T+A Solitaire T wireless, mint condition. Shipped in original box and packaging with all original components. Only used for ~30hrs with 2 charge cycles. Updated to latest firmware via the T+A app. Also included is 2.5mm balanced cable (5') for connection to balanced source (I use a...

Ahhh yes, there's still quite a lot of interest! Most of the comments are in the main thread: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/t-a-solitaire-t-wireless-headphone.964925/

I have been enjoying my new Solitaire T phones, especially since the improvements in the app, which now allows for 3 levels of ANC and fixed the volume issues. One feature that I've found annoying is the announcement that happens whenever a setting is changed. In particular, activating...

Hi Everyone, I'd like to announce the birth of a new MINT amp. She joined us yesterday at midnight or so, with few complications. Both mother and daughter are resting comfortably. Here are three pics of the new baby. Although I didn't post any questions, I read every post that I could find on...

I would say buy a 20gb nomad zen, upgrade it yourself to 60gb, sell the 20gb harddrive on ebay, and voila you've got a super cheap 60gb zen.

I just made myself a 4P -> 4S converter cable, and it was indeed very simple to make. I used 80 ohm vishay dale 1/8W resistors, gold plated stress relief miniplugs (not sure of the brand) and some stock cord from an old 70s style coiled headphone extension cable. The only (relatively)...

Hi everyone. I just got done reading the 'girls as avatars' thread, and it brought up a question I've been wondering about. How does your significant other react to your love for headphones? I ask this because I recently bought myself some Etys, and I got SO MUCH FLAK from my girl about them...

Quote: Originally posted by Shooey I appreciate everyone's feedback. I decided to give the Grado 225 a shot because the offer I found couldn't really be beat! Brand new, warranty, etc $130 shipped. I figure if I "hate em" that much, I can always sell them. I will probably look into a pair...

I found a really simple solution for solving the microphonic noise issues of the Ety 4 canalphones. I just button the cord into the top button of my shirt. (With the shirt on, unbutton your top shirt button and rebutton it with the cord inside.) This solution won't work for T-shirts, but for...

I don't know if this is the right area for this thread, but I just HAVE to share my happiness. I just got a pair of ER4Ps, like 5 hours ago, and...wow. I have never heard anything the like. Thanks to all of you for convincing me that they were worth trying...ain't NO WAY I'm giving them back...

Yes, the Vishays. Thanks!

BTW, for the 4P->4S converter, does the wattage rating of the resistor make a difference? I can't imagine a headphone line overloading a 1/8W resistor, but I'd like to be sure.

Ah! thanks so much. I have no location listed because I move around a lot...right now I'm in India, but soon I'll be back in San Francisco...then on to Toronto, and then India again. In case anyone cares Didn't mean to be mysterious 88keys

Hi Ablaze, I was thinking of making a 4P -> 4S converter too, but I don't know where to buy the appropriate resistors! Where did you find yours? I'd prefer not to hook up a bunch of them in series...if I can find one around 80 ohms that would be perfect, but 75 would be ok too. Thanks!

Indeed, I stand corrected on the volume issue. I forgot that dimensional differences couldn't be multiplied piecemeal to a resultant volume difference. Also, didn't mean to set off any firestorms regarding the Canadian climate...when you are 3 degrees from the equator (India) "hot summers"...

LOL the 'warmer months?' I hope that was supposed to be funny, especially given your registered location . Quote: Originally posted by Blighty Compared in person to the IPOD, the Nomad really does seem like a brick. Much too unwieldy to carry during the warmer months. I am...

True, true, Bangraman. The size is an issue for some people. The Zen's not quite as different as it seems, however...it's about 90g heavier than the iPod, which is most probably less than the change in your wallet (I actually checked this out on my own wallet). In terms of size, it's about 14 mm...

Ah, my apologies, I seem to have joined after the message was posted. I will check more closely next time! Peace to you and yours

For all you out there struggling to decipher the iPod vs. Zen question, here's another option that you may not have considered: http://www.audiobooksforfree.com/kalashnikov/ak-mp3.asp Talk about rugged construction. (ironically) Peace to you and yours
