Thanks for all the posts and PMs, but I have made a decision and am closing off this offer.  Wish I had more to give away to the rest, but I don't atm.       Lord Bless and Merry Christmas,   doug p.

After getting and trying my own set of DIY cables I wanted to get a feeler out to see if there was enough interest to justify building two sets of cables as a loaner program open to Head-Fiers. The purpose of this is NOT to see if you can hear the differences between and blindly identify...

After some encouragement form dallan I decided to attempt something crazy: cutting my HD800 cable and soldering in some XLR connectors. I have a soldering iron, solder, and a pair of old ICs with the XLR connectors. I plan on taking the XLR connectors off the cables and soldering them into the...

If anyone has a B22 & S22 that they would be willing to loan out for about two weeks I would greatly appreciate it. I'll pay for the shipping both ways, so it won't cost the owner a penny. I'm really interested in getting one built, but have never heard one and want to make sure it's the...

Found this while cruising around YouTube for some music to listen to. It's Tina Dico, who toured recently with Zero 7, doing an acoustic version of Home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjXCMiLASR0

Has anyone else downloaded the latest iTunes update today? I did, and now it's annoying me. I am importing a bunch of my discs on Apple Lossless, and after iTunes asks if I want to replace the songs I say yes, and it replaces track 1 of the existing disc, then proceeds to place tracks 2 and...

Does anyone have a good explanation as to what criteria was used to designate certain tubes like Amperex into separate categories? I thought that the order went like this Standard - SQ - higher tolerance for microphonics, rarer than standard tubes PQ - highest tolerance for microphonics...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBM9aheYg08 I saw the end of this episode a few nights ago and just kept thinking how incredible his voice still is today. Had to go to half.com and order their remastered greatest hits. From what I hear in this little clip alone Collin Hay could do his own...

I've been struggling with a computer that simply ruined any listening pleasure anywhere within 20 feet of the thing. The fans were making so much noise it was driving me batty. These Panaflos move a lot of air, but make too much noise while doing so. Then, one day I decided to spend the $$ on a...

I just got my main headphone rig out and setup. I decided to use the iPod output off of the Universal Dock to the SinglePower amp. With the volume on the iPod all the way I had to crank the volume on the SinglePower unit to full blast to get any volume at all from it, and it was still too low...

I saw this, and thought I had to pass it on: http://www.brand-incubator.com/

I have a 10-minute presentation for a job interview coming up on Tuesday in which I need to present what is CHIP, Works, and MediCair to a group of people. Since I don't know much about these programs, I'm a bit overwhelmed by the volumes of info available on each. Since I only have 10-minutes...

Last night I went to the local Apple store to buy a new iPod video, 60gb version. Today I stopped by CompUSA to see if they had any, and sure enough, they did. As an employee I got a new one for $352, the Belkin retractable USB cable for $7, (2) year Apple Care for $41, and the AC adapter for...

While I was in the midst of burning a couple of hundred CDs into MP3s for use on the new iPod, I was importing some music when the wife and I heard a loud BANG! from the computer. At first I thought a fan came off, or that a heatsink came off and hit with a thud. It was pretty loud, and somewhat...

I'm working on a review, and find that I really need a second set of HD 650 to do a proper job of it. If anyone can part with a pair of them for about 2 months I would greatly appreciate it. I'd buy another pair used if I could, but the wife and I are saving for a home and she'll kill me if I...

Is anyone having problems importing music into iTunes6? I switched over to importing songs as MP3s at 224 and 256k, and they both keep causing errors that kick me out of iTunes. I never had a single problem in iTunes5 when importing stuff into AAC format, and constantly relaunching and rebooting...

Winner picked! Giveaway ended.

Last Monday, the 11th, Diane and I left Ecuador three weeks earlier than planned due to some serious political issues/problems down there. The protests got so bad on the 6th that we got hit with some tear gas outside our apartment, which was TWO BLOCKS away from the Supreme Court building. We...
