I'm still about. Large as life and still twice as ugly, perhaps even more terrifying than ever Been busy with work more than anything else. Changed my occupation since last time. I'm now a door supervisor / bouncer so i've been working a lot of nights. I'm no longer involved with the...

Who needs to be cool ?

I've got it in both ears. The right ear is loud and very noticeable at all times whils the left is not quite as bad but would would still be noticeable at all times. Mine wasn't caused by listening to music though. Rather, it was through a particularly bad bout of the Flu a few years back...

Just checking in guys. Wow, there are lots of new names here and some that I remember from a while back. I think it's been a good couple of years if not longer since I last visited here. Anyway, if any of the more established members still remember me drop me a line. Sound as always...

Just love mine. I've had the HD580's since 2001 and they have since become a firm favourite. I tend to use them in my bedroom with an old Pioneer SA508 amplifier from 1979 and a 1965 Thorens TD150 w/SME 3009 / Shure M97xE. Sure they have their foibles but what set of cans can be said to...

Wow.... long time no post. Been a while since I last visited here. Anyway the K1000s are an awesome headphone / earspeaker combination. It would be folly to try and drive these from a headphone amplifier because they just don't have enough output to drive them efficiently. The K1000's...

That's not a crab. You should get a pair of Alaskan King Crabs. Now there's a crab for you. Only if you got a pair of those you would need a tank 8x the size of the one you have now

I don't currently have a tattoo but I've recently given consideration to getting one. I thought of this. Getting the international First Aid sign of the Snake (Venom) and the Staff (antidote), tattooed on my upper arm and then getting a tattoo to go right around the other part of the upper...

I used to be KeVlaR way back when I first joined Head-Fi (only around 100 members then!) and used that Username for ages. Then.... I was threatened with legal action by the Nazi's that owned the copyright to that name and I promptly had to change it. So it got changed to Trawlerman because...

Vinyl boys... vinyl... and it rocks! Spinning today are: Fats Waller - The Collection George Jones & Melba Montgomery - We Must Have Been Out Of Out Minds New Grass Revival - Hold To A Dream Manhattan Transfer - Manhattan Transfer Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture - Mercury Olympia relase in...

Yeah, it's weird but hey.... what that fella does behind closed doors is upto him. There's no law against being a bit kinky that I know of. Hmmm.... come to think about it some people must think us perhaps just a touch weird with our endless lusting for new 'phones and shiny new cd players...

Hey fellas, Can anybody tell me anything about this? I'm looking at getting one from the 'Bay for a play about with. I just love the FM band but feel that all these digital-synth tuners seem to be lacking a certain something in their sound. I've decided to have a go with an all...

This is a great thread guys. I've been reading it with great interest. It's refreshing to see people talk with such love for a seemingly bygone format. Fred's comments about the Marvin Gaye reel sounding better than the recent SACD release will surely have some people rolling in the aisles...

1974. Most of these were relased in this year, if not they were certainly in the top 10 of that year. Johnny Cash - John R. Cash Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping Queen - Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack Aerosmith - Get Your Wings Tom Waits - The Heart Of Saturday Night Bryan Ferry -...

The start of "Bad To The Bone" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers. You know which one I mean. It's used in the Terminator II film when Arnie is in the bikers bar. Classic stuff. Another one. Perhaps not a riff, but excellent all the same. The start of WE WILL ROCK YOU by...

Sod Arsenal and 'The Scum'. Hull City are almost certainly going to be promoted fromt he 3rd division this season. Come on you Tigers! Oh yes, and just for giggles, Grimsby Town are going down from the 2nd and York City will be joining the conference along with Leeds United!

All the best Paul. Enjoy your day or certainly what remains of it. Don't get too much of the old Blue Star down 'yer neck..... Save some for me!

erm.... Lunch anybody ? Nah, we call 'em Submarine Sandwiches or Baguettes like Mike pointed out. Now our breakfast sanwiches in this area. Bacon, Eggs, Sausages or whatever are called BANJO's. Or they are at least called that on the fish docks. It's funny though. Stray too far...

Sugden Headmaser for home use. Headsave META42 Transit for portable and/or Headroom Airhead "Original" I also have a CMOY board that I intend building up when I get around to picking up some decent capacitors for it. My local electronics store don't seem to know what capacitors are !
