Shure for earphones. I always thought sennheiser were a bit overpriced or over bassy. But still shit on Bose.

Start spending anything north of $200 for anything other than sound cancellation and MP3's dont so the headphones justice.

Shure for microphones

yes but I bought mine for vinyl

Shure for microphones

who needs a Mic? you just plug your headphones in the mic jack

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

I remember plugging microphones into headphone jacks when I was younger...you did get a tiny bit of sound out of them

Hey guys, had some problems with the Evo over the past few days... can I bounce some ideas off you to help diagnose?

2 days ago the head unit (Aftermarket JVC Double Din Touch screen) just went blank and restarted as I was driving home.

1 day ago on my 50 minute drive home it happened 3-4 times, most of the time after I'd been sitting at a set of lights for a while, literally the second I let out of clutch and started moving forwards. So at this point I was thinking "Maybe a loose power connection at the back of the head unit?", but it always started back up immediately by itself.

This morning I was cruising along eastlink at a hundred, Head unit went off like all the times before but when it started up (and was playing the radio just fine), but there was a message on the screen saying "Power off unit". A few seconds after I noticed that the engine gave a shudder and lost power for a split second, a few reds came on the dash (engine shutdown) and then it restarted itself with momentum and being in gear. The Check engine light stayed on until I pulled over, turned the car off and back on. Drove fine with no loss of power for the remaining 20 minutes of the drive.

Head unit went off once more when I was pulling into the carpark at work.

Thoughts?

if I mysteriously go missing from the forums you know the Evo blew up

Son of a bitch, you shouldn't have said that!

first thought

bad earthing?

[Plattsy]

check earths.

remove stereo. look for shorts.

or

mouse has had away at your loom and nibbled some wires that are now shorting out on chassis.

[Odium]

Where though, and why has it popped up only in the past few days?

Engine bay has a full high quality earthing kit which connects about 10 different places together, inc the battery itself.

Think I'll dig up the multimeter here at work and check battery and alternator voltages, though that'd surely show up with the battery light on the dash.

Perhaps an arc from a short made the ECU temporarily confused, or read the CAS wrong, and that caused a misfire or shutdown?

bolts come loose, just start checking connections.

after that check connections and current on alternator

then battery test

def sounds electrical tho

It's an evo, time to sell up bro

You had a good run

Yes, just like Nirvana, it's time to sell the Evo before it gets old and your head unit offs itself

[Leroy Peterson]

Interesting analogy
