Ouch! That's a bit steep, but thanks for the offer. I was considering the 2.1 control pod idea because it's only $22. I'm actually planning to get a new set of speakers soonish, so right now I just need to get these working properly for as little as possible. Is there a way to just replace the DIN connector? (Even post WD-40, my speakers are still working. *crosses fingers*)

I did try WD-40 and oil on the pots. No go. The DIN connector still seems to be a source of the problem. It must be wiggled in just the right spot in order to avoid buzzing.

My speaker volume control has been acting up for a few years now. Crackles when I adjust the volume, sometimes the left speaker cuts out, requiring me to wiggle the volume control. Sometimes I get buzzing or the left speakers goes out, so I have to unplug the DIN or wiggle it. It's getting worse. I only have 2 speakers hooked up, and it's been this way for years. Can I order a new 2.1 control pod and use that? I tried to add tags, but your forums software fails pretty hard.

Klipsch Image S3. To reiterate, I'm perfectly happy with the bass now, after rotating the tips off of their suggested postions. (You know the lining up the raised marker on the tip with the white line on the actual earbud.)

I found that if I rotate the tips about 90 degrees from the recommended postion, things are much better. I wonder then, if having this recommended position does more harm than good. I've seen quite a few complaints (on other forums) about these buds having no bass. This is probably why. I

I noticed that I was getting almost no bass from these headphones, so I finally sat down and really played with all the tips and positioning of the headphones in the ear. I finally found a position that actually allowed me to hear bass. The problem is that it is an awkward position. A natural position of these headphones in the ear would be for the curvature of the headphones to point downward, or at least mostly so. Unfortunately, the optimal position for me is for the headphones to cure almost straight forward, 90 degrees from their 'natural' position. (given that there's a cord hanging from them. Also, I need some medium tips with flanges. Are these available? And finally, when I bend the cord coming out of the right earbud just a little too much, the sound cuts completely out.
