Thanks for the responses, I have yet to cut the cable, but the razor blade idea is where I was headed anyway.  I understand the sentiment about Beat cans, they are good for kids, not for me. These are my earphones that I use at the gym, on my bike and they are good for what they are, especially...

So, I want to repair the connector on my Beat earphones, I use them at the gym and they still work fine, but the connector is damaged.  I was using the earphones and they were connected to my Ipad when the Ipad fell off the stand and I think a connection broke in the plug.  I am ready to cut the...

So I used the same W2's with my BSG CMoy, clear as a bell, has to be the amp Any thoughts, it's an E7

So, IMHO, the most beautiful steel bikes, including a Stainless Steel model, are built by Dario Pegoretti. He hand paints the frames so no two are alike. He has built bikes that have been "badged" by many other manufacturers. Obviously there are many good examples of great steel bikes, my...

I've used them before, will try without the amp. Just the first time I've noticed Thanks

So I made a mistake a posted previously in the wrong place, so let me try again. I was at the gym this morning with my Iphone/E7 and noticed that the Bass was very muddy/distorted. Is this a problem with my W2's or is this something I should be expecting. Never noticed before, even with cheap...

I was at the gym today and noticed the bass seems "muddy", distorted. Is that typical? Had them hooked up to my IPhone/E7, never n o ticked this even with cheap Sony IEMs. Any input is appreciated

I will post photos when they are done

I dont know why you say that people are "hating" CF, I for one do not hate CF, but the original thread was about getting a bike for Triathalons for $2K.  I'm not sure if you have done a Tri, but the folks that train for these events put a lot of miles on their bikes and need not only a good...

Thanks for the help, found some cups and I'm good to go

So is this totally homebrew or is this based on a kit with some mods. Do you have a schematic? Thanks

Justt o be clear, I'm not hating on C.F., I am responding to the post regarding a "good" bike for 2K +/-. You can get a low end C.F. bike for that, but low end components are not good for Tri's. Shimon Sora/Tiagra just are not durable enough and oh they are heavy. You can get a great steel bike...

I agree with most of what is said here, but honestly most CF feels way too dead.  It dampens everything out so you get little in the way of "feedback" from the road.  Obviously this is a generalization, I would never turn down a top end CF bike, but a lugged, steel bike, built by someone like...

Looking for a source, any help appreciated

I like the idea of a cheap office rig. I'm curious why folks have not considered buying some elements via Craigslist. Frequently people are getting rid of good hardware (things like Klipsch Heresy's) for cheap. I bought a set of used B&W bookshelf speakers for $50. Just a thought. I'm kind of a...

Your strategy is good, but seriously, get her fit professionally and buy her a second hand bike. My guess is you can buy a topline bike for 2K

I think the original question regarding Motobecane still should be discussed. As noted, most bikes are built in Tiawan, including this "French" label. A lot of brands have moved production there. It's important not to "knock" "Made in China" because a lot of good stuff is built there. I think...

I ride a bunch, like 500mi a week. I have way too many bikes, my "best" ride is a 10yr old Lightspeed with an Ultegra grouppo. Honestly I think either Steel or Ti is the way to go, particularly if you are over 50 like I am. You can probably get hooked up with a lightly used High End Bike on the...

Looking for a good source for some 3.5 male to 3.5 male to male short cables for my portable set up? Thanks and Happy New Year

First. Thanks. I have a MacBook Pro, probably better than most

So, for a newbie, is this a recommended buy for use in an office environment or is the fiio setup a better buy? Obviously I posed a very open ended question, but I am looking at some practical advice Happy New Year

This is a very helpful post. Not everyone has the ability to discriminate sound to the level of the best audiophiles, this is helpful to those of us getting older and the hearing loss that accompanies old age. Great post

I know this thread is about the comparison of the Momentum to the P7 but can anyone weigh in on the AKG 545 as an alternative? TIA
