etymotic 6i dead, what should I buy?
When I say dead, I mean one headphone is about 10 times louder than the other one. At first I thought there was something wonky with the source, but no, it really was the headphones. I'm hoping for advice about what to replace them with. I listen to predominately electronic music...- Dster

Specific Wireless needs
The last time I asked this someone mentioned the Widio device. My only problem with it is the annoying fact that I would have to unplug it from my stereo and 'dock it' after about every 4 hours of use. Search Newegg for widio to see what I'm talking about.- Dster

Specific Wireless needs
Hi there, I currently have the following setup: Computer --> U.S. Robotics 900 MHz transmitter --> USR 900 MHz receiver --> Stereo amp. I would like to replace this with something that has better sound and is less flaky. Anyone know of a product which will do this? Notice - I am NOT...- Dster

Archos, Compact flash, and convergence
Once upon a time, I bought a Gmini 220 because I thought it would be nice to have a device that I could quickly dump photos to on the go. I returned it after a week because it couldn't read my CF cards. Out of amusement, I have followed the anguish of Gmini users and Archos firmware...- Dster

Sending music wirelessly from computer to stereo
I have an old(ish) U.S. Robotics device that transmits arbitrary audio out from my computer to my stereo. Unfortunately, it is an analogue 900 MHz signal that carries the sound, so there is significant loss of quality along the way. I have had a few frustrating conversations with Best Buy and...- Dster

Airtunes hack?
I contacted apple, and they told me that Airtunes could only be used from within iTunes. I would buy this product if it could broadcast arbitrary audio output digitally from my computer to my stereo over 802.11. Right now I am using the U.S. Robotics 900 MHz analogue system, and needless to...- Dster

iHP-120 in the car
I have an AIWA X504MP in my car that I'm using to run my ihp-120 through the front panel AUX. Some thoughts: -using the (not truly) line out at full volume sounds amazing to my humble ears -the line out is punchier than the headphone out, so there is some difference going on there...- Dster

When I say 'easy', I mean no manual required. Ever. Clearly the ihp 100 series is not easy in this sense. Does anyone here honestly think that they could have discovered/figured out the automatic assignments of presets in FM mode just by fiddling around? Unlikely, even with a fair amount...- Dster

Review Request: NEX ia / Nex ia Plus
I just went to the frontier labs website. They are still advertising the IIe, and in the blurb they say 'supports infinite firmware upgradeability'. Wow - they're still at version 1.1! I guess sometime around the heat death of the universe they may reach 2.0. To infinity - and beyond...- Dster
