    Who Is the Greatest NFL Quarterback of All Time?

    I have to say Brett Favre. This as a Vikings fan, I hate the Packers with all of my frozen heart. That said, the man is great because he has put up some of the best numbers of all time without a supporting cast. He never had a Jerry Rice, like Montana or Young. He never had an offensive line...

    Rank the Headphones that You Own.

    K-1000 SA-5000 RS-1 HD-650 W-1000 E4C HF-1 KSC-75 ER-6 I don't currently own *all* of these headphones but I have owned and listened to them all for at least 3-4 months, hope that's long enough to qualify! I don't have the K-1000 anymore despite the fact that it is still my...

    Life without Head-Fi - it's possible! (but that doesn't mean it's fun)

    Life without Head-Fi - it's possible! (but that doesn't mean it's fun)

    Doubt that many people will have missed me as I made a rather hasty and unannounced exit- I decided to join the Air Force and was whirlwinded out of my previous place of residence on short notice. So, after basic training, I was at my technical training for about 9 months, and spent my time...

    U2 and new ipod commercial

    Am I the only one who noticed that Bono is very flat on this commercial? It's seriously painful to my ears.

    Listening to your own setup cures upgraditis?

    Amen. The more you read, the more you buy! Listening keeps you satisfied with what you have. Heck, I survived on a Creative sound card and a pair of HD280 Pro for almost 6 months this way ^_^

    The Black Friday (after Thanksgiving) ads leaked online.

    I picked up that $199 Samsung LCD at BB as well... terrific specs to boot I got the 7" Portable DVD player for $70 as well and it is a disappointment, the LCD on that is so bad it makes DVDs look like someone tried to shove a 2-hour feature into a 200mb divx file.

    I want to try Linux, but...

    I have given up on Linux, it is absolutely user-unfriendly. I had purchased some cheap hardware to build a server with, the idea being- I stuff hard drives with media on them into it, and it allows my windows-based computer access to them over my network. However, what I did not know is that...

    Any chile-heads out there (people that like stuff REALLY spicy)?

    There is a BBQ place nearby with terrific hot sauces, I believe there are 5 grades of sauce- mild, medium, hot, big boy hot, bad boy hot. I've never known anyone (even my hispanic friend who keeps a bag of jabaneros around and eats them like they're grapes) to successfully conquer a plate...

    HD650's for me, I can't live with the L3000's

    From the other side of things, I have come back to the 650 over and over again only to have it disappoint me each time. The presentation, to me, is very jumbled.

    CD3000, and SA5000, what are the differences?

    The CD3000 has more bass and a wider soundstage. The SA5k has more detail. The presentation is similarly dry between the two.
