Important or no? I'm used to making guitar and mic cables and we always use the shield in a XLR connector, is there any benefit for headphones? Because for you typical 4 pin XLR balanced plug, there is no option for tying in the shield, and if you wanted to use the shield for a 2 x 3 pin XLR...

This is normal correct, because I assume since MP3 is compressed there will be bits lost, because I get the following when I run Bit Comparator in foobar: I used foobar to convert the FLAC to MP3 (320kb/s). Brendan

I've just gotten several CDs that were supposed to be live (ie, gapless), but when I ripped them through EAC (settings are all correct, I've used the exact same settings for many other discs and gapless CDs do come out as gapless) I found out that the tracks were 2 seconds longer than it...

Disclaimer: This review represents my own personal opinions, and are just that, opinions. A couple months back, Philip (Gotez) posted this gracious offer regarding a new start-up called RU connected based out of Bussum in the Netherlands and that he wanted testers for their cable line. I was...

I have been doing a lot of reading lately and wanted to set up my DAC to play higher resolution files. Right now I don't have a digital out I can use from my computer so I am limited to 48kHz files (which isn't too big of a limitation as I barely have any hi-res files), but I may need the...

For when my set of UM3X's are out for repair etc. Isolation and comfort is key as well as neutrality. Must be well rounded and should sound similar to the UM3Xs (bass, frequency range etc.) all for $130. Thanks, Brendan

Specifically the diameter of the gold ground portion: Brendan

I used a pair of Westone UM3X's almost daily up until a couple weeks ago when I mailed them out to Westone for some repairs. My friend gave me his Brainwavz's (sp?) that he got for dirt cheap, and I COULD NOT STAND THEM! While I do like lots of extension in the low end, I do not want it...

...Unless my source (ie, the wall socket and the power that goes through it) is up to snuff as well? I should rescind the boutique portion, I was just looking at some Hammond surge suppressors and some DIY power cables, but just in case those oh-so-sexy solid aluminum power strips that plethora...

I can't find much info on it here for some reason...you can use all of the foobar functions with it. The compatibility list is in the following link: http://yuo.be/ipod.php You're going to need iPhoneCalc as well: http://www.mediafire.com/?bnuuvwsmi2mvj20 Stick foo_dop.dll in *drive...

I'm just making a USB dock, none of that fancy audio out stuff yet and was wondering if I could wire a female USB-B connector in, instead of a male connect. This sounds crazy, but I am holding the believe that this change will eff with the cable, please tell me I'm wrong.   I am embedding a...

I've always relied on the red dots, is there a better way?   Brendan

That is all, though I picked up the older original 87 True RMS instead of the III or the V for $75. Can anyone shed some light on the differences between the series?

Trying to reduce the mids and overall, balance the sound. If I increase the venting, this should do the trick correct?

Worried about support for the 936 ending, I'm on the fence regarding purchasing the 936 or something else. Good recommendations?

Stealing the limelight from us DIYers and vendors...AND doing such a crap job on the cable. I would not pay for that, or bear to look at it for more than a second.   http://www.instructables.com/id/Sleeving-Earphone-Earbud-Cords-with-Paracord/  

Impossible. What's worse is that some nutjob glued the halves together. I tried heating it up, cleaning the body so its free from any oils, but no dice. I hate Pailiccs.  

So I get the email notifications, but it only gives me a snapshot of the newest post. Is there a way I can actually physically go to that post without having to open up the thread and manually search it, or go to the last page?

About to get a great deal on a Mac G5...always wanted one, so I'm stoked. I also just came in the possession of the Bryston 3B amp and I'm thinking, why not upgrade my DAC as well. I need one with multiple inputs (think optical and USB) that wither is auto-signal sensing, or has a physical input...

I have a Cowon D2 right now, just wondering if there is another player out there with better SQ and looks. I saw the S:Flowhatever and I don't know if I'll like the UI, but I do like the design.

Dye this offending silver piece BLACK....I CAN'T STAND IT @%(*&^(%&(@ D2 apart Every little part...didn't take off the LCD, could but not necessary for what I want to do. Proper tool (aside from me...haha) for the job Wish me luck... Brendan

I never knew what was missing in my life until I held this: It's bigger than my hand LOL @ 9.3" long. My utensils Thanks DJ! Brendan
