Hi all,   I've been out of the game for several years - in fact, since the head-fi site redesign.  I used to be seriously into it with a modded Melos SHA Gold, Grado RS1's, etc, etc but for the last few years I've been okay with just my IEM's and DT770's 80 ohm for computer use.   That...

Wow, it's been a while since I've been looking at IEM's. Now that I have a new touch pro 2 with a 3.5mm jack that actually sounds GREAT, I want to upgrade my super.fi pro 5's. Now back when I was into the headphone game, good customs started around $650. I've read some threads here with...

I recently tripped over my headphone cord while it was plugged into my T61, which broke the headphone jack on my laptop. So my question is simple - what's the best sounding expresscard soundcard that will work with windows 7? I will be using it with Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohm headphones...

I'm looking to buy a certain projector and there is a killer deal going on in Canada right now. If anyone lives near the following areas and is willing to buy something at Canada Computers and ship it to me, I will pay $50 USD for your troubles. I will of course pay for the projector and...

Since personal attacks are now allowed on headfi as per this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f11/co...antrum-417257/ I figured I might as well settle this issue once and for all. Should user Cash68 be banned? He has already been banned from his previous four forums. Should we make...

Disclaimer: This is 100% legal in my state (Ohio). I was not speeding in this video (speed limit is 35 as you can see on the sign). In no way am I condoning speeding or reckless driving. I love playing with gadgets and cars, so I bought this mainly for the "James Bond Factor". In my opinion...

Yes, I know this is one of the more famous sonatas, but this is a completely unique performance that I believe deserves a listen. While not completely in the style of mozart (a bit romantic) Pogorelich is so incredibly talented that he just makes it his own. A bit slow for my taste in the first...

Well I have myself in a bit of a predicament here. I modified the stock AM/FM antenna mount in my car to be able to accommodate a CB radio antenna (in terms of coax wiring). I had been using a fiberglass 4ft antenna mounted instead of the AM/FM radio antenna for about a year now, and it works...

The following is a pictorial disclosure of the events that just transpired in my kitchen. After watching the debate, I had an incredible urging for something with high amounts of sugar in it. The only thing that would suffice was an Aunt Jemima coffee cake. Luckily, I had one in my cabinet...

I have a second date this weekend with somebody and I'm undecided as to which concert we should go to. On one hand, there is the Cincinnati Symphony, which is playing the following program with Gautier Capucon as the guest cellist: DVORÁK Symphonic Variations DVORÁK Cello Concerto in B...

I need to send flowers to someone about 1000 miles away. What is the best way to go about doing so? I see there are services out there that offer to ship the flowers, but I would think that getting them delivered from a local florist would be best. I was thinking of using proflowers to find a...

This is strange because some users were having the same problem with the same ad over at hardforums. When I went to take a screenshot of it here, I couldn't get it to come up again, so because I am lazy and don't feel like taking and hosting a screenshot of it at headfi, here is the same ad over...

What are your thoughts on risk or adrenaline addiction? Could be anything from risking your life to just making rash business decisions for the thrill of it... Came across this randomly and was rather uncomfortable reading for some reason http://www.adrenalineaddicts.org/docs/4.pdf I...

For the last year or so I have been using my motorola Q as a GPS navigation system with the program Copilot Live Q Edition by ALK. It has worked tremendously but now the receiver appears to be dead. I've decided to replace it with a stand alone GPS so I can still use my phone while traveling...

Several months ago I got my first CB Radio setup. It's nothing special, but it does the job. It's a Uniden 520XL Pro with a 4ft firestick top loaded antenna. Saved me from a ticket today on the highway when a trucker reported an unmarked state trooper several miles up the road. Anyone else...

I am experiencing some sort of strange behavior lately and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. For the last couple of years or so I honestly can't remember a single moment when I have not had some form of music running through my head. In the last few months it's gotten worse and worse...

As the end of the year approaches, I was thinking about how incredibly indebted to my piano professor for everything he has done for me. He really went above and beyond the call in a number of ways that were difficult and new for the both of us, and it has paid off hugely. I want to get him...

This is a very strange problem. I am living in a dorm, and each room has an air conditioner. It's not a window unit; it goes the entire length of the wall and is metal. It also can do heat. We have individual controls in the room. Anyway, it doesn't work 95% of the time. It just blows out...

In addition to the irritating links on the left, which take up half the screen on a mobile device, the scrolling ads make it literally impossible to browse on a mobile device. Every time the ad cycles to the next one, it causes my page to either scroll up or down. You can't even read a post...

I read a thought provoking quote by one of our most well respected members, cash68, that stated Quote: Techno/electronic dance music is actually pretty similar to classical music in construction, it's use of a chorus, and it's incredible building and crescendo abilities. ] Just...

For those with experience with projectors and home theaters, are modern projectors bright enough to serve as a main TV in a bright room? I know that a couple of years back when I was really into it, there were starting to get there but still weren't quite bright enough. It would save me some...

Well, I am pretty excited as I just signed a lease on my first apartment and will be moving in a couple of months. I didn't have a huge budget, but I think this is pretty nice for the money. I don't have great photos but here is the link from the website Uptown Rental Properties of...

Well there was a screwup with my lease for my apartment next year so now I am looking again. I have a budget of about $1000 a month to work with. Basically my situation is this - I was going to live in University Park Apartments, which are decently nice apartments right on campus. This would...

Tomorrow I am performing in a piano competition and afterwards my studio is being treated to sushi at Aqua in Cincinnati by our professor (who is also famous for his food and wine knowledge, in addition to being one of the top concert pianists out there). I have actually only had Sushi for...

I can get any Oakley model for 40% off MSRP and these really caught my attention: Oakley POLARIZED OAKLEY NANOWIRE Sunglasses - Purchase Oakley eyewear from the online Oakley store I already have a pair of half jackets for sports, so these would be an everyday wear-around-campus pair (some...
