I saw this article earlier today and thought it'd make for a......splendid......pleasant......sugar-and-spice-and-all-that's-nice......relaxing and interesting discussion! :joy: Here's the fun topic: if you were a little-bit sadistic and sociopathic, and if you were working at an infamous...

I've been wondering about this for awhile, especially considering the exploding debt levels around the world, which obviously can't go on forever. So when the next global recession / financial crisis / currency crisis (and/or reset) happens, how will this affect the headphone industry? Whether...

***This has now been updated from Version 5.0 to Version 5.1*** (Edit date: January 26, 2021) If you can install Rockbox firmware on your beloved iPod Classic or on any other compatible music player, or if you already have this firmware, then you’re in for a real treat! Furthermore, if you also...

Just had this thought go through my head today: it'd sure be nice if you could buy a portable music player (or have software on your computer, or a smartphone app) with an AI program that could take crappy-sounding MP3s, analyze the music data, make "smart" guesses about what sonic data is...

There's an updated article for the latest version, Version 5.0, at this link. Have fun....

Here are some fun "equal-loudness contour" charts. The first one is of the Fletcher-Munson curves, created in 1937. The second is a more up-to-date chart from 2003.   If you follow a contour line, the tone pitches appear to be the same loudness.   No wonder the higher bass increments on my...

If you could hack into the Facebook or Twitter account of someone you don't like, and could post just one "status update" as an imposter that would make him or her look really silly, what would you post?   Here's my idea:   "Gonna get laid tonight. What song should I bang to?"   (This...

At the moment I own both the FiiO E12A and Cayin C5 portable amps, and can give you a big comparison.   In late February, I bought an E12A at a local Hi-Fi shop after comparing it with the C5 while using my V-Moda M-100 headphones. One of the biggest reasons I chose the former was because the...

Here's a good, relevant topic for this site: how do you go about collecting music?   Personally, when building my music collection, I use all avenues of acquiring content -- “legal” and “illegal,” corporate and independent, paid and unpaid, etc.   I live in China, so for most non-Chinese...

I've come down with a cold these last couple o' days and my headphones sound weird! I've had to turn the volume up considerably more, and the lower the pitch is, the less I can hear it. Feels funny for my M-100s to be vibrating a lot, but can't hear any sub-bass. And if one ear has slightly more...
