    Would a loseless digital rip of vinyl sound exactly the same?

    I have listened to vinyl and digital recordings side by side through the same amp and speakers and they certainly sound different - the vinyl sound is more pleasing to my ears. I've read a fair bit about the vinyl vs digital 'debate' and my conclusions are that there is no technical superiority...

    Help with ATH-CK10 in ear monitor re-cabling or self repair

    My beloved CK10s have bit the dust but I still hold out hopes of fixing them. They are discontinued and no new pairs available. The left monitor was choppy for a while, but could be corrected by fiddling with the cable at the monitor head, strongly suggesting that the issue was a faulty wire...

    IEM Repair Bay Area?

    Anyone have a good recommendation for IEM repair in the Bay Area or beyond? I've a set of Audio Technica CK10's that are now low on volume on one monitor only.

I thought it would be easy to find a replacement...

    Sony NWHD3 = RIP...searching for greener pastures.

    After a grand total of 18 months, the hard drive on my HD3 has bitten the dust. I'm well pissed as I paid 300 euro for this which is big money for a student. My mate's iPod did the same after 17 months. Are all hard drive mp3 players liable to give up after such a short period? For pure value...

    Headphones for on the move...

    Hi all, I'm a relative newcomer (in a serious way) to the headphone world though I've been buying phones for the last 10 years. I want to buy a set for my Sony HD3 mp3 player as my last pair of Sennheiser MX550s gave up on me after a few months just like I knew they would. I bought a pair...
