I have some experience with the SanDisk player. My boss bought a 1GB model for his wife for Christmas, and I helped him rip some discs. I only listened to one song, and used the included earphones. All I can say from such a limited experience is that it sounded "pretty good," and the...

I've been using Grado SR-80's for quite some time now, but I'm planning on buying some new 'phones soon and am seriously considering the HD 600's. Does anyone have any advice for me, since I can't listen to them beforehand? I should say that I enjoy the Grado's but am looking to expand my sonic...

This isn't a tweak, per se... We all understand that heavier pieces of audio equipment tend to isolate better... do you think that stacking audio components on top of each other, or otherwise placing resonably heavy items on top of your equipment helps to reduce vibrations?

Thanks tangent, that was the kind of reply i was looking for. I'm not looking to build my own amp, I just want a little better understanding of how things work. What about the impedance rating of headphones and how this interacts with the equipment? I've also heard people say that they have...

Hi anyone/everyone, I have a less-than complete understanding of what makes up a headphone amplifier. What are the components, and what do they do? What are the factors that make one headphone amp, whether stand-alone or built into a portable device or home component, sound better than...

It looks like a nice alternative for someone trying to avoid the trendy iPod, but that weak headphone output could be a real problem. I'm eagerly awaiting some reviews.

I don't think it will power your HD600's.

I know for sure that the Nomad Jukebox 3 allows for replacement of the battery, and can even accept a second battery for longer life... it pays the price in size however, compared to the iPod and Zen.

Yeah, like uh... I use the custom eq, advanced eq, and boost everything a touch with another small boost to the highs and lows. Cheers.

I have an SL-S470C, from the same era: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=35198 Yes, the "C" suffix designated a "car-ready" model. MASH is not the name for the anti-skip system, but rather the "high-order noise shaping and pulse-width-modulation digital to analog converter"...

note to pdap designers/engineers everywhere: in the future, always allow for the battery to be accessed and replaced by the user.

what a boneheaded design decision.

Review coming?

I have an SL-S470C: http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=35198 I've retired it from normal use, but it served me well over the years. The headphone output is listed as less powerful than my SL-SX500 - but it sounds good. I'm not sure which model you're considering, but this one...

The iMP-400 looks like a very nice unit. I'm wondering, does it have a solid feel to it? Also, does it have a rotary volume control or buttons?

If it's something you really want (like a WM-DD9), you should email the foreign seller and ask him/her if they will ship to the U.S. (or wherever you are). Sometimes they will agree, even if they had originally intended to only ship to their home country. I think sometimes people don't even...

Tina, here is what the manual says about the head: "Advanced EX amorphous head Double gutters and fine gap produce clearer sound in the lower and upper register respectively. Single crystalline material employed for the wiring of the head transmits the signal accurately."

krayzie, how did you get the adaptor? Did you get it from Sony, and how much did you pay?
