There must be a few people around here who have heard this combination... How does it sound? Is it a good combination, are there any better amps in that pricerange for the AKGs? Thanks, jesse

Pardon if this has already been asked, but how do you setup EAC to rip (& then compress with LAME) a CD as a single file (to get gapless)? More of a portable question, but I figure the EAC experts probably hang out here. Searching I only found people saying to do this, not how to. I haven't...

I find even in a "quiet" room ambient noise can be detrimental to sound quality on open headphones, masking or blurring frequencies altogether. Almost anywhere you go theres bound to be at least 20dB of background noise, and thats conservative. Furnace, fans, all sorts of noise that typically...

I'm not quite sure which forum this belongs in, but there seems to be more traffic here (than comp as a source) so this will do. Anyway, the title of this post basically covers the question. My laptop soundcard has a horrific hiss and some humming that sounds like interference of some sort. I...

I'm looking to buy E5Cs, although I will settle for E5s if necessary. Headroom, which would be my preference, does not want to lower their terrible price, so I'm looking for other options. Todd doesn't have a bad deal, but I'm wondering if there are any other better prices. People always say you...

I did a quick search but didn't find anything, so hopefully this hasn't been covered before. iTunes doesn't seem to recognize Hail to the Thief, and I think it has something to do with the autorun and other file bs on the disc. Anyone have a way to get iTunes to recognize it so I can rip it...

I've had my A900s for several months now and I've enjoyed them greatly. In retrospect I'm glad I chose them blindly over the SR-225 and HD-580 (which I auditioned quite a bit in preparation for my first major purchase), I guess I got lucky. The HD595s on the other hand are quite new to me, as my...

I've gathered through searching only that the 'static problem' does exist, and that complaints seem to have died down recently. There is vague talk of recent Minis being somehow 'fixed' but nothing official or definite has been mentioned. Has anyone opened newer batches of Minis? Have there been...

A little while ago I made a thread on laptops and I have been doing research elsewhere since I'm about to purchase one. Almost everything I've come across has said to avoid Dell notebooks. My Dad is looking for a new PC and recently started looking at Dells, but I'm worried that they are just as...

Anyone know where I can find lots of info on laptops? I'm particularly concerned with brand reliability and weight/temp/battery life comparisons etc, since I pretty much know what I want (centrino, 512+ddr ram, 40gighd, dvd drive, vid card would be nice, small screen 12.1 or 14 max) component...

I'm sure everyones tired of E5c threads but I've got a bit of a different question. I've heard the E5c bass described as fullsized bass in a canalphone... And I've also heard the E5c described as a $200 headphone in a canalphone package. This isn't something I like... Consider the ER-4 for a...

Alot of people seem to have problems with how deep the ER-4 goes in the ear. What I'm wondering is exactly how deep it goes... Can anyone tell me how long the foamies/tri flanges are, and maybe even estimate how far they go in the ear? Are they about the same as an earplug or are they much...

The search function has apparently been disabled atm so you'll have to excuse this. Headroom ships (internationally) via Fed-Ex and I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with it? Should I be worried at all? Any advice/reassurance/warnings would be appreciated. Thanks. -jesse

There are complaints about the cables going behind the head. Can you run the cables around behind your ears and down your neck, then back over a shoulder out front? I have no problems with that, but I can't tell whether the cables go that way or all the way down the back or something odd. I...

So, lets say one day for some reason you don't have any of your audio equipment anymore. If your married your wife probably got fed up and sold it all What shes left you is just $1500 to make a system, source amp and cans. Maybe shes really considerate and leaves you a little extra for cables...

Sorry about the long post, but if ATH-A900 owners would take the time to read and respond briefly I'd GREATLY appreciate it. I'm looking into some ATH-A900 largely because response here has been almost unanimously positive. I say almost not because I found anything negative, but because I...

Perhaps I'm overlooking something, in which case if someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful; but it seems to me it would be nice to have a budget source thread in one place. I've looked a fair way back in this forum to find only occasional threads and passing comments...
