I haven't been around these parts for some time. Popped in few hours ago and I see my profile pic is this:     What are these?    

Anyone here using Helium Music Manager 2009? (Command an army of songs - Helium Music Manager) It's interface sure is pretty. It can use Access, MS SQL Server or MySQL as it's database, which also means HMM on another PC could just point to the database on a server instead of having to...

This is weird. I have an older 74cm SONY TV set. It has several video/audio inputs. I have an LG divx player hooked up to one of the audio/composite feeds and occassionally attempt to feed my iPod video into another, either on the front or or the back. I had a S-video input from the divx player...

So I came home this evening to find my little study/PC-room a little tidier than normal. Problem with that is people don't know what is what, including my newly delivered bestskinsever skin for my ipod. :P The 2 sheets of skins were packed facing each other. Soooo... can I separate them...

So I'm contemplating building a CMOY of some sorts, but would most likely use the AD8620AR opamp I ordered about a week ago. I see it can draw up to 45mA per channel, +-30mA typical according to the DS. I was also reading up on the virtual ground layouts using TLE2426, but they can sink...

Yes, newbie alert. I'm on leave ... it's boring leave. :P I've been thinking of doing a DIY portable amp. Another warning: electronics knowledge is horrendous. I looked at the PINT circuit and the old thread on headwize and it looked simple enough, but seems many have had issues with it. A...

I want to make a LOD and some other cable stuff. I'm looking for Mogami 2893 quad-core cable, but can't seem to find a decent online source through google. Anyone have some pointers of where to buy this cable online? Preferably some place that does international shipping.

I am using a C&C XO amp which is rated for 1000mW per channel, and running a low-ish impedance set of 52 or 54mm drivers in the ATH-A900 headphones. I run the knob on around 1/4 turn. I'm looking for another portable amp now. Thing is, what's the deal with these super-expensive units out...

Anyone find those "3D wings" on the A900 uncomfortable? I think I'm forming 2 bald spots ... I mean, 2 more bald spots ... on my head 'cos these things seem to rip into my hair. It hurts the scalp a bit. I got a haircut today so that's made a difference. I wonder if one could replace them...

Right, so I went to an interview yesterday and, surprise surprise, it was a technical interview. Didn't see it coming thanks to my recruitment agency not giving me any details. Holy crud... I felt pathetic after leaving. I took my current job 2.5 years ago and have struggled to get them to...

I have A900 with the pleather earpads. Are the Clarino earpads from the A1000/A100ti/A900ti really loads more comfortable? The lobes of my ears are heating up a bit after a while and it's a cool night here. I see A1000 pads for $49 and A900ti for $39. Is one clarino and the other real...

'ello! Just wanted to ask a couple of silly questions, being as I'm a n00b around these parts. Have a set of ATH-A900. Can the head loops/bands be ordered as spares? I wanna try sumfing. I'm not talking about the 3D wing things, just the metal loops on the top covered in that plastic...

Me intro. Been lurking here for about 2 weeks now. Thought I'd finally sign up and introduce myself just like others have... with a little cursing subject line. It's on here I found reviews for the headphones I ordered last Thursday and received from Japan today (a mere 4 business days...
