    My new setup at work

    I've been away for a while. Life does that to you.   I recently moved to a cubicle at work, from a lab with pretty good audio isolation, so I have to live with headphones now. I have a set of DT770 headphones from the HifiManufaktur service they offered in the EU.   I've got a Chinese 6N3J...

    A/B: 5.5gen iPod / 2nd Gen iPod

    I got my 2nd gen iPod in the mail yesterday. I was suprised as to how well it's held up, but I have a suspicion that the headphone jack on it was damaged before it could be used (abused?) a lot. To make a long story short; I cracked it open after an initial listen, and started trying to...

    iPod case/sleeve

    Did everyone else get a black sleeve with their 5.5gen iPod? I bought a white 5th generation back in Feb06, and it had a white/mocha coloured sleeve. My girlfriend also bought a black 30GB around the same timeframe, and it had a white sleeve. The new 80GB iPod I just bought has a black sleeve...

    Dreaded Dead iPod (fixable?)

    My 5Gen iPod just died the other day. I know that's what a lot of people just say (believe me, I worked on an internet help desk...) Thinking it was the battery, I let it charge for a few hours (5) and then tried to reset it, but it still would not turn on. I then opened it up and tested the...

    Reccomendations for entry-level tube headphone amp?

    I live in Europe, so I require a 240 Volt amp. I am also planning to return back to the United States within the next year or so, so I would like to either invest in an ampliflier that will retain resale value, or I can easily switch to 120 Volts. I'm looking for something entry level...

    What medications do you take, and for what?

    Out of curiosity, what medications do some of you guys take, for what conditions, and what are the side-effects, if any? I am a chronic migraine sufferer, and I've been on about every med on the books for migraines, and now they are starting to try new things again. Right now I'm on Topamax...

    Has anyone tried the iPod Shuffle 2-gen yet?

    I'll be getting one in about a week when my mom comes back from a buisness trip in NYC, but until then I'm curious. Does it need to be amped? (I really, really, really hope not.) The old shuffle was really good about driving my Koss cans, something other cd and mp3 players didn't like...

    M-Audio IE-30/Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro

    http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/IE30-main.html Just goes to show how much a brand-name will cost. At least Ultimate Ears didn't sell all of the rights to M-Audio, so we can still get the same headphones for the same price. It's kind of disconcerting though, that just repackaging them...

    Little Dot Micro+ Just Arrived!

    I was a little worried that this would happen, as soon as I shipped out my Super.fi 5 Pro's, the amp would come. Sure enough it happened. The ninjas were waiting in the bushes outside the post office, because they knew exactly when to put the amp in my Post Office Box. Initial...

    Cracked outer casing on UE Super.fi 5 Pro

    I have tried contacting UE a few times, once via email, and many times with their phone number. The email went unanswered, and the I can never seem to get anyone on the phone. This has gone on for well over a month. A month and a few weeks ago I noticed that the outer casing on my s.f 5 Pro's...
