I have a Griffin dock for Sansa Fuse. I'm really not happy with the sound. Especially in lower range it is more muddy than just taking audio from the headphone out jack of the Fuse. So I decided to take a look at what's what inside the dock. Next to the USB port, C3 and C4, I think, are...

They haven't translated the checkout page, what are the fields that need to be filled in on this form?

I've tried to ABX Flac vs. compressed on my PC and have failed once the bit rate is high enough (160 - 180) but I have limited patience and get listening fatigue easily trying such tests. I'm still interested in knowing for myself if there IS a difference. So here's the test I propose. 2...

I was thinking about building a couple of the Sijosae buffers http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/mon...er-pcb-345035/ http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/ic-...r-pcbs-380773/ I see about a dozen variations of the bc327 transistor on Mouser.com. all to-92. Some are just bulk vs. reel. So let's...

I got an email ad for these today, KDE/250 KOSS · Sound of Koss 2009 Looks like an interesting concept, however at $250 I'm not going to be first in line to order one. Has anyone been able to demo these?

A quick scan of the first page and all but 2 of the threads are about IEMs. Doesn't anyone use ordinary headphones or earbuds anymore? IEMs are fine for noisy situations, airplane, train, noisy machinery. But, given a choice, it seems so much easier (and less expensive) to get really good...

I want to give a friend a Sansa Clip for Chrismas. I'm going to pre-load some music on it for her so she can use it right away. She's never had a MP3 player herself and she's rather impatient about learning new stuff on a computer. I want to be able to recommend some software to her that she...

Despite the popularity of IEMs these days, some of us still need or want to use earbuds. I'd like to put forward the name of Philips SHE2650 earbuds as an option that should get more exposure in the budget class. They're around $11 from Amazon.com. For that, you get the earbuds with foamies...

Woot.com has the refurbished 2gb Sansa clip for 15.99 (+ 5 shipping) today. Yeah, they're refurbished, but my past Sansa refurbs from Woot have been excellent condition.

I'm trying to clear out all my PMs. I deleted everything I could see, but the total counter still shows 80 messages. Welcome, Earwax. You last visited: Today at 02:00 PM Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 80. It probably doesn't actually matter, but in case one of the mods has nothing...

I've see some really good matches and a few that gave me the giggles. a few that stood out: The "new smiley" thread had an ad for smileycentral. Some DIY thread about soldering irons had an ad for 49cent soldering itons And a thread about the MPX3 had a Boosteroo ad

background: In case you didn't see the other thread, Dr. Meier made available to the DIY community a quantity of cable plugs for Senn 580/600/650s from some Oehlbach cables that were not up to spec. Reservations were taken in the other thread and distribution split into three geographic areas...

I'm reading all these glowing reports in the amp section about the Sonic Impact T amp and how well it powers small speakers or K1000s. Has anyone figured out how to mod it to drive normal headphones yet?

Reading the stuff on audioasylum about tosh 3950 mods, I came across mention of using JBWeld epoxy for attaching heatsinks to the chips. The stuff is good to 500 deg. F but it doesn't say anything about its' thermal transfer characteristics. Web surfing for more info about the stuff I found...

This is a totally unscientific and just for fun poll. Choose as many as apply. The poll only allows 20 choices or I would have included other adjectives. The reason I ask, is that I realize now how many phases I've gone through in the last year. First I was interested in detail...

3 reasons why I can't wait for July 2005 1. warm weather 2. Sony releases the baby Qualias in the US. and, most important of all -- 3. Harry Potter book 6 arrives! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling, the sixth book in the bestselling series, has been...

Are there any problems right now in shipping things from Canada to the US? I'm asking because I think I read about some sort of strike or customs snafu that was holding things up badly, but I don't even remember if it was to or from the US that was problematic. I'm thinking about buying...

Help! I've been requested to purchase a CD of Cajun music as a Christmas gift for someone. That's all I know, no artists or titles were sugested. Got any ideas for me?

This may be all in my head. I've been hesitatant to post because it seems so silly and obvious that if it really made a difference everyone would be talking about it already. But with so much "veil" talk recently, I just gotta know if anyone else notices a difference. Here's my "trick", please...

Over 40 people bought boards in the first group buy, but I didn't see that many post in the build questions thread. How many have built an amp already? How hard was it to build?

I built my pimeta about a month ago and I've been tweaking the opamps and buffers since then, but I'm still not 100% satisfied with the amp's performance. It's nice and detailed, but just a bit too polite sounding. I wonder if there are capacitor tweaks that would make it sound a bit more...

The claim of a rolled off high end was stated in one of the other threads. I've never heard one of his amps, is the claim true? Such a thing would show up fairly easily in objective testing, wouldn't it?

I was playing a track in foobar when suddenly my PC froze. Powered off & on again, no sound card detected. Opened the case, reseated the card just in case I'd knocked it loose when I was replacing a noisy fan a few days ago. Still nothing. Oh well. Is there any warranty on these things? I...

I really do love the sound of my new(used) HD600s, but everytime I listen to them I fall asleep. What should I do?

Xitel PCLink AN-1 This thing really isn't too bad when you add an amp to it. This is the little gadget that was used to record MDs from a PC before NetMD came out. It's just a USB sound card. I'm sure some of you have one sitting in a drawer somewhere from your old MD units. Well, dust it off...
