what does this mean

i just bought a cowon c9 -- i know it's way better than an ipod but i'm not losing anything in listening to a great pair of headphones on it, am i?

also my sound card sucks, you're saying it makes a big difference? black friday is coming up so i'm gonna prolly go on a shopping spree as i always do. what should i look out for? even when it comes to headphones, i'm down to upgrade again.

what is a usb adapter thing you talked about

i skimmed this htread recently so i'll come back to this when i have more free time and ask questions

The impedance on some headphone will be too high and portable devices will sound way too quiet or just won't be up to its full potential.

As for the usb dac/amps, there are many options of playing music that is transferred to an external device through usb that will properly amp and drive the headphones. The headphone or line out on most computers/laptops will usually have electronic disturbance and in most cases won't be suitable for mid to high end listening. Problem with these amps is that they are not really available in stores and also are pretty stupid expensive.

the well known usb amps are
-Headamp Pico
-RSA predator
-Go-Vibe Petite

basically the TL;DR version is buy one of the above and a nice set of headphones and your music will ****. You will also have spend about a grand.

Good **** Derek. I wondered if anyone else had heard of that game. Apparently it's a real collector's item, and I have myself a copy.

Well Mr. Pokemon Master, I'm going to assume that you've heard the standard Led Zeppelin songs that get the most radio airplay and skip right to the meat. Personally I'm partial to the later stuff, my favorite LZ album is Physical Graffiti.

There are a few songs that you may or may not have depending on the discography that you got. Hopefully the edition of Coda that you have has 12 tracks on it instead of 8, as 2 of those extra tracks are among my favorites: "Travelling Riverside Blues" and "While Summer/Black Mountain Side." Those are from the more bluesy side. "Tea for One" and "Ten Years Gone" are two more of my favorite chill songs.

Now, if you want something that rox ur sox, check out "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," "When the Levee Breaks," "Achilles Last Stand," and for all "Ramble On" is overplayed by radio, it still ***** face.

A few more random ones I like for no particular reason: "The Crunge," "The Rover," "Poor Tom."

Led Zeppelin and Steely Dan eternally compete for the title of my favorite band.

if you have the entire LZ discography why not just go through each album one by one. you can cherry pick songs to start, but that's an ineffective strategy imo.

personally I think I like Led Zeppelin II the most (from front to back just incredibly solid rock n roll), but each of their albums are worth listening to.
