Did anyone see this article in the September issue? They compared ER6's and three IEM's I don't think have ever even been mentioned here (one was Creative, the others I don't recall). What about universal fit UE's or Shures!?

I've decided that Max PC is incapable of putting out a good audio review. Maybe it's not their fault since it's not their focus. But the "Maximum" part should mean good equipment reviews for each computer subcategory.

I still can't forgive them for picking the ipod as the best player "ever" a couple of years ago without even reviewing any of the real competition (such as the iRiver H1xx).

They were better when they were boot magazine.

^ I agree. I gave up on that publication when they had an article saying that the phantom console (info@ http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NTEy ) was going to be a great product

But Maximum PC gets it right when it comes to DRM!!!

Check out the story in this months issue on HD and Blu-Ray DVD drives and playback via a PC. It's dead on and pulls no punches when it comes to the all the trouble and problems that are caused by DRM.

However, they are pretty much deaf when it comes to audio quality.

Oh well, win some, lose some.

Sad but true my good friend. Maybe not when going by sound quality or looks or features or anything individually, but EVERYONE has heard of the iPod, and THAT is what makes it the best player ever.

Drinking a little RedWine doesn't hurt either

It's not hard to get that right, everybody hates DRM (since it's like equal to hurting puppies

).

Maximum PC has degenerated into Klipsch and Plextor whores. There, I said it!

That said, I have a free subscription but haven't read the latest issue yet. Now I have a reason!
