So, a lot of stuff has been going down in my life but at one point or another I've spent too much on headphone gear. I'm moving to the Bay Area (is the annual bay area thing done?) and might be doing some sound work. My new girlfriend is into headphones so I'm just here to say hey and see what...

The significant purchases thread was kinda turning into Comic Book hour so I thought I'd give this thread another shot. I recently rediscovered my love for comic books, and it seems my partner has, too. I picked up a few to kickstart my collection again and the gem so far is Daredevil 131...

While I realize my iPhone isn't the best instrument to measure this with...according to it I listen between 80 and 90db. This is about what I expected. I bet it gets around 96 if I'm really rockin'.   Not really sure what to think of that. I've developed tinnitus recently, but strangely...

Every time I click a photo in a thread it either crashes my browser or gives me the option to 'stop the script'. It's been going on for awhile now. It's even slowed my computer to a crawl sometimes.    Safari will just slow down and crash either the computer or the browser. Firefox will give...

http://music.broadwayworld.com/article/WB-Records-Announce-Vinyl-Releases-for-National-Record-Store-Day-420-20130301   Bam. Enjoy. Lots in there I'll be picking up.

Saw this beauty at my dealer today. A new addition since my last visit a week or so ago.  The carrot orange caught my eye. :)  Build quality is great and judging from my experience with Line Magnetic so far I'd bet it sounds pretty good.  I know I'll eventually end up with another DAC even...

I just thought I'd share this with you guys here at Head-fi. I've talked about how good the 2012 remaster of PG's 'So' is, but I never realized something about it until today.    I bought the box set over the holidays. It comes with CDs, DVDs, LPs, and a 24/48 download of the new master...

FIRST OF ALL. I swear to god if I hear any "you just got it" (its) I'm going to flip.   Secondly this is just an interest check at the moment to see if anyone would like to purchase the system as a whole.   Here's my dilemma...The (almost) wife is getting extremely frustrated with a few...

So I thought this would be fun.   Thinking about making a big purchase you don't necessarily need? Just post about it right here. We'll help you out.   For instance.   OH GOD PLEASE STOP ME I'M ABOUT TO BUY THE BEATLES VINYL BOX SET. I have a 15% off coupon and can get it locally for...

So I've finally found a way to get the girlfriend into equipment...make it purple.    I like purple, it's one of my favorite colors. She loves it. Looking to do something like this...   http://www.zuaudio.com/#omen-standard-loudspeaker.php on the Zu Union.   I'm now on the quest to...

I've had a few people ask for impressions after posting some pictures of a mini meet I had with a few guys yesterday.          Cans: Fostex TH900, Stax SR-009, Senn. HD800, HifiMan HE-6, HiFiman HE-500 Amps: Cavalli Liquid Glass, Cavalli Liquid Fire, Cavalli Liquid Lightning...

Alright guys the time has come. Now that we've gotten both of Nick's great meets behind us it's time to plan for the next Austin meet next spring. Earlier this year we had a good space but I have a feeling we're actually going to need a much larger space this year. The Texas Head-fier list has...

So...Lots of little updates today.    New iMacs everyone has been waiting for. Look nice, but I'd say they're going to take up the same amount of space.    iPad Mini. I honestly think it'll make a better remote than a full sized iPad...and considering that's all I'd use it for...we'll...

For starters, I want something small. Probably going to pair it with a tiny monitor as well, but that's beside the point.   The last time I built a PC I waited until the first i7s hit the market and bought one on day one. It's been awhile and I'm needing to know what I've missed out on...

How do people feel about this subject? While I realize it's a bit of a sore subject I realized tonight that 2 of my favorite songs by The Who were done after Keith Moon died.    You Better Bet, and Eminence Front. Both fantastic songs, IMO. 

So I'm looking for a device that will allow me to stream internet radio and control it with an iDevice (iPhone 5 and later an iPad).    There are tons of devices that do a lot of stuff I don't need, but I'm only considering internet radio (mainly to listen to BBC Radio at home). My main...

So recently when demoing the SR009s in my home I was going through my CD collection and just trying different things and I stumbled upon something that blew my mind. When I put in my Beatles Blue Collection (2010 Master, unfortunately) and listened to 'Hey Jude' I was hearing absolutely the most...

http://www.zuaudio.com/#union-1a-loudspeaker.php   Please for the love of god listen to these and post impressions. If they're positive I'll probably buy a pair next year (hopefully my local dealer will get them so I can hear them, too).

Figured I'd start this thread just to see what other people are excited about release wise for the last few months of the year. We've had a lot of good drop already, but I think there's more coming.   Stuff I want to hear:   Feed Me's New Album (Little Cat Steps is better than pretty...

So I've done plenty of international business via PayPal, but nothing quite to the point I'm considering at this moment.    I'm mainly wondering what the best way to receive a payment would be (~$3,000) and which would overall give the buyer the least amount of fees.   Is anyone in...

There's a few people that've been proposing a small meet to hear a few of the locals guys cans and amps. Anyone interested?   I'd host it at my apartment and I'd say that'd be 10 people absolute max. Plus with Nick planning another Dallas meet in a month or two and the big annual meet coming...

Been a Cambridge fan for awhile mainly based on their cheap price/performance phono pres but I wrote a check a few days ago for the new 851C unit.    http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/summary.php?PID=889&Title=Azur+851C+Upsampling+DAC%2C+CD+Player+and+Digital+Pre-amplifier   24/192 DAC (from...

I really like my current Calyx DAC but with the way my system is expanding and changing I think the 903 would be a better fit.    I'd rather not have to buy one to hear it, and I don't want to sell/trade my Calyx until I hear it.    Basically, I'm wondering if there's anyone around Texas...

Just going to keep writing down some impressions each day for the next week or so for anyone interested in these speakers.   -----   4/7: For one, they got here fast. Shipping was free (per the usual Emotiva purchase) and they got here in 2 days. From Tennessee to Texas. They weight 25...

Thought it might be fun to just have a big Blizzard general thread. I personally can't say I've played a bad game by Blizzard. Been a long time fan across all their franchises.   I played WoW from beta until earlier Cataclysm. Took a break for the WOTLK period, but other than that WoW was my...
