Is this better than the Marpac Dohm-DS Dual Speed Sound Conditioner? (it's currently the #1 best seller in sound machines on amazon). Why yes/Why no?

I do not feel the Marpac comes close. I have worked in the medical field some 25 years. The Marpac is used for exam room privacy as well as in therapists offices. The variable sound and speed on the Lectrofan is what convinced me. The Marpac is fine for quieting conversation, to a certain extent. I am a very light sleeper, and since having the Lectrofan, I have raised and lowered the volume based upon what is going on outside my house and in other rooms of my home. I am still just as pleased with the product as I was when I removed it from the box the first night I tried it! I found the sound more realistic and tolerable.

I purchased this sound machine to use in a small bedroom. We use the box fan sound and with the volume on low and it promotes sound sleep all night long. The sounds are true, realistic sounds.

I own both and greatly prefer the Lectrofan (I've bought my second one to replace the Marpac).As other reviewers have noted, you cannot adjust the volume of the Marpac which I find annoying. As a result, regardless of the activities occurring in the room, you will still have a loud "whooshing" sounds that will dominate the airways. With the LectroFan, you can lower the volume to have it quietly drown out unwanted sounds (the bass from my upstairs neighbor, in my case). Moreover, the Lectofan is far more discrete and aesthetically pleasing. In fact, you can hide it completely if you really wanted. Highly recommend getting the LF as my Marpac will be hitting the closet as a relic for future generations.

This the first white noise machine I have bought. I do not like nature sounds. I only like either the fan or white noise. Both are perfect. Amazingly loud if you turn it up. I love this machine.

It is a case of personal preference, I think. The difference to us is that the Lectro has a more of a true fan sound which is a base sound while the Marpac is a higher pitch tenor. We have a two storey home and use the Marpac in the upper hallway between the bedrooms to mask sound from the stairway and movement downstairs while someone is sleeping. The Lectro is used in our bedroom as a "white noise" machine and is the one we pack into our suitcase for trips. MAC

Yes, in my opinion, it's head and shoulders above the Marpac. I bought the Marpac from Bed Bath & Beyond and ended up returning it after I bought the Lectrofan. The Lectrofan is much louder and has a wide variety of sounds.
1992176
The Marpac is the better seller because it's been around longer and is established. I own both and the LectroFan is much better because it is versatile and (most important to me) you can adjust the deepness of the pitch. On top of that, you have ten steps of volume from very low to very loud (the Marpac is somewhere in the middle and only has high to higher pitch).
1992177
Much better. There are many more options, and a much steadier sound because it's digital, and the Marpac is an actual fan.

Personally I do not like the Dyna with a bass. The Dyna is geared towards thinner strings at a higher octave than a bass. What will happen when you run this particular compressor with a bass is that you will over compress and your notes will become very "muddled"; loosing tone and a rich bottom end. MXR has a series for bass. I would look at that rather than the Dyna. Bass compressors tend to compress less thus allowing your natural tone to come through and leveling out the volume of string slaps and such.

After I installed the EQ, I did a sweep and found a wicked peak @ 80 Hz. The EQ flattened it out like a steam iron. I would advise sweeping first, then you have a better idea what you need (if anything) to correct your acoustics. I could have used much simpler equipment for EQ. Had to make a cover to hide the gaudy front panel.

Fostex was the very first company to introduce portable headphone dac and after reading reviews on Head-fi.org i was tempted to buy one. I am glad i didChoose Hp-p1 as it was a best sounding portable amp. Today we have better choices as other brands are introducing better amps. Also all fostex units are japan made with highest quality, i would wait for hp-v1 tube amp comming up later this year.if you want hifi music player + dual dac, you can check Astell&kern; AK120. I just bought one from korea and it is awsome.

I am questioning this purchase. My son uses it for vocals. It used to sound better but now it is all Bass. I suspect the high frequency driver is blown and am in the process of replacing ($80).Does it produce quality high frequencies at all? If not, may be the same issue.

I guess you mean M-80 vs M-100. M-80 has more of a overall balanced sound signature, perfect for almost everything, be it classical music or dub step. M-100 is more bass heavy and has been deemed more suitable for similar music, although people who have already dished out $300 for the M-100 would disagree.I own M80 and I've listened to M-100. I would recommend M-80 but for around $90 if you are vigilant and keep an eye out for "As New" on Amazon Warehouse Deals. That's where I found mine two years back, literally brand new for $113.

