It would very unlikely that the sound-cut off is due to the gold plating wear & tear. More likely, either the soldering inside IEM or at the plug has become loose. I would think the IEM end more likely as the culprit than the plug end. You can confirm it by keeping the wire at plug end steady...

Usually its your brain thats burning-in, not the IEMs. Testing the Audibility of Break-in Effects | InnerFidelity Not really. Usually Amps are used to give more power, or to change the sound signature. The M2 are a relatively light load, so they don't need a lot of power, and since they have a...

I had bought it offline from Golcha, SP Road, B'lore for 5.8k (excluding VAT) around a year back.

I'm using a Corsair HX620 (Active PFC) with APC RS-1000 UPS, without any issues. While the PowerChute software shows it's max capability as 600 Watts, I wouldn't be too sure. I guess you will need a UPS with >1kW capacity.

Win8 feels like it's solely aimed for tablets & mobiles. Desktop users are getting a raw deal. For those of us with large monitors (17"+), the screenspace will be just wasted with the kiddie Metro UI.

As far as I remember, yes. Once it had crossed over HongKong border, I was able to track it on the Indian side. I can't remember exactly which site I had used (definitely one of the Indian Post's subsidiaries); I think it was either "Speed Post" or "EMS". After the border crossing, it did take...

Do note that you are still in the customs lottery via airmail. Just that Fedex makes it a sure 100% jackpot :P.

The pre-order is ~65 percent the normal retail cost of the B2 :bleh:

At $28, its very much VFM. It'll probably beat the life out of other IEMs retailing at same price, which tend to be muddy wrt bass. And if you don't like them after listening to them, you can always put them in the "Sell or Trade" section. Damn, there's no rhyme & reason to the amount charged...

Yep, looks like it ends today. No friends, relatives, neighbours, workmates with a CC? [REVIEW] Brainwavz M4 The $28 is a pretty tempting price. I couldn't resist after all. After the order confirmation mail, nothing yet. From what I remember of getting my PL-50 from MP4Nation in late 2010...

Interesting price, compensating for the $ appreciation against INR :) Would Fedex, by default, always pay customs on imports? When doing air mail, customs is a roulette game for low value items. Sometimes you're charged and sometimes not. I haven't been charged customs so far with air mail.

The costs of none of the boards mentioned on your site are exactly what a hobbyist could afford. Maybe if one is looking to work professionally, they would be worth the moolah. For hackers and hobbyists, the Raspberry Pi would be much cheaper (when it's available in large quantities). The...

This is my completely personal anecdote, no solid medical evidence to back up the claim. I started having pain in my wrists some years earlier when typing. I researched on alternative keyboard layouts, and moved to Dvorak layout. Dvorak Simplified Keyboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

IIRC, Paypal makes escrow guarantees only for Ebay purchases. Anywhere else, its just another payment processor. But if you linked the Paypal transaction with a CC, then as you mentioned, you could ask for chargeback from the CC. MP4Nation has a decent reputation, so it's not a worry here, but...

Anyone been billed on the CC for their USD transaction? I would like to know the exchange rate that will be used. I have a HDFC VCC, but nothing on their site tells me about the exchange rate being used. Using the VISA site below, I get 1 USD = 58.98 INR with 5 percent fees; but I'm unsure if...

My guess too. Chris Connaker, who write the articles, while well informed, isn't particularly objective, so I'd take it with a grain of salt. NwAvGuy: What We Hear You aren't using the card at all :bleh: One of the popularly converters (Atleast on Headfi) is the M2 HiFace...

Have you tried EQ with the the XBA-3 ? I'm wondering if the bass can be tamed with EQ.

Doing software development isn't the sole option in IT. As fLUX mentioned, testing is a very good alternative. I've had a colleague who shifted from programming to testing, and found it much easier to excel. Because of his programming background, he could easily script/automate things, and...

Interestingly, discussion going on at HFV also on the same device. Audiophile PCI to USB card TLDR version: Very likely snake oil. I'll repeat my thoughts here for the lazy :bleh:

I'll second that, regardless of which language you pick up. Most decent books have some exercises at the end of the chapter. I'd suggest starting with those. Project Euler is a good online challenge Project Euler When I was in college, I thought I knew C pretty well. Once I started working...
