Long story short, I had enough in gift cards and Reward Zone dollars to get me a pair of Shure SE210's from Best Buy. I love the fit of these things, they are awesome. I was also thinking about getting the MPA adapter for use with my iPhone (but I generally use them with my 5th gen iPod Video)...

I was trying to sell my Rolex Sea Dweller (Its sold, sorry guys). I tried the TimeZone forums, but no bites. I don't have any friends that can afford it, so eBay was my next bet. I put it up for sale, made the price slightly higher than what it should be, and allow people to shoot me offers...

Whether it is on the phone or in person, what do you do? I had an encounter with a real ****** today and he got me fired up, a very hard task if you knew me. He called wanted to speak to the manager, I told him that the manager was on the other line and if I can get his name and what this...

Gonna try and make this short. Parents own a small Hotel (60 rooms). 10 rooms are smoking, down from 12 last year, which was down from 14 the year before. Basically, every year the smoking rooms get less and less. We were thinking about just having a hand full of smoking rooms starting this...

Just wondering which hand you guys wear your watch. I wear on the left, but my other watch wearing friends use their right.

Been in Vegas since Wednesday the 10th, and was supposed to be home yesterday, but due to bad weather in Oklahoma, I am unable to return until tomorrow. Long story short, I once a ton of money and bought the watch I have been wanting for a while: I might be coming to Vegas more often now

Kind of a long story, need to vent, but suggestions are welcome. Some friends and I are (thats still the case) going to Vegas in January for the CES show and just hanging out for 4 days. The friend getting us into the show is a car audio store owner. Him, one of his co workers, and both of...

I love my HD580's, but since I use them a lot while I'm on my laptop, I hate having to deal with the super long cable. Is there anything out there I can buy, like a meter long or something (maybe even 1/2 meter, I dunno). Or should I buy a replacement cable from Senn and shorten it myself? I...

I'm looking for a nice CD player/changer for my home system. I have my whole CD collection ripped to my HTPC in WAV format and it sounds great when played through my receiver, but I don't always have my HTPC on and would like a decent CD player to handle music from when the HTPC is off. A...

For something nice. I want a nice stand for my audio gear (home audio gear that is). I found this : http://www.salamanderdesigns.com/syn...e=gal_237wb_01 Thought it would look great in my apartment, went to the local dealer (happened to be the same dealer that I buy my home audio gear from)...

I think I am confusing myself with trying to figure out what sound card is good for what, and what DAC is good for the money, etc. I am not well versed in sound cards. The first computer that needs an upgrade is my HTPC. Currently using the onboard sound of the ASUS P5LD2 motherboard. I run a 2...

This is for both, my HTPC and PowerMac G5. The PM G5 has an optical output, can I use it in conjunction with a DAC (like a Spitfire) and then run RCA's to my Gilmore Lite? I don't see much Apple talk here, so I don't know. Regarding the HTPC. I am currently using my motherboards onboard sound...

I am looking at getting a Digital SLR camera, but I don't want some super expensive professional model, just a nice entry level model for amatuers. I have my sisters wedding, cousins wedding, a graduation, and probably a trip overseas coming up by summer 2006, I want a nice camera for taking...

I am working right now (work at a hotel). I get a call from someone wanting to make a reservation. He asked some questions about the room and pool, and then asked "what do I need to make a reservation?". I told him that the main thing needed is a valid credit card number. He asked what I meant...

So I ordered a Parasound Halo P3 pre amp for my hi fi setup from a dealer in Texas. The unit ships out to me and is supposed to arrive yesterday. I check the tracking # yesterday after the UPS guy showed up without the pre amp and it stated that the packaged was "damaged during transit". Nice...

I am looking for an amp for my 325i's, and want a nice portable amp that I can use on the go with my laptop, or at home if needed. The AE-1 seems to fit the bill, small enclosure, built in rechargeable battery (AC jack also, nice touch), RCA and mini jack inputs, for $350, seems like a great...

I just got back from my visit to Toronto, while there I bought a pair of Grado 325i's. I think that they sound great off of my Powerbook, but I know that a nice amp would do them more justice. Since I want to use it with my laptop, I would like it to be portable, battery driven, so I don't have...

I am going to Toronto next week. I will be there from the 17th to the 23rd, visiting friends and having fun. One thing I wanted to do is check out some of the high end audio stores. In Oklahoma, selection is limited, we have a few here, but there is a lot of stuff out there that I would like to...

I know we have some fellow Canadian members here, so I thought I would ask this here. I am going to Toronto in 2 weeks, and I was wondering about something. If I make purchases on my credit card, how do they show up on my statement? I mean, will the credit card company convert CAD to USD...

I hope this is the right forum. I bought the Airport Express today thinking it was the all in one device I needed. Wirelessly print between my Powerbook and PC, share an internet connection wirelessly between them, and stream music from both. All works great, except for the music part...

i purchased the 704's on tuesday (on order, should be here next week). i will be connecting them to my marantz sr7500 7.1 channel reciever. i used to have a 5.1 setup that i liked, but i wanted something more for music as i didnt care much for 5.1 after a while, so 2.1 it is with higher...

one side at least. i dont think its in the cable, its not kinked or anything and moving it around doesnt do anything. i dont know if repairing it is feasable or not, but i would want something even if they can be repaired. i dont really have a budget, i wasnt expecting this to happen...

just got a new set of components and thought i'd share, they are really nice looking speakers and the packaging is equally nice: http://slickssite.com/D971_Components/ made by diamond audio, meant to compete with focal utopias and mb quart qsd's.

my 27" CRT TV crapped out on me. no warranty, which sucks. but i was looking for an excuse to buy an LCD and now i have one. i may still fix the CRT if its cheap enough and sell it to a friend or something. anyways, what you got? i'm just looking for some comments, wanting to see what people...

and i need some help well, i am new to macs, i've just always wanted to try the "most advanced OS in the world" or whatever it is that apple claims. so far, i like it, but i was wondering what is some good software to use with it? i downloaded firefox because i use that on my windows based...