Dear Mr. Lee:I decided to go up a notch to a Technic 1200 turntable.What are these other items; are they replacement items I can buy later? What function do they do?Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge Also, a friend gave me a pair of bose $300 speakers for my PC. I think I want to pair this Technic turnable with a bigger Bose system, suggestion here?

No.....it's a sound machine.....like ocean wave etc......the sounds are great......the cheaper one sound like a very short repeating loop that gets very irritating very fast.....this one is really good and you can mix sounds......it's pricey compared to department store ones but it sounds really good

I'm not familiar with Behringer myself, but I've owned two M-Audio Interfaces: an earlier model which I gave to a friend (still working today) and then this M-Track2 Model. The quality in both product and recording is unsurpassable in the price range. M-Audio makes a solid product that is easy to use and (in my opinion) a very professional looking piece of equipment. I used Audacity, the M-Track2, and the MXL 770 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, to record some vocals and then imported the files into FL Studio. Without any effects or touch ups, the vocals came out clean, thick, and crisp. I use a pop filter too, but regardless, I love M-Audio products. Hope this helps some? Lol I go on rants and don't know if I actually say anything useful.

I haven't tried the Sennheisers but I do know that the Bose SoundTrues work very well with my classical music, both orchestral and opera. There is a bias toward rich lows and mids in the Bose, and that works well with this type of music. However, after returning my first pair because I thought there was too much bass, I was told about the 23 EQ settings in my iTunes Library. For the last 5 years, mine has been set to "Flat". Well, I bought another pair, put the EQ setting on "treble booster" and found it absolutely perfect. Not only did it maintain the deep lows but the tenor voices and soprano voices were beautiful. I suggest you try a pair, experiment with your EQ if you want (though a lot of people just like the sound of the SoundTrues right out of the box) and if you don't like them, most retailers (including Bose.com) will allow you to return them within 30 days or so. I think even if you enhanced the bass on these ("bass booster" setting) you find they are not as thumpity-bumpity boomy bass like Beats. Over half the people I know own Beats because they prefer bass over everything, but that is not what music is all about. Bose is balanced across the full sound spectrum. There is also a "classical" EQ setting in iTunes which makes these Bose bring out a nice richness for that type of music.

I've been trying to use iMic and that Equalizer filter doesn't work. There is a hum throughout all my digital recordings. I tried to purchase the turntable grounding cable from Griffin online but it has been discontinued! I'm trying to find a grounding cable, hoping that this will solve my problem.Maria

The frequency response seems to be on the flat side with out too much colorization, Lows are deep with out being muddy, and highs are clear and bright with out being harsh, the only lacking part for me was the midrange was a little laid back, and often you will see this in Monitor headphones and speakers, my reference sound comes from my Magnepan speakers with a Carver Lightstar amp, giving me what my head calls normal (yours may very)  ....what signature sound I am looking for in headphones may come easily with a headphone amp as I use these on my computer and am going to buy the Audioengine D1To get a better performance from and should make these headphone much more to my liking - I hope that helps.

I never compared it to a Bic F12, I have to a Polk Audio PSW110 though and the Yamaha kicks it's butt! I'm just going off my own experience with mine. I've owned it now for almost 3 years and I have never had a single issue with it and I've used it hard for everything from movies, digital music, car audio (used it as a subwoofer in my 08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT utilizing the power inverter) and for use on my electronic drum set. I don't know if it's because it's a downward facing sub or what, but the Yamaha SW315 fills the room with deep thumping bass. I love it! It was given to me as a Christmas gift from my brother and it continues to be one of the best gifts I ever got. I'd be lost without it.

Coincidentally, my local music store had a headphone testing/"sale"(10%, covered tax lol) over the weekend. I own the anniversary ed and , although i was there to pick up my guitar cabinet, I tried out the white K702, along with other headphones. The amplifier used was a different form factor than my own(they had a solid state and i use tube), but the noticeable differences, regardless, where bass and comfort. the Annies performed better in these areas.

DSP version has studio monitor emulation feature for headphone mixing, which is pretty cool. This is the version I have. Apart from that, they are exactly the same. I'd say get DSP. No reason to pay more for less. Looks like this one is sold through Proaudiostar, and the other is direct through amazon. Different sellers would account for different pricing, probably.
