Cool, theres a dealer for Equation Audio in my area, I'll have to try them out next time I'm around there. Seems new companies are also becoming suggested, last I came here the Eggo phones were being suggested to everyone.

I want new headphones, I used to have Sony Eggo headphones and really loved them but them broke. So now I'm looking for a new pair in that price range (100$) I don't want too much bass, and I really hate it when headphones sound muddy. I've been using the graph at Products - HeadRoom - Right...

Are they very noticable to other people while you are wearing them? I know there are a lot of people that live in Seattle on this site, do you know anywhere around I could go and buy them so I don't have to order them off of the internet?

Sony MDR-E888SP Fontopia Earphone Audio-Technica ATH-CM3 Stick Inner Ear Earphones Sony MDR-E931SP Fontopia Earphone Sony MDR-ED31LP N.U.D.E Earphone Those are the models that looked interesting to me at Audio Cubes. I'm looking for small earphones to use with my CD player that would be...

I want to make an amp for a small speaker (about 3 inches) would a normal cmoy amp work? I was looking through the digi-key catalog for possible speakers that aren't too thick and have the full 20 to 20 frequency range and I found that the part P-10177 looks alright. I don't need audiophile...

grounding jacks now, i'll report if it works or not in about 10 minutes grounding makes all the difference in the world! it sounds 100x better now. when there is no source plugged in at all should there be any noise if you plug in headphones? from the right i get a constant low buzz and...

I know sleeve is ground but which magical connector on the jack connects to the sleeve. I suppose I could find that by getting one of those things that plugs into the jack and ripping one end off and using that but I don't want to right now. Plus it seems like a large waste of money.

"If you don't already know how to hook up jacks and pots, you should read my How to Wire Panel Components article before proceeding." "I could put information about specific jacks here, but instead it's better to learn how to sound out the pinout of a jack yourself. That way you're not...

I got my CMOY amp to work tonight following the plans here but there is a rather loud hiss. With my sister's cheap headphones it's louder than with my 40ohm Sony MDR-66SL (Eggos). Is this simple hiss that can be cured by adding an R5 or is it oscillation? If it's oscillation how do I fix that...

A lot of bad effect. I have a 15ft extension without the converter and it picks up an insane amount of interference. Right now I am working on making my own extension cable for my headphones from my thread: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...70#post1083370

Could someone help me out here? Westlake is obviously not helpful to the beginner. I found the star quad cable but I can't find male and female 1/4 audio jacks and if I could how would I know if the cable would fit into them? Could someone more experienced help me out with some links to products?

How would I go about making an Shielded headphone extension? This would be for my computer setup because my current Radioshack cable picks up an insane amount of interference on the run from my computer to headphones. It would have to be about 12 feet long.

I want to make an amp as a project, I'm thinking of going from the line out from my 16bit Soundblaster to my MDR-D66 heaphones. Which amp should I make and where can I find insturctions? Thanks for any help you can offer, this is my first amp so I don't want anything too complicating but nothing...

Why would it take you that long? Rip them all to wav, or as many as your HD can hold at once then batch encode and tag them with http://www.lameb.fsnet.co.uk while you're asleep. It works perfectly if you just read up how to use it. LAME is your best choise right now, AAC is better but there...

What headphone stores in Orlando would have the 580's and some other sennheiser phones to try, preferably some grados to test out too. Please post addresses and names of the stores.

I'm looking for a new PCDP that costs 80$ or less, is light weight and small, and won't skip while playing CDs. I have no clue where to start looking for a new PCDP i tryed looking at amazon but there are just too many players to look through.

I wouldn't be able to deal with an MP3 CD player without the ability to FFWD through MP3 tracks

So are there any other companies that also make good MP3 CD players? There must be another company out there. The 350 even has free shipping I've got two 10$ amazon gift certificates coming soon so i want whatever i buy to be available at amazon.

I need a new CD/MP3 player (whatever the kind that play MP3s on a CD are called), i want one that is under 125$. It has to be able to use playlists also. I'd also like one that has the controls right on the unit and not on a remote, but i haven't found any so i don't know if they make ones like...

So if my MP3's in question do clip according to the MAD WinAmp plugin but i hear no "snap crackle and pop" is it really that bad the they clip at all? Is there any way to make it so my MP3's do not clip anymore? I don't want to re-rip and re-encode them though.

*bump* I'll give this thread one last bump later tonight and then let the thread die assuming that clipping distortion does absolutely nothing and that there is no way to make MP3's stop clipping.

Quote: Originally posted by penvzila definition of clipping "to cut, snip, or trim with or as if with scissors or shears, esp. in order to shorten or remove a part" I was hoping for a slightly better definition then that along with answers to my other two questions, but thanks a...

*bump* for the day people. I'll probably bump it two more times, once for the evening people then once for the night people and then let it die if i don't have an answer.

I have tons of mp3 that have clipping, what does it do to the actual sound? Is what it does noticable to the average ear? How can i make it so my mp3's don't clip? Make the explanation fairly simple because i don't know a lot of advanced audio terms

The eggos do a fine job of not letting your the sound out, unless you listen at deafening volume levels, and they do block out other people talking very well.
