My guess is for the majority clamping isn't really the comfort issue. The foam. The foam.

Yeah, I had them on the HF1s. It's really a comfort and soundstage versus more balanced (for a Grado anyway) sound choice. Things were more distant and blurred (or at least dulled) a bit. In comparison with other phones it's not a crazy difference and I went back and fourth, for usually large chunks of time, but if I did it all over again I'd avoid them. There are of course other mod options, but I'm not sure any avoids a SQ sacrifice. In the end I'd probably suggest a different phone if comfort is an issue.

No ploblem here on 1st gen 16gb Touch. Just out of curiousity you uncoded thru iTunes?

Isn't it obvious?

I dunno. I think critics get a bad rap. Most people find emerging artists through them directly or indirectly. besides the lower worthless depths are mostly filled by at&t customer service reps. -e.c.eummings .

Interested in both these so very curious about your impressions.

As a followup to the last pages discussions, per a suggestion by Salt Peanuts I picked up an Belken AC powered Firewire hub. Unfortunately, this doesn't help us first gen MacBooks owners, as the fan slowly climbs as normal to hold at max. It was worth a try though. Thanks again for the idea SP. Interesting the AC is powering the Duet somewhat as the light comes on on it when plugged into the hub and not the MacBook. However this complicates things further. When then plugging into the MacBook it doesn't 'jumpstart' the Duet. It stays semi-alive (lit up, but not functioning). The Duet must be disconnected/connected between the hub and itself to work normally. On the positive side of things I also picked up a couple of these Sewell Firewire Extenders. For anyone that needs to move the Duet and extend the digital signal to minimize the analog one, these work quite well. Maybe this will help me in situations where I'm not next to the laptop fans. And for those wondering, no I didn't use the latter when testing the former.

Thanks much everyone. Hope you all had a great Xmas.

Have a great one Guillaume!

New shoe tossing Flash game: kast_sko

I know the Core 2 Duos handle temps a bit better than Core Duos, but to put it in perspective - mine when fully cranked at work often causes people to look over the cube wall to see what is going on (assuming I'm watching something funny on YouTube). And that's on top of the environmental noise of the two full-tower server fans running in the cube across the isle. This isn't a minor thing only detectable between tracks. Anyway this is blowing up a bit more than I expected, but I think my experience is far closer to ph0rks than yours (and the only time I experience it besides plugging in the Duet is after watching a few Flash based vids back to back or encoding h.264 - that latter of which I supposed indicates the computer won't fail after running full blast for hours). Then again I don't encode for hours a day every day.

Well, perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid. Thing is I don't actually know what the fans would ideally run at to keep a constant temperature, I only know they climb to max and stay. I suppose I should test at long period of times to see if the temp stabilizes or eventually overheats, but as I mentioned, a concern would also be the fan life-time (and what happens after) running max constantly. Can't say I've ever had a laptop fan go out, but have several desktops. As for the more important noise issue, I agree open phones aren't the target audience though the more problematic nearby recording mic may be. And the fan noise is quite noticeable even with music playing. Not some, played loudly, but it's audible with most music I've listened lately with all my open phones (and what's so bad about wanting a near silent computer for listening? ). Those are my concerns with my setup, but again I'm not hitting Apogee hard on this because few may be in my position. And again I hope this isn't coming off as bitching, just surprised this isn't more reported (besides a few Apple support pages) is all.
