New Millett Hybrid MiniMAX (what happened to this thread?)
I use my MiniMAX with a pair of uFonken speakers featuring Fostex FF85WK drivers, which are 86 dB efficiency. This works will for me in a near-field setup (sitting at my computer). I had asked TomB about this before I tried it, and he advised me to watch that it didn't get too hot. I have not...- gspence2000

HD 650 headphone plastic driver bubble pressed in?
The same thing has happened to me. Somewhere on Head-Fi I learned the fix: pop off the screens, and blow on the bubble to pop it back out. One quick puff as if you were blowing out a candle. I'm sure I would have made a mess of those things had I not learned of this easy trick.- gspence2000

TomB, what is that object on the right side of the photo? It doesn't look like a MiniMAX--can you tell us a little about it?- gspence2000

Headphones that fit a child?
I ordered the Koss Porta Pros from Amazon this morning for $29.99. Thank you all for helping me figure this out. I'm sure my son will love his new setup. I'm building a cmoy amp using an Altoids tin and will install a volume-limiting resistor so that I can control the maximum volume. I...- gspence2000

Headphones that fit a child?
I plan to hard-wire the phones into a little homemade CMOY amp, and I'll put a resistor in series with the potentiometer so that I can set an upper limit for the volume. I'm pretty careful with my own ears, and I want to make sure he will enjoy his for a lifetime.- gspence2000

Oh, you're going to make this as hard for me as possible, aren't you? My wife would never understand, and I don't know how to get funds into my PayPal account without a paper trail...- gspence2000

Those DT990s look pretty sweet. As a Sennheiser wearer I totally understand how circumaural would be more comfortable. I'd like to keep this under $80 though.- gspence2000

The Koss KSC75 are more in my price range I think! I hadn't considered clip-ons. Are they the best fit for a child's head?- gspence2000

Headphones that fit a child?
I'm looking for a set of headphones for my 5-year old. He's really showing an interest in music and I'd like to encourage him. I thought maybe a used pair of Grado SR-60s would be a good first pair, but when I put my HF-2's on his head they are way too big. My wife tried to fit her iPod...- gspence2000

Joystick-Fi
Your joystick may not be as ideal for MAME as it is for SF4. I put together a joystick for MAME last year: Happ buttons and a Sanwa joystick in a plywood enclosure. It has been great for MAME and NES emulators. This month I got Street Fighter 4 and modified my joystick so that I have six...- gspence2000
