Apparently someone mentioned my headphone collection to Steve recently, and he immediately became interested in learning more about what might possess someone to become such a headphone nut.  We arranged a time to have a chat, and had quite a long chat at that.  We covered many aspects of the...

No doubt it was nothing more than a minor aftershock from the real deal in Haiti. It lasted all of 2 seconds at most, and didn't do a bit of harm, but the earth definitely rumbled a bit. The last one here was on December 14, 2004 (per Google) which measured 6.8 and was out at sea by 20 miles...

Has anyone else had this issue? Ok, so it's 2:30am and I'm shirtless, about ready for bed, but for some reason just can't get Charlie Haden out of my head. Don't know how he got in there, but I need to grab one of his albums and give it a spin before I hit the hay. So I reach for my trusty...

See here: American Airlines Flight Crashes at Jamaica Airport - The Americas - FOXNews.com I'm talking to my girlfriend on Skype right now. A good friend of hers was on the flight and has suffered a broken arm and severe whiplash. My first call for legal advice. I'm sure there will be more...

This thread was inspired by the "What makes you unique? (Brag about yourself)" thread, which is one of the coolest thread titles ever, by the way: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f11/wh...urself-425158/, so cool in fact that I thought I'd spell it out for you just in case our software messed it up...

I'm not sure what kind they are, but they sure are annoying! They've been pecking away at my house, and have been doing so for some time now, according to my house sitter who was here in Cayman all of April while I was away. But to tell you the truth, I don't really care what kind they are...

See here: Rock Vets Remember 'The Day The Music Died' and here: The Day the Music Died - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I thought about starting this thread with some comments about their music and their influence, but words don't ever do justice in situations like this. Suffice it to say...

I mean, not really. Don't get me wrong. I'm as excited about it as anyone else is, and can't wait to actually hear a pair of HD800's myself. But I've put my preorder in, and, well... that's about all I can do about it at this point. It was great to read the initial impressions and it has been...

A place where you can go and say, "You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man. Nobody calls me Lebowski," and people will know what you're talking about. https://lebowskifest.com/forum/default.asp

Do you have time for a quick story? When I was in junior high, my paternal grandfather was living with us in the basement bedroom, and had been for a couple of years. Although his health was deteriorating quickly and he needed constant care, he never lost his dry sense of humor. After all, he...

This guy is a friend of mine... Caption This: Darth Vader Trades In Star Destroyer For Ariel Atom ...and I thought my Head-Fi friends were nuts! He's always coming up with something new. He's got yellow body panels for his Atom and a chicken suit as well. He lives in Southern...

For all of you old timers, this is an excellent sampler box set with some interesting alternative takes of album tracks as well as some previously unreleased material. It has been around for a long time, so the only "news" here is that Amazon has it on sale (4 CD box set, nicely packaged) for...

Enjoy the annual celebration of one more year of life! Drink it up.

My excuse is that Grand Cayman was about to be clobbered by Hurricane Paloma. Thankfully, it missed us, but not by much. But more seriously, I don't generally start birthday threads (although maybe I ought to), so chances are I would have missed it anyway. That doesn't mean that your...

Just when you think that hurricane season is over, along comes that last storm of the season, and it's heading right at you! Urgh! It now has a name, Tropical Storm Paloma, and is expected to be an intensifying Level 1 hurricane when it gets here on Saturday: Tropical Storm: Tracking Map...

Interesting idea. It's being compared to the iPod, only for reading (books, newspapers, magazines, etc.) rather than listening to music. Lightweight (10.3 ounces) and completely wireless, easy to use, but expensive. I did say it's being compared to the iPod, didn't I? See here...

The reason I ask is that I love that general part of the country (all of the West, really), and spent quite a bit of time in Idaho this past summer. Unfortunately for me, I packed light in the headphone department (in favor of photography and videography gear). In any case, I'm hoping to...

I'm not a big T-shirts kind of guy, but occasionally I'll see something I like and just can't help myself. Here are a couple that I ordered tonight: Funny T-Shirts and Cool Tshirts from PrankPlace.com Funny T-Shirts and Cool Tshirts from PrankPlace.com You know, just stuff that tickles...

One of the drawbacks of living in the Caribbean (besides the high cost of living and no decent roads to drive fast on) is hurricane season! The Cayman Islands got clobbered hard (Cat 5) by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. We're talking $5 billion of damage in Grand Cayman, an Island with only...

Man oh man, I had hoped this day would never come, but maybe someone can help me out! I just got back to Cayman the other day for a brief pit stop (will be leaving here on Thursday morning again), and decided to give the Orpheus a quick listen. While I was gone, I had unplugged my entire...

My goodness, how times have changed: AudiogoN ForSale: Sennheiser he90 / hev90 The other Sennheiser Orpheus system that he refers to having sold on Audiogon was sold to me several years ago. Of course, back then, he didn't seem so aware of what it was worth. My price was $8k for the HE90...

Ok, so I'm idle again. My mind just wandered to the numbers game. It wasn't hard to find the old threads. See below for reference (if you're really bored) after reading a little further (but please post in this thread rather than reviving those dusty jewels)...
