I know I'll benefit but what I'm looking for is an appreciable difference . If you think it'll be leaps and bounds better with a more powerful amp, please also state your opinion on high quality cables. Setup is .wav - XP - Itunes - stock Prelude - Tomahawk - HD650 all basic cabling.

What I have: DFI Lanparty with built in 5.1 sound. RSA Tomahawk .......that's it. I plan on getting HD650s and a good mic for gaming. I realize the soundcard won't be great, so what's a good recommendation? I don't plan on immediately getting a surround system but I'd rather not spend...

iTunes "Mainlist" has songs A-Z I want a "gym list" which contains songs A, B, C and D If I set up a second list and do this, it physically copies the song on there twice, which sucks and is ineffecient and stupid. What do I do?

I really can't wait for Interstellar: The String Quartet Tribute to Interpol and all the Califone stuff I've never heard. Keep It Like a Secret - Built to Spill Cassadaga - Bright Eyes Quicksand/Cradlesnakes - Califone Sometimes Good Weather Follows Bad People - Califone Roots...

Okay. They're fine unamped out of an Ipod. At the absolute lowest volume they're still too loud for me in quiet environments, but it isn't unbearable most of the time. Amped they are just WAY too loud with my Hornet, YES THE GAIN IS SET TO LOW. Like if I'm in my car or something they're okay...

I have E500s right now which are 36 ohms. With these and my Ipod I find that they are just a tad too loud at the absolute lowest volume setting in a quiet environment. In noisy places I only adjust the volume up very slightly and it's plenty. With the Tomahawk at low gain, they are too loud...

This thing is LOUD with my E500s. Too loud. If I lower the volume past the last dash on the knob I notice the left ear gets quieter first. Does this happen with all of them or is this cause for concern?

I'm a nub when it comes to all this, on ALO's site cables seem to come in either two plug or one. Which do I need? What's the difference? This crap is REALLY expensive! :O

I want to do this, I rip them as .wav files, and I put them in my playlists, and when I check the properties, it says it's a .wav file, but the file size is only something like 2.75 megs a minute, and I KNOW .wavs are more like 12 megs a minute. What is Apple doing here?

K I know I know I just want to make sure. I don't plan on buying an Amp for a while but I just bought a 5.5. Do I need anything other than the plain old Imod to use the headphone jack? And the headphone jack is Imodded right? I'mnotworthy! Well, that's that --- Unlike the 4th...

"4. Widescreen iPod with touch-sensitivity and wireless features (7 out of 10). According to several Apple patents, along with word from component suppliers, Apple is working on a 6th generation widescreen iPod that could feature touch-screen capability. We believe that the new iPod will be a...

Using E500s, either straight from Audigy 2 on my PC or straight from my 2g Nano, but with no EQ, using Shure black rubber sleeves. Should I even bother with an amp and expensive IC? Will I notice anything? Feel like my E500s were a waste now.

Rock or classical, I like a lot of acousticish stuff(Sufjan Stevens Califone etc.) I want to put my E500s and myself to the test.

Newbie here, just got my E500s today. I've been using the triflanges as they aren't very uncomfortable and they offer the best isolation. Problem with them is sometimes the sound is muffled and I have to adjust them, and they are uncomfortable, almost painful to put in my ears. How easy is...

I live in Southern CT and I have E500s and I'm looking at a Tomahawk, selling my Nano and getting an Imod, cryo ALO etc. etc. but before spending another $600(!!!) I'd like to hear some similar setups personally and compare it to my Nano to see if it's worth it to me. I'd buy you lunch...

Here's my headphone history: Bought Nano - can't use earbuds because they fall out of my ear too often. Got some $30(which is seriously a lot of money for headphones) Sony behind-the-ear sport things, worked ok'ish until I accidentally tore the cord on them in a weird mishap. Did some...

Right now I'm using an Audigy 2, a Harmon Kardon HK-3480 2 channel receiver and two... JBL 4311B monitors. One of them has some holes punched im them from when I was a kid but I really notice NO difference(does this tell you something?) Anyways I want to upgrade to surround for movies and...

Hi. New posted. :wave: lalala anyways, my bud ripped out of my ear and the stupid rubbery thing that seals in your ear snapped off the headphone and I lost it. Obviously I was smart enough to throw the small and large slipovers away, so they don't work too well now. I saw some...
