Looking for power cables and interconencts on a budget?
Recently I've been looking for some quality power cables without the idiotic audiophile tax included in the price and came across an ad from Patrick Cullen (of Cullen Circuits) on Audiogon. The prices seemed pretty decent so I sent him an email asking a few questions. He was very informative...- Thaddy

The HD650's are missing something, what headphones will fill the gap?
I used to own HD650's a few years ago and had always found them to be "perfect" for me. The sound signature they offered up was exactly what I preferred. However, recently I purchased a newer pair and have found that they seem to be lacking a bit of the lower end punch that I recall. I can't...- Thaddy

Howdy ya'll...
Wow, it's been a while since I've visited Head-Fi, I guess this place is still around. What's new around here? Did Sennheiser ever release those HD700's? I guess I've got some reading to do before I start buying stuff again.- Thaddy

Besides the T-Amp, any other cheap 2-channel amps?
Sure, the T-Amps are great (for the price), but are there any competitors in the sub-$100 category? This will be used with my computer and Paradigm Atoms, and I'll probably use the Millett as a preamp. I guess my other option would be to get a T-Amp modded, but hey, a few more options can't hurt- Thaddy

Small playlist problem with Foobar
Ok, so I recently did a fresh reinstall of Win2K on my main HDD, while leaving my drive dedicated to music alone (of course). However, prior to the reinstallation, my music drive was designated as drive F:\, and now it's drive D:\, so you can probably see where the problem lies. The path my...- Thaddy
