I've come to like head-fi over the past few years and am starting to get into the digital photography money pit and am looking for a forum as helpful and large and head-fi. Does one exist?

Redundant threads have really become an epidemic over the past few years. Which one do you hate to see the most? For me it's a tie between "Whas the end-all BEST gameing headphone for under $50" and "What's the best MP3 player?" I hate the gaming heaphones question mostly because games...

Hi dudes! It seems that we're more than just headphone fans here, we seem to be total gearheads! I've notices multiple camera threads here the past few days and think I've been bitten by the bug. I've never owned a digital camera and haven't operated a 35mm camera since college. I'm looking for...

It really is something you just absolutely love or just don't get. I find it to be the most F-ing funny thing I've ever heard. Here's a myspace page with four of his calls. LINK!

Hay there buddy boys happy birthday

I only took over 2 and a half years to finally make it to 1000 posts. Now I'm determined to make it to 1500 by the end of the month. Get ready for a deluge of "happy birthday so and so" and other inane posts.

It seems for the past couple of days headfi has intermitently been going down. I'm not gettting the page that says head-fi is undergoing maintenance either. Has anybody else been expieriencing this?

Sorry dudes, I know (if i were more savvy that is) I'd be able to find this in a search, but my attempts came up with nothing relevant. So, does anybody know when I'd be able to get my hands on these little buckaroos?! I just got a brand new pair of e5c's straight from shure since my last...

the greek word barbar which is the root of barbarian comes from the greeks first meeting the persians. The greeks valued their language more than any other form of expression. When the persians spoke to them in their own language the greeks found it to be very, very ugly and vulgure. They would...

Does this sound like a good idea? Like buyer/seller feedback for manufacturers and how they take care of warranty issues and repairs. Dedicated threads with out all the chit chat. I think that it would and should be a factor when deciding what headphone to buy. Perhaps just having a Shure Inc...

I did just that today. I don't have any documentation anymore but don't remember there being any warning about that. they're still under warranty according to the number stamped on the plug. Will shure replace them for this user error in anybodies experience? If not i'll probably just pay the...

I'm getting a creative zen vision:m there this afternoon and am thinking about getting the extended warranty but am not sure if it's even worth it since it doesn't cover accidental damage which is how my player will most likely bite the dust. Has anybody used this warranty here and are they good...

My 4G Ipod crapped out on me and I can't decide between the zune and the vision:m. For the record I really didn't like the sound of the ipod. I found it to be flat and a little lifeless compaired to my only other MP3 player the Nomad Jukebox 3 which rocked the house. I'd get another one if it...

I've tried to search but have no idea what anybody is talking about. Here's what I have. An Insignia 6.1 reciever with the 6 inch subs Insignia speakers everybody's talking about. My PC's onboard sound is going into that. It sounds like hell compaired to lets say a cd player going into it. Most...

I'm thinking about jumping on one of those 60gb 5g refubished ipod videos that are so cheep right now. I have way more than 40GB of music and wouldn't mind have more than 6 hours of battery life. Plus all apple referbs come with a year warenty for nothing. I currently have a 40gb 4g and am...

I really enjoy Bartok's work but am getting bured out on him for the time being. Can anybody recomend another composer that has a similar feel? Thanks, Aaron. P.S. perhaps a recomendation of some great recordings of any of bartoks work could help too.

I need one of these adaptors but don't know where to find a high quality one. I know I could just go down to ratshack and buy a cheep one for five bucks but don't know where to find a good one if there even is a difference. My google searches come up with nada. could somebody point me in the...

I was at a bar that had an extensive tobacco section and it made me remember when I used to smoke a pipe and how much I loved the smell of black cavendish pipe tobacco. It got me to thinking about using it as an insense. I discovered that if you take a normal metal spoon and put a pinch of...

I ordered a Turbodock II from TURBO on March 13th, nearly 3 weeks ago and still haven't recieved it yet. I PMed TURBO a week ago and he said in his reply that he recieved my payment and would contact me when with the shipping information when he shipped it. Nearly three weeks have gone by and he...

Is anybody else really looking forward to this CD that is slated to be released sometime in May? I'm very new to scott walker's work and so far have only heard Tilt and Climate of Hunter and love bother of those albums very much. Tilt, in my books for whatever its worth, is about as good as the...

Why do people put something up for sale and not give an asking price? Does anybody else find this obnoxious? Its not like they're selling the Mona Lisa, its just a pair of headphones or even a cable for christ's sake. How about this if you want to sell something instead of putting up an interest...

I'm only getting back about $1000 this year and as a rule I save half of it leaving only $500. I think I may get a pair of k701's or perhaps a micro DAC and a DAP with a digital out to go with it. I may just save the whole thing and move to chicago with it this fall. I can't decide.

Is there a very noticable difference between amping your ipod through the headphone out vs. the line-out? I've read that its the same signal path and that the ipod line-out is just a non-variable headphone-out. Is it true and do they sound about the same when amping? I just ordered an Ipod and...

I actually stopped watching the oscars when the best documentary of 2005 came up and grizzly man wasn't even nominated. I would have even been pissed if it had been nominated and didn't win. This was just a real kick in the balls.
