  1. I use a Timbuktu bag (small size) that holds everything. Available at Jaben (Adelphi) or any good department store.
  2. Anyone? Make me an offer or it'll go to charity
  3. I would save my money and buy a Hornet or AE-2 if I were you. These IEM's are very sensitive to source quality.

    HD600

    Nice review! You'll notice that most of the issues regarding soundstage and decay will solve themselves after the cans are burned in properly. My own experience is that the 600's place you on the front row while the DT880 let you listen from the middle of the audience. It depends on what you prefer.

    laptop to iqube?

    I just wrote a mini review on the Go Vibe DAC on the "other" forum. You might want to have a look at that.
  6. WTS, my trusty Yamaha surround amplifier. It's imported from The Netherlands and in good condition. Comes with remote and manual. For a review go here: http://www.homecinemachoice.com/reviews/hc...aRX-V393RDS.php Ask for $100 FIRM. Willing to trade for Koss PortaPro or iGrado. Please PM for more details
  7. Hehe, you want to be like this guy? http://www.myspace.com/extreme_tweaking He's notorious for using only ERS paper and Valhalla cable in his system. Try to find his thread at head-fi.org for a laugh.
  8. Go for the Mylar One X3, sold at Jaben. Champagne sound for lemonade price!
  9. I auditioned most available portable amps in Singapore and prefer the Headamp AE-2 over all of them. That's my personal opinion off course. If you really want a holy grail go for the Diablo. There's only a 2 year waiting period and you can sell your blood during that time to pay for it. But seriously, the AE-2 has a more quiet, laid back signature then the Tomahawk, which makes it my preference. If you want more dynamics go for the Tomahawk or the Hornet.
  10. How about ebay, vrforum or hardwareforum?
  11. Sounds like a classified to me.
  12. Maybe you should have a look at headfi.org. Tey're a bit more internationally oriented.
  13. At one time I had 2 pairs of Mylar X3 and one XB and only one had trouble with the left driver. I have the X3i now which I use for gaming and portable video and I've had no trouble at all since then. My wife uses the XBi and is also very happy with them. Anyway, I don't think the Mylars are exceptionally prone to spoilage. Off course you need to treat them well
  14. The Mylars have a new series out which may be a bit better build quality. Anyway, the sound is awesome and the service excellent. If you break your Mylars you get another pair, no questions asked. I.m.h.o. they're the best IEM's for the budget you have.
  15. Isn't it faster to call them and ask? I know Jaben never gives price quotes on their forum.
  16. What your asking is somewhat like asking if Edam cheese tastes better then Brie. Maybe you don't like cheese at all! It's completely up to you to decide if you like one or the other (or both). Go to SE or Jaben, take your time and try all the types with your own setup. UE and Shure both have a distinct personality and sound signature so even if I tell you I like Shures doesn't mean that they are "better". Even price differences don't guarantee quality difference.
  17. If only someone would make a portable version of this thing. It could be better then an iMod. I don't see the advantage of this desktop version over an Xbox 360 or a simple PC.
  18. Having owned UE 5, Sennheiser CX300, Mylar One X3, XB and XBi and currently owning the Shure E500's, not to mention having owned the Sennheiser HD 650 and Allessandro MS-1, I have to say that the Shures are worth the money, although not the money they ask here in Singapore. Try to get them used or buy them from a site in the US.

    Ipod hdd

  20. I don't agree, it makes a significant difference. When I had my LDM+ and UE 5 EB combi, I experimented with different IC's It's amazing how much the sound changes when you use a good IC. I finally decided on the Ultimate Link Afinity because it tamed the bass more then any other IC I tried. With my current combi the Affinity sounds too muffled so I use a Canare homebrew
  21. Aha, I was already wondering what went wrong. Head-fi is still the largest forum I'm posting to. Good luck and get well soon!

    LDM+

    Don't worry, it won't overload. Just charge it for about 4 hours when completely empty. Most of the times I connected my LDM+ at night and took it off in the morning.
