I have some friends that go to the Philippines a lot and I wouldn't expect more than cheap but fake knockoffs/imitations there. Not exactly my idea of audiophile shopping. And if you do find a legit store, chances are the prices are higher than in the US since they have to import everything all the way out there to the Pacific.

The most convenient and compact is a Pico or (Apogee Duet if you have firewire). Also coming up soon is the Pico DAC, which is straight DAC without the amp. You could feed that to the M^3 for a mean and somewhat compact desktop system. And if I'm not mistaken, playing CDs directly from PC isn't too great because they make lousy transports. Look into a small CDP or rip everything onto something? Dunno what your priorities are, and there's a lot of stuff you could do.

You... don't like Nick Drake?

You need to keep track of the changes at each hour, at the very least.

Wimp.

Yuin PK3 for more bass, OK3 for more clearness but tipped to the upper frequencies. Sennheiser MX460-760 (same driver, different accessories/cord style) for build quality and sexy overall package

Thanks Kabeer. Now time to source some of this magical felt stuff... Feels like archaeology, digging through threads. Good thing there's only really two I need to look at

Don't know if I should say this but... I was able to apply a SAVE40 coupon on the C3 and the $10.99 surge protector even though only one of those is applicable, and it shipped out.

That was really hilarious. My roommate (Star Wars fanatic) loved it.

USB is a different type of "digital" signal.

I think Kimber has a really silly expensive one. Found it, http://www.audioconnect.com/html/kimber_usb_cable.html

Why must you people taint the name of great legends?

If you need relationship advice, just as Aerius.

Sorry to break up the T50RPv2 discussion, but I just got my NAD RP18 AKA T50v2 and I really like the bass, but want more clarity up top. Sounds muffled to me. I haven't opened them up yet and I'm not sure I want to keep them since they just barely reach my ears and comfort's not ideal, but if I can keep this sexy bass and just open up the top end it'd be wonderful.

2,225 now, unpage HighLife.

Buy throwaway screwdriver and krazy glue to the screw? (I can't take responsibility for this completely untested unverified unprofessional idea)

I grew up on GameFAQs so the only thing off topic is a thread started in a nonrelated forum.

This is where you say "fuck the world" and go to LA to form a punk band where you use your musical background to create beautiful yet still punk music.

Victor unveils a new headphone that has DX1000 technology in a more affordable package, estimated to be around 65,000 yen. They mention direct mounting of driver to housing, radiata pine, neodymium driver, acoustic lens, the same stuff from DX1000. Will it be a straight downgrade, or a different tuning?

Nice Pico!

Between my SR-Lambda and K701, it doesn't seem like the ESW10 has a place in home listening.

I dunno if this classifies under OCD but I use it to keep URLs out of my address dropdown bar. That place is like a secondary favorites for me.

I didn't listen to very much new music But... BORIS - SMILE (Japan version... something about the Southern Lord one doesn't work for me) Perfume - GAME (Fine work of pop music)
