I got home today and sitting on my doorstep is my new iMod and my new GoVibe 5. Unfortunately, I don't have my new mini-mini yet. As a back up, I was going to use the 5 dollar mini-mini that we use in the car to attach the iPod to the stereo. But my wife has the car for the next three hours. So...

I'd like to eventually get a new pair of speakers (like, in nine months, but you can't start researching too soon!). Suggestions for sites for research. In case it matters, my budget will hopefully be around $1000. -- David

Hi, I'm looking for a case to protect my iMod (iPod Photo) plus a small amp -- ideally, quite small. I want to be able to access the iPod without having to remove it from the case. And I wan't it to be as small as possible. All I know is the Gigabag from Headroom. Anything else I should...

I'm looking to get a mini to mini for around 20. Right now I know about the Cardas 6" $14 plus 7 for shipping on headroom. And I've looked some on the used forum here. I like the right angle connectors, but I don't think that is make or break.

Hi, So I've gone ahead and bought an iPod to be modded and now I need to get an amp. I was originally hoping for a Supermini or Tomahawk, but now it is seeming likely that I won't have enough money. I think I should look in the sub hundred range, ideally 60 or less. Any thoughts? I would...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a Xin (fixup.net) SuperMini or RSA Tomahawk for my Shure E5's with an iMod. I understand that the Tomahawk isn't out yet, but I am wondering if there are general differences/sound-profiles between Xin's work and Ray Sammuel's. I have read a huge number of...

Hi there, I'm planning on getting an iPod Photo (60 gigs) to be iModded. I have been trying to look for new models on the theory that I want this thing to last as long as humanly possible. But it would expand my possibilities if I looked for refurbished ones as well. Does anyone have any...

Hi, So we've gone through like 4 cassette to iPod converters and have deceided that our (cheap) car stereo is just destroying them. We've also had bad luck with the radio frequency ones. So I'd like to be able to just directly connect an iPod into the car. I think the easiest and best way...

Hi there, I have a new macbook pro and I'd like to stream music from it to my speakers. I have a 9 year old (relatively cheap) Denon Stereo Amp connected to 9 year old Clements speakers (which I am fairly happy with). My plan is to buy an airport express and connect it to the Denon...

I want to wirelessly stream music from my new MacBook Pro to my streeo (which only has RCA connections, although I have been thinking about upgrading my Amp...). I've seen a few more expensive solutions out there than the Airport Express. Are they worth it? Does bit perfect mean that the...

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the three flavors of audioline out cables. I'm not too worried about the price (they only vary by $7). Questions: What's the difference between the cooper and silver sound? How much more durable is the flex cording? I don't want to have to...

Hi, I've been thinking seriously about buying a new 4th Gen iPod and getting it modded by red wine audio. It was pointed out to me on the amps forum, http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=187196, that it would be substantially cheaper to get an iPod line out (going through the dock...

Does anyone have any suggestions for what amp to pair with my Shure E5's? I would like something no larger than an iPod... ideally, somewhat smaller. I want it to stay portable. I like the sound profile of the E5's. I never thought of myself as a bass head (I generally like to not EQ things)...

Damn, these are nice. Wow. Really amazing. Those who suggested them to me on the basis of liking the E4s (at a store) were dead on... Now I want to go through and re-listen to my whole music collection. So many details are coming out that I've never heard before, especially on the...

So I am new to the world of expensive headphones, so I don't really know whether it is worth waiting for the new Shures to come out before buying. I doubt I would actually buy the E500 (as appealing as it sounds...), but people have suggested that their other headphone prices would drop (or at...

So I swung by my local headphone shack -- the DMX store in Santa Monica, CA http://www.dxcstore.com/shop/. It is a really nice, very-low pressure place. I listened to headphones for about an hour and a half (at which point they closed, otherwise I'm sure I could've stayed longer). I highly...

There are a couple of new black iPod Photos for sale on ebay. I'm skeptical because I thought they never came out in black. Can anyone confirm this or educate me? e.g. http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-iPod-Photo...QQcmdZViewItem -- David

Hi, So I've been lurking here off and on for a couple of weeks and am still rather confused. I guess I'm not good at sifting advice out of the forums. Perhaps some targated advice would be helpful... I'm looking to spend $100 or less on some IEM. I will be using them on the bus and other...
