| Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears? Worse in the morning. It got worse during a period where I neglected my exercise program. I've found that by keeping cholesterol low and by getting 4 or 5 hours a week of cardio, it is nearly gone.Yet another great reason to stay healty | |

| Shanling CDT-100 Great or Bad ? I'm extremely happy with my CDT200. I intend to send it off for modification this winter. Several things that I've noticed in the 3 months that I've had it. Break-in is subtle and requires some time - mine has about 60 hours on it now. The high en... | |

| Electrocompaniet EMC1 vs. Shanling T200 Lvl 1 Mod The early 200s apparently have a microprocessor flaw which Music Hall will repair if your friend will contact them. | |
| Jeff gets goosebumps from a Shanling, thanks Toby "according to Toby is somewhat average with Redbook" Not according to those who have listened to the 200. It is apparently as good as the 100 if not better on Redbooks.We'll see next week. | |
