Sorry, if you were an "audiophile" and you listened to some of the competition, you wouldn't have gotten an iPod. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard.
Have you tried another set of cans to see if they exhibit the same problems? If it turns out to be the headphones and the they are under $100 or so it's not worth fixing generally (unless your into DIY).
You for sure need to do some more research to make sure it's a good fit as a replacement driver. There's lot's of resouces out there with info on this. I did a quick search and found The Subwoofer DIY Page. But there's alot more to replacing a driver than matching the power handling and size...
I second the vote for an iAudio X5. Better SQ, more features, format support and cheaper than an equivalent iPod. iPods are way overpriced for what you get imo.
You can't just pop in another driver in an enclosure and have it sound good. There's alot of factors to consider. Trust me, you don't want to go there.
Well consider the iAudio 5XL that I have is rated up to 35 hours playback time it still destroys most DAPs in the market for battery life and then some.
And FYI a firmware update will provide ID3 browsing AND viewing by file structure very soon. But until then nope.
I'm a Grado fan, but I'd never use them for gaming. You do alot better with some closed Sennheiser or something like an Audio-Techinia A900. I agree with ya there.
I have a Colorvision Spyder Plus since I do alot a photo work and it's crucial that my output matches what I do on screen. It's a little pricey (approx $280 since it does printer color calibration as well). You can get a screen only basic hardware version for under 100 if you need TRUE color...
All laptop lockdown devices can be defeated super easy. Only ones that might help are the ones with alarms in case something is moved etc. alot like a car alarm.
If your college is that bad, maybe you should reconsider :)
LCD's are alot better for eye strain than CRT this is FACT. Google it and you will find alot of info on this. Just because you have a high refresh rate don't mean squat. Sooner or later you will pay the price, trust me.
It's one of the best of the low budget cards for music listening out there. You just know how to set it up to take advantage of it which is super easy and takes 5 min.
All this over someone that's complaining over approx $10 of shipping charges on a piece of hardware that he admits he OC'd.
Like I tell friends that play the market, if you can't afford to lose it, don't play... Ya, your not [H]ard like you think.
Just file a compliant with your CC company and have it charged back. I've done it a couple of times with crappy companies like this. Never had one problem getting my money back. That's why I always charge everything in case someone tries to rip me off.
Your not taking anyone to court over...
People keep missing the point, high end system does not equal an AGP system anymore, it's being proven by nVidia and OEMs. If it was, you'd be able to buy a AGP 7800 right now.or a buy a top level AGP system from the likes of Dell etc. That's why AGP is dying quickly. You want to play with...
Get over it. If AGP was worth it business-wise it'd be there period. It's all about $$$$. High end setups use PCIe. End of story, sheesh. It doesn't frickin matter if ISA could handle a 7800 GTX, they DON"T MAKE IT for good reason.
If I hear one more person say "Wow AGP can handle XXXX...
Anyone out there running this beast? I was thinking of grabbing one and slapping a 120mm X 120mm x 38mm fan on it. I sent Scythe an email asking if it could handle the 38mm depth days ago, no reply. Anyone know if it can handle it with provided mounting hardware?
