I am looking for a narrow mini (1/8") to standard (1/4") adaptor that will fit my iPhone case. I have a Grado adaptor of this type but the plug is too fat for a flush fit.  Any suggestions before I take a trip down to the local Rat Shack?

Albert Collins - "I Ain't Drunk"   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E78_UCIxv8   I love that line - "I ain't drunk, I'm just drinkin'"   I also love me some Hank Thompson - "Six Pack To Go"   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XoqYgQ-MLM

I have a 500 GB Seagate external HD that I used solely to store music files that were served from a dedicated laptop music server.  I was having some problems with iTunes being unable to find certain tracks.  After the 6th or 7th such incident, I got the bright idea that I would simply re-load...

I have used these:   http://goodcans.com/HeadphoneStore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=36   for years.  They are a good value.  When I travel, I either throw my headphones into a backpack, or clip the bag to a strap.

Quote: Posting such a list would be useful, but maybe not for the reason you intend.    I don't have the technical chops to pick a dog in this fight so I have to determine who has greater credibility.  In addition to the fact that I have been reading about KG designs since starting in...

Quote: Well said mav, esp. the part I bolded above.  That assertion is often taken as a big dis, when it is nothing of the sort, but merely a well-established observation about human nature that goes back to Descartes.  

First of all, 2 posts in 7 years?  You sir are my hero.   Second, there's this:   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/531352/art-headamp4-hd-650-dt-880-ah-d2000

Quote: Thanks Nick.  I have heard reference (from you IIRC) to the Oohashi study before.  As I suspected - nothing new, and nothing definitive.

Quote: 1.  Please post a link to the Japanese study to which you refer.  The crucial question is whether the test subjects had knowledge of the source material which allegedly produced those physiological responses.   2.  IMO you are correct when you point to an unconscious (or...

Quote: Nope, just human.

The self-titled debut is a classic, and stands up well even with silly lyrics.  The rhythm section is tight, and Tom Morello has a unique style.  Sometimes you have to separate a band's music from it's message.  I like Rush despite their infatuation with Ayn Rand and her fascist kitsch.  And I...

Thank you to the obsessive who put this together.  Apologies to those for whom this proves an incredible time suck.   http://www.studiomultitracks.com/

I wonder how much this is a problem with your unit (a "lemon"?), and how much this is a universal problem.  As stated above, praise for this amp is pretty high:   http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-383&vReviewShow=1   (see comments)

Quote:   This has been posted several times already.  Look about 12 posts down in this sub-forum and you will see a thread with the same title.  What I find very amusing is the fact that when this comes up, people ridicule the author by stating something like: "... that article is...
