    Triflanges keep coming off W3 nozzle in ear; any tips on how to keep eartips more securely held on IEM bore?

    Title pretty much sums up my situation and what I want to rectify/improve. I imagine this is in part, at least, IEM model specific as W3 have a particulary short bore length (which lends itself to greater succeptibility to tips coming free of it and/or off in ear). However, I know it can happen...

    Any DAPs that recognise and compute multiple field entries e.g. genre?

    Hi, my external HD has recently become faulty-unusable-broken, and, unbacked up- yes, rookie mistake though I had been planning on aquiring a 2nd drive to behave as back-up asap-, my entire music archive, both .FLAC and mp3 (320kbps) are currently inaccessible and potentially lost (need to...

    External hard-drive suddenly not being recognised by either of my computers!

    I have had a 1TB Buffalo DriveStation external hard-drive for approximately the last 8 months or so that I've been using to store all my music, in both .FLAC and 320 Kbps mp3 file directories, amoungst other bits of media (some TV series video files, mainly). I had nowhere near filled it...

    Sony MZ- N910 (net) mini-disc player SQ?

    I've had this player since it was new/when I was about 15-16, though before I got into audio-gear with a critical ear. I went to try it a while back and found battery had died. Just ordered in a new lithium battery for it and am curious to see how it stacks up against my (sony and Apple) DAPs...

    Album Art display niggle on ipod

    Hi there! I've recently (over the last couple of months) re-organised my whole music libraries on my external hard-drive- both .FLAC/lossless and Mp3/lossy mirror directories-, both file naming in Windows Explorer and in tagging for reading and display on DAPs/portable media devices, vorbis...

    I don't think I've heard microphonics yet out of an IEM

    I've just been reading various reviews of various IEMs on these forums over the last few days, and it's just occurred fully to me that I've never heard/detected and/or isolated microphonics in any of the IEMs I own! They are the Klipsch Image X10 (meant to be terrible for cable-noise), Sleek...

    Insight on the SHM-CD format?

    Yo! Title pretty much sums up my request/inquiry. I have become aware of this source format/sub-format as a relatively new release I'm interested in- John Frusciante's 'The Empyrean'- is available in it (not my main reason for wanting the item; the Japanese release has 2 bonus tracks and it...

    Detailing Live tracks on albums and/or compilations?

    Yo! Been in the throws of properly and thoroughly archiving my music collection for the last few weeks- including tagging- and one little nuance is bugging me- how do identify the date and venue of odd (ie not from live albums/whole gigs) live tracks on records? If it's not in the CD liner...

    Still learning- Can .FLAC files be ID3 tagged?

    Yeah, basically spent a long time constructing a new directory for an mp3 version of my .FLAC music library directory, and of configuring the file naming system for both these directories (post ripping/converting, so took a while; know how to preconfigure now so will evade such tedious tasks in...

    Albu, version/edition/release/print etc source?

    As title says, I'm interested in knowing if there are any sources out there (on the Web) that archive, not only the discographies of (most) artists, but also list and describe the various different releases/prints/editions etc of each album, to date? I'm in the throws of creating a new root...

    Where to buy Ataxia- Automatic Writing II?

    This is the disc/release of the second half of the Ataxia sessions and is something I've only recently found out had actually been released; I'd been looking forward to it for quite a while and hadn't kept tabs on when it was to be released. However, it appears to be out of print already- at...

    Naming files/folders in Windows Explorer- any way of removing cap and/or extending number of characters allowed?

    Hi, continuing on from the title, this cap (what exactly is it?) causes problems when I create converted audio files- ie .FLAC to 320 mp3 files- in the root folder (using dbpoweramp's batch converter), and then wish to manually select and move them into a newly created folder, getting the...

    Anyone looking forward to John Frusciante's, ''The Empyrean''?

    I understand it's to be released on the 26/01/09, his first solo album for four years, it features Johnny Marr and Flea and is a concept album. I havn't listened to John in a quite a while- just branched out and got into so much more, musically- and so I'm looking forward to it! Though, I...

    iTunes dilemma; help and/or suggstions/educated guesses would be appreciated!

    Hi there, I'm relatively new to iTunes and am feeling my way into it's slightly different and aschew ways of working and doing things- figuring out how to pull it's strings so it's 'user-friendly, convenient' interface does what I want- but I've come a cropper at one unfathomable situation. I...

    Quick Question re iTunes

    Hi there! I have next to no experience with ipods and using itunes. I want to batch delete audio files from the ipod nano 4G I have in my possession before sending it back to a retailer and I'm having problems. First, I tried to do it via Media Monkey but this didn't transpire (though it...

    New SE102; is this old E2C rebranded?

    Title nearly says it all. Old E2C/SCL2 was a single, DYNAMIC, driver earphone offered by shure. It differed to the E3C in that it's single driver was of dynamic variarty as opposed to the E3C's balanced armature driver (the series then continued with balnaced armature technology). This model has...

    Shure olive mod for TF10?

    I know that this has been come up with and I'm pretty sure detailed aswell but I can't find a thread dedicated to it in my search of this and the full-sized headphones forum so I'm guessing, if its detailed, its been so in the middle of a thread somewhere. Just hoping some kind soul in trhe know...

    Shure SE110's- Pretty decent!

    These are only my very early impressions, but these are actually a pretty solid headphone! I have sat here and listened to most of Frank Zappa's Hot Rats, where the compositions are relatively complex and progressive and have a fair few instruements and sources of noise at work, and these phones...

    Shure Yellow Foamies- lifespan?

    I'm considering buying a pack of these just to try out but they are still quite expensive (16 quid on Amazon UK for ten pairs). I klnow its meant to be short, certainly comparably to the olives, but what is the lifespan of a set of these on average, for heavy use? Less than a week and I'll...

    Frank Zappa Discussion Thread (Originally called: Frank Zappa- Hot Rats & Waka/Jawaka)

    I have both these albums of Frank's- I know they're related and linked, as with the subsequent release to Waka/Jawaka, the Grand Wazoo- and I am just falling in love with the brilliance of the arrangements on these records! The range of styles and lucidity and flow between them; the...

    First impressions of Klipsch Custom 2's (not bad!)

    I ordered these from Amazon UK at their remarkable, short-time offer of 56% off (49.99 marked down from 106.99). I have refrained from trying them out until just now as I have had out and still have in my possession to do more evaluating with 6 DAPs on an extended (due to festive time of year)...

    Lost one UE double-flange Silicone tip of pair- Shock at replacement expense!

    Title pretty much says it all. How darn expensive are replacement tips! I know this likely is not reserved just to UE's but is probably echoed across all diffferent IEM manufacturer's replaceable acessories, but still, thats outrageous to charge 14 or 15 GBP for one set of silicones! It's just...

    My bemusement at ipod bashing

    Another in a long line probably but I just wanted to have my say and express my befuddlement as to why ppl are so downputting on ipods for their SQ. I have here in my possesssion, a sony NWZ-A829, which I own, and then an array of 6 other DAP's I'm side-testing and trialing with a view to...
