may be potential problems as the SM58 is a dynamic mic (right?). Are the connections compatible without the...

    Three-way Review: HeadAmp AE-2 vs RSA Hornet M vs Rockhopper Mini³

    Can't wait for it. Looks like it'll be interesting, given the inclusion of the mini^3.

    Headphones for my mom

    Must it definitely be a headphone? Are IEMs out? They are comfortable to some (like me), especially when foam tips are used.

    Why not simply plug the headphones into the DAC? (long!)

    A bump after almost 5 years. I think this would be really interesting for newer members. I have tried doing it without any potentiometer. Was a little too loud though. Any idea of how to include the potentiometer into the mini "passive pre-amp"? Don't blame me if this is supposed to be really...

    "Passive Pre-amp" help

    This is probably a very easy question (I've searched, but couldn't find answers). How can one build a passive pre-amp, such that the RCA outs of the CDP goes into this passive preamp, which is only made of a single potentiometer? Then, I'm thinking of having 2 RCA outs from this "passive...

    Final Fantasy VII:Voices of The Lifestream

    This is getting irritating. No seeds currently, and when I last tried at night. It's probably due to the time difference though. I'm 41.2% done.
