    Would putting my Plextor Premium in an external enclosure affect rip quality?

    So I have a Plextor Premium drive (v.1) and if I remember correctly, it's one of the better CD rippers on the market. I use to leave it plugged into the computer, but now I've moved to a smaller case and honestly I rather have a DVD burner plugged in because it's more versatile. I'm thinking of...

    Does Shure SE420 feel "heavy"?

    One of the problems with my Shure E4Gs is that it feels little heavy if I wear it by inserting the earbuds straight into my ear without forming a loop over my ears.
