The big news today is Halak's trade to the Blues for Eller and Schultz.   That's a bit of a surprise.  Oh.....and something something about Devil's coaching,....MacClean something about headcoach....but no body cares about the Devils...so......blah blah etc. 

I'm just wondering. It's seems a lot of useful information that's posted in them isn't getting through. There are great stickies in the headphone forum that if folks would take a minute to read them, they'd have their questions answered thoroughly, rather than starting a new thread on a topic...

Hah! You're 50! Happy birthday, Aaron.

So this is headphone gear related, but since there's not really a forum to talk about complete systems, I thought I'd drop this into the members' lounge. I've been lucky in that I've able to own a range of headphones and gear, and have been luckier to have heard a lot more (get to meets...

I loved my ESW9s and really like my ESW10s. After following the couple threads that have been around for awhile on fake ESW9s, I started remembering a thread a year or so ago about bamboo earbuds on ebay that were outrageously cheap compared to the originals. People were buying them up right and...

CanJam LA Must-Hear Lists (What's on your list?) Since the CanJam forum is sadly under-visited, I'm starting this thread here in hopes that some of you slackers that live nearby might see this thread, get yourselves up early on the weekend, and find yourselves with all the gear you...

I’ve thought of writing a thread like this for at least a year, but since I’m home with a cold, and nothing better to do, I thought I’d start it out. It’s meant to provide basic pointers for newbies who might be a little overwhelmed, as many of us were when we first found this site. I tried to...

Happy birthday to you. Break out a bottle of whatever you're liking these days, throw on one of those snazzy shirts, and have a great day!

Dang, for an old guy, you're looking good. Have a great birthday, Al. We'll celebrate at CanJam.

In case any of you artistic types missed the sticky or haven't yet checked into the CanJam '08 forum, here's your chance to win prizes, fame, or just the admiration of everyone attending this year's International Head-fi meet (plus, not a bad thing to drop in a portfolio). Go to it, guys. I know...

Hey, guys! Hoping your birthday is the best!

Some of you may remember my sad post on Easter Sunday when I returned home from work to find my cat had been killed. It really messed me up, and I haven't wanted another pet since. Yesterday at work, this little guy showed up and followed me around (I work at a nine-building residential...

Clue me in, guys. I'm stumped. It seems that every other thread I read is a request for more bass from headphones and amps, and I don't get it, at least not in the way I'm understanding these posts. Don't get me wrong. I like bass. I know some music is better with more bass. I owned Darth...

Hi, hope you get a new fez for your birthday!

Happy Birthday, Simon! Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Happy birthday. I hope it's a good one.

It's Gene's birthday and I'm almost mad at him for not telling us well in advance so that something appropriately obnoxious could be planned. On such short notice, this will have to do: Happy birthday!

Okay, I just bumped into it yet again in the amp forum. A guy posting about gear he's never heard. Does he say that? Nope. Do I know he's never heard it? I'm pretty damn sure, unless by some financial miracle he just got it and forgot to post about it everywhere as he normally would do. In this...

Okie dokie. Here's the deal. Everyone is looking for the best sound possible on a budget that works, be that $50-$20,000, with most of us far closer to the lower numbers. Some people have portable needs, some home needs, and some are looking to combine the two. Though I've seen many posts in...

Every time I check into this forum, I find more and more threads recommending portable amps for headphones like the K701 and the HD650. What? I have not heard every portable amp out there, but I've owned and heard quite a few and currently own a LaRocco PRII, an SR-71 and a Rockhopper mini^3...

You may have tried to hide it from head-fiers on this site, but some of us know you're a year older TODAY!!! Go listen to a few pairs of R10s and enjoy!

About two months ago I starting listening to Persian classical on internet radio, and even though the sound quality is gawd awful, so much of the music just floored me with its beauty, I started writing down the names of works and artists and have picked up a few cds. That's fun, but I'm now...

I was wondering which head-fiers were, like me, still waiting for the Diablo. It's hard to tell on the other site who is posting out of interest vs. who has paid and waiting. If all 50 were actually sold, it would seem most buyers aren't posting at all. With the last round of excuses, bad...

Saw it was your birthday. Now you have an excuse to pick up that amp. Enjoy!

So, I sold a couple items recently, left feedback and received feedback. Today, I noticed for the first time how high the view count is considering the limited transactions I've made: 22/504. I've not even received enough inquires into things I've sold to account for such a high number. I check...
