    Subscriptions don't update in Chrome

    My subscriptions to threads don't update in Chrome. They are stuck at two weeks ago. This is on my PC and my Mac. Safari and Firefox show the updated subscriptions.

    I've messed up my subscriptions

    I am subscribed to a number of threads. Formerly, I would click on "subscriptions" and it would show me all of the threads that had new posts. If I clicked on a thread with new posts, it would take me to the first NEW post. Now it takes me to the first post of the thread. How do I fix it so it...

    Headphone Storage Idea

    I wanted to store my headphones in a way that provided easy access while keeping them out of sight. I have found a method that works great for me and I thought others might benefit from this idea. I bought a few packs of 3M Command Cord Organizers:     and placed them around the mirror...

    Do you use your good IEMs on the go?

    I am very reluctant to use my TF10s or MDTs out and about even though I really like both of them. I gave a pair of TF10s to my 23 year old son and he takes them everywhere he goes. So, do you use your best IEMs as much as you can or do you "save" them for safer places?

    Explain to me how customs provide a seal

    I have never experienced customs but I am intrigued by the thought of re-shelling my TF10. I guess what I don't understand is how a hard acrylic or plastic shell, even one that is molded for my ear, can seal better than a rubber or foam tip. Rubber and foam both expand to form a gasket like...

    Seriously, TF10 owners should try these tips

    I know there are a lot of new TF10 owners due to the Amazon sale. I keep seeing comments about poor or uncomfortable fit, possible custom shells, etc. I think you owe it to yourself to try out these really inexpensive memory foam tips. I have had mine for a couple of weeks now and they are very...

    Are the drivers the same in the Turbine, Turbine Gold and Turbine Copper?

    Are they the same? is it just the material used to make the housing that improves the sound? Just curious.

    Introduce a Middle Aged Man to Hip Hop, House, etc

    I realize I am not the target demographic for urban music but I am curious as a it seems to be quite popular with head-fiers. I grew up in the 60's and came of age in the 70's so that is what I am most familiar with. I have been branching out a bit more and need a little guidance on what to...

    Sony Hyrbrid tips improve just about any IEM

    A little while back I purchased a set of Apple Dual Driver in ear monitors (ADDIEM) from a fellow head-fier. I had a terrible time trying to get a proper seal with the standard tips. I read a suggestion to try the Sony Hybrids and I snagged a set at Best Buy. I put a set on the ADDIEMS and...

    Can't get a good seal with the ADDIEM

    I have tried all 3 sizes of tips and I just can't seem to get seal resulting in poor isolation and no bass. I have read such great things about these and I love the iphone integration. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to get a good seal or alternate ear cushions?

    Let's talk comfort

    Bose gets incredible mileage out of the name "QuietComfort" and regardless of their sonic characteristics, one must give them credit for catering to a need - comfort. Given the number of comfort issues surrounding some highly regarded phones I thought we might discuss some of our favorites that...

    iTunes library refresh?

    I often use audiograbber to rip CD's. When I do, iTunes never shows the new songs. I use a folder structure that is My Music/artist/album/songs. I have incorporated the My Music and all sub-folders into iTunes. Since the new songs don't show up I have to go back and redefine/add the My Music...

    Where does audiophile begin?

    A few months back an offhanded comment - "Well, the Senn MX500 certainly can't be considered audiophile" - made me wonder where hobbyist or enthusiast ends and where audiophile begins. The current "Name the Audiophile headphones you hate" thread has made me wonder again. It occurs to me that the...

    Recommend some beginner classical

    I want to get into classical. I have been listening to the local NPR station which plays classical during the mid-day and evening hours. I like the fullness of the cello and I hate some of the violin screechiness (listening through stock car speakers). I don't think I'll like opera. What are...

    Auto login screwy ?

    I have noticed for a few days now I have to login manually to Head-fi every time I visit. It doesn't matter which computer I use, laptop or desktop, it doesn't hold my login info (cookie problem maybe?). Is this happening to anyone else? Forgive me if this should be in a different forum.

    The forgotten Koss 60ohm headphone

    Years ago I bought the Koss Mac5 headphone. I always thought the sound was great and the comfort is outstanding. It sounds full even at lower volumes. I have sent my pair in twice under the Koss lifetime warranty. They don't have them listed on the web site anymore but they still repair them...

    We need a signal or something

    I was on a flight Friday from Dallas to Chicago and the guy seated across from me had a set of Senn CX300's or MD33's - couldn't tell. Anyway, if I knew for sure he was a head-fier we could have talked about it. We need a signal or something to let others know we are head-fiers.

    Air Travel and IEM's

    I own the Shure E2's and I have a question for those of you who use IEM's while flying. When do you put your IEM's in and how do you keep the altitude changes from creating unbearable ear pressure?

    NJB3 - firewire cable?

    I don't have a firewire card in my PC and I want to buy one for my JB3. I am confused as to the choices. What kind of cable do I need? Is the firewire connection on the JB3 4 pin or 6 pin? Is 6 pin standard on a firewire card? I plan on buying this card from Acortech.com: Creative I/O 4 Ports...
