Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forums and so far it has been great. Everyone is very helpful and so I was hoping I could get answers to a couple noobish questions. I figure I might as well get em all with one stone!
a) When starting up what should be my first step/upgrade? Right now I dont have anything special but by the same token dont have alot of money to play with (in school) I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD 212pros, a pair of Sony MDR-XD200, Sennheiser MX-500s and as of tomorrow, Koss KSC-75s. I've seen all kinds of things that people use in this place, especially with their portable music devices.
b) Specifically, what does rewiring of the headphones accomplish? I would assume the obvious, better sound etc. But is it worth it? Also are there any good guides out there? This and modding of headphones has definately caught my interest so any info on mods would be appreciated as well.
c) When I hear clicks and pops occasionally is it more likely to be my computer's sound card (right now just using onboard sound), the mp3 itself, or damage to my headphones? I'm hoping it isnt the 3rd one because I think I've taken care of them pretty well, and it occurs on more than one pair. I also dont listen to music too loud.
Thanks everyone, hopefully this will help other newbies out there too!
