http://vancouver.craigslist.org/sear...age%20receiver any feedback on which of these would be a good deal? thanks in advance, +karma to all who respond! (trying to find something that would have a good headphone out to synergize with a 325i)

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...ro_Active.html http://vancouver.craigslist.org/ele/406120229.html how will these two work together? will the speakers be underpowered? or am i doing this wrong altogether.. another question.. how would i connect the marantz to my computer? is there...

for my intents, which may include powering some axiom bookshelves, which will give me the best sound? i will be listening to 325is.. how would i connect a stereo receiver to the computer? i think stereo receiver would be best bang buck, because it can power bookshelves and has dac/amp for...

noob here, posting on my friend's account - right now i'm going for a budget setup, basing it around the ms1 (upgrado in the future?) i understand that the best way is to buy a dac and an amp as well for a desktop setup(incidentally, does the ms1 improve noticeably at all with a dac/amp?) or...

I've read every thread comparing either, and they are vague enough to leave me undecided on both. Every person who has said they prefer either has never really noted what music they listen to, or their preferences in cans. One guy recommends 325, and then a few threads later, he recommends MS2...

http://www.myspace.com/acresofocean Wow, first band that I've heard that has actually given me that "WOW!!!" feeling on the first song. It says on their site that the album is for free download, but I can't find a link and I'm in canada. (they're in europe) Any bands to recommend for this...

Let's hear it, am I the only one weird enough (or poor enough to not want to buy iems ) who uses Grados for portable use? I use mine on the bus, skytrain, car and whenever I'm just walking around. Sure I get stares on the bus because of the sound leakage or maybe the retro look, but I don't...

The emotions induced by the music I call "interpretive rock" is a drug for me, and I've only breached the surface of what is out there. I'm looking for bands in the vein of Tool, Alice in Chains and MAYBE Underoath or The Mars Volta. My search is for bands that sound very dark and emotional...

I formatted my Toshiba Gigabeat F10 with the gigaroom utility, and it had rockbox installed. I'm such an idiot, I shouldn't have done that.. Can anyone send me their original F10 firmware, or find me a link? It seems like i've looked everywhere for the Toshiba firmware and I just can't find it...

I'm eyeballing a brand new cowon D2 (POTENTIALLY). Any feedback on if $230 CDN is a good price on the 4GB model? I'm not getting a warranty or anything As of now, what's the highest capacity of flash memory one can put into it? And the biggest question: How does the headphone out power...

Well, I guess I just ahve to try the COWON X5L. Anyone know a good reputable place/website in the US/Canada to buy this baby?

Anyways, I am largely unsatisfied by the lack of punch provided by my Audio Technica A900s. According to headphonereviews.org however, they provide more punch than the SR60/80s(?). I don't know if I'm reading the ratings wrong or whatever, but the bass impact of the A900s is rated higher than...

Hi, I'd like some headphones that: - could be suitably driven from a Zune (loud/good sound quality) - are good for rock/metal in general (Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Boston, etc.) - under $250 CDN - are sort of balanced, I don't want headphones that are too neutral or 'boring' -...

Hey, I've got $200-400 CDN to spend on a portable hard drive player, which must be 30 GB at least. I've had experience with iPods and Zens, so no to those. Please give me your advice on one out there that has high output power, and good sound quality. My primary focus for this player would be...

Hi, I'm a high school student and am generally new to listening to music via "higher quality" headphones in general. I normally listen to music in the 128-256kbps range for about 5 to 6 hours per day. I used to have a surround sound system, but my landlord complained about the loudness. Which...
