I hate it when a great idea gets stole. Absence of instrumental talent and education in musical theory should not prevent genius from carrying off a brilliant project. Alas!  ...

A blast from the past. Have you had your USDA-recommended daily portion of Youtube Cats today?   "Cats. It does a body good."

I think I've found a solution for my specific problem: getting a mess 'o wav files to load into the 601 LE in a sequence that resembles the explicit ordered file names. I've no mp3 tags and no cue sheets for most of my albums, and the 601 was just shooting them into memory in some unfathomable...

Packman, the sd card goes with the coppery strips up. You might need something thin to push the sd all the way to locking -- just like with many cameras. As for how to get the ordering of tracks accomplished, I'm at a standstill.   Rockbox is not installing: tried both methods. Alpha, if you...

Hey! I have a pressing question for you diehards who have retained your HM-601 LEs. I just got one and am tentatively happy with sound quality.   But I'm having severe difficulties getting the tracks transferred to the device to play in any rational order.   My ancient DAPs have not FLAC...

Big Honkin' Spikes--Uncommonly Cheap   I am not connected with this fellow other than that I bought some of these big spikes in a fit of upgrade-itis.    A few years back, I spent about $75.00 on "crafted" sold brass spikes with floor dimples.  The brass cones are *tiny* and they lifted...

Shipping was especially fast and these arrived today.   I won't make any rash comparisons, but they sound *very* good indeed.  They are closed, so not so airy or spacious as open cans.  Nonetheless, they maintain a bit of air, and they are quite good at separation.  They have luscious mids. ...

--Though I'll remind anyone who's purchased eCost's Platinum membership in the last year that shipping for these will be free.  Of course, no taxes.   Clearance Countdown: Sony Studio Monitor Headphones With 50mm Drivers - Black - MDRV900HD  ...

I used mink oil and dubbin for *many* years.  About five years ago, I got a stunning pair of vintage Italian hiking boots off *bay.  They'd been in somebody's basement for a decade.  I virtually soaked them in mink oil, hoping to restore their suppleness.  The entire top 3mm of the leather just...

I got some HD650s from eCost a few weeks ago, briefly on discount.  They were just fine: came with a box and everything, and were significantly cheaper than any other source on the web. Share and enjoy.  ...

--Not trying to be perverse in resurrecting this thread, but I finished a DIY jumper cable project a couple of hours ago, and I'm inordinately impressed by the results.   I've got some very nice old Aerial Model 7 2 no. driver floorstanders.  (For some sort of reference, see the most recent...
