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...

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...

Don't you just love headphones. Of course you do, you must do if your visiting Head-Fi. I was out on Friday morning with my Panasonic SL-CT790 and Ety-ER4Ps. I was going commando that day so no amplifier. I was running straight out of the player itself. I had a rummage around the shelf...

Hi guys, I've just treated myself to a new toy. A good condition Tanberg branded Thorens TD150 mk.II I have this thing about turntables and this will be my fifth. Others are a Dual 506, Pioneer Pl-L1000, Rega Planar 3 and a Pro-ject RPM. I had a Thorens TD150 with a Mission arm and...

Hi guys.... I've been absent from Head-Fi quite a bit in recent weeks. Well, i've gotten the bug back for Ham Radio. I used to be into in a big way back in the 90s but somehow it fell by the wayside because of problems with neighbours and my working unsociable hours. When I changed...

Can anybody tell me anything about this band? I'm looking at the new Carters and not the original Carter Family with A.P. / Mother Maybelle etc. Apparently they are a family of about 5-6 and are currently working the Bluegrass festival circuit. They have an album out called...

Has anybody had any experience with this? I'm looking to get some decent cataloging software to keep track of ever burgeoning music collection. Orange CD from http://www.firetongue.com looks really cool but what else should I consider before taking the plunge? Ideally I need software that...

I'm attending a court case tomorrow and will be standing in front of a judge. Im not in trouble or anything but I need to know the following. How do I address the Judge? Is it correct to call him YOUR HONOUR or just simply SIR? Help

For those of you that do not know me, my name is Mick and I am part of the British contingent of Audiophiles here on Head-Fi. I am a long standing member and have frequented Head-Fi since December 2001. Prior to joining the madness that is Head-Fi I had been seriously interested in Hi-Fi since...

I'm hoping that somebody can help me with this..... You all know that i'm the biggest Gram Parsons nut right? Well you do now. Anyway, BBC 6music are doing a feature on him at the moment and have a 1 hour long tribute concet posted on their site here...

This applies mainly for the UK contingency. For those of you that think you are music fans (that should be all of you), you are in for a real treat. BBC Four have produced a documentary about the life of my musical hero, the late great Gram Parsons. It's showing on two night consecutive...

Heres a good one. I don't think we've ever done this before. What famous people come from your town? I know it will be dead easy for those that live in NY, Chicago, London etc but anyway. Here goes. In my town of Hull in East Yorkshire, UK. we have the following people: William...

I've had that question going around in my head over the past few days. What defines Heavy Metal or just Metal? I think we can all agree that it's loud, fast, primarily guitar driven rock. But where does the music cross from being just Rock music to being Heavy Metal? Is there an in-between...

Has anybody else noticed this? Spam in general is on the increase. My ISP was crippled around Xmas/New Year time with spam & virus attacks. However, over the past few months with this year in particular the spam has just gotten unaceptable. Not so much the volume because I filter most of...

Cany anybody tell me anything about how this sounds? The SONY D-E500

I'm sure that you guys will have seen this but just in case.... Sennheiser have released a limited edition of the PX100 fitted with retro looking yellow pads that imitate the old HD414 from the 1970s. Unbeatable.co.uk have these for £19.99 at the moment...

I'm interested in listening to some AC/DC. I've got FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK on vinyl and have just got the remastered CD of HIGH VOLTAGE today. I'm listening to HV now and love it. So where to next? Who else do you recommend that I listen to in this genre?

So what albums do you listen to when you feel the need to crank it to 11? I have a number of faves but I think the following pretty much do it for me...... Queen - News Of The World. On Vinyl of course The opening bass line to We Will Rock You is strong enough to defeat communist...

Guys, you've gotta check out this line http://www.musicplasma.com It's a flash-based relational database that gives you access to data on recording artists. Basically you type in an artist or band name and it works out the influences and influencees and other related bands and put it up on...

Some of you may already know that I had my motorcyle stolen at the weekend. It was a 6 month old Honda 100CC Scooter. It wasn't worth a massive amount of money but it was mine and it was paid for. Thieves came to my house on Friday evening and cut through the two high tensile steel cables...

I finally did it. I got my Headphoneus Supremus title after some 2 years and 3 months of contributing to this great forum. Over that period of time i've gone from having a modest collection of phones comprising just a pair of Beyer DT531s, Stax Lambda Nova and Stax SR001 to now where I...

Let's image in for a moment that you could play any instrument that you want, or sing just like the greats. What band would you most like to play with? For me it would be the Stax Records house band. Or more appropriately, the band that Otis Redding used. It would be that or possibly...

I've seen of these going for pocket money.... http://www.rowtex.co.uk/sony/sony_-_...onal_cd_5.html I was wondering if anybody has got one or has heard this particular machine? It looks a lot like the D190 I already have.

I used my Rega P3 for probably the first time this year. It was sitting on the shelf looking a little neglected so I fired it up and prepared to listen to the dulcet tones of Carly Simon with my K1000s. So as I lifted the arm from the rest and moved it into position for playing, the whole arm...

Why does the iRiver iMP-550 have a variable line out? I was always under the impression that the Headphone out on PCDPs (and all other units) was variable and that the Line-Out was fixed for connection to amplifiers etc. It's no biggie but it's a little puzzling as to why this should be...
