    Sennheiser HE-1

    I had the chance to shoot an introductory event with the HE-1 a while ago and I begged for some time to have a bit of a product shot. It's been a while since this happened, kind of forgot I used to post here so hence the delay. Anyway, I present some clean fun headphone pr0n: I got some time...

    Funky-looking old headphones I found [PICS]

    I was up at my grandmothers a few days ago, and looked through a cabinet that had my late granpas old technical stuff in it. Most interesting finds were a medium format camera and this headphone. Here's some pics: It has some weird connector scheme going on, almost looks like it...

    Balanced ground Vs. "True" balanced signal path

    Hi guys, long time no see. I'm the owner of a Singlepower tube amp and while I love the sound, the issues that have cropped up regarding build quality are pushing me towards a new purchase. I'm thinking about buying a well-built solid state amp, in the <700$ range. I see there are some...

    Budapest now

    Well, I'm not sure if this can fly by under the no politics rule, but I thought I'd throw up a link to my own pictures about the clashes going on in Budapest this week. Here is a choice morsel : Notice anything about the confused-looking dude? Hint: he's blind. He got hit a few times...

    My recent endevours in the world of headphone audio (Hd-201, ack! dac)

    I haven’t really been active on head-fi for quite some time now, and I've tried this and that during this period. Here are my impressions. It turned out a bit longer than I thought. I used the shure e2c's as portable phones for the duration of most of last year, and I really liked them...

    Trouble with speakers, repairable?

    Recently, one of my Paradigm Atoms has developed a not-too-loud buzzing sound when playing deep bass notes. I took it apart, and this is what I found: These are three separate photos of the one rip I found. My question: can anything be done to help with this issue?

    Music recommendation

    I've been listening to these bands a lot nowdays, check them out! These three are similarly unclassifiable bands, I'll go out on a limb and say jazz: Critter Buggins Garage a Trois Tuatara Fugitive Poets is a rock band with a message. and Four Tet Is amaaaaasing electronic...

    Straddling a multiple-pronged dilemma

    In the past months, I have been more or less satisfied with my rig (lots of speaker love too), and have turned to broadening my musical taste. Now, as I slip back into the warm flow of head-fi, I'm faced with a dilemma. I have 2-300 dollars that I plan to spend on Hifi gear. I would like to...

    A question to all you computer guys out there

    I have a problem with my computer, something that leads to no damage, but is bugging me. I tried out Kapersky antivirus some time ago, when I thought norton didnt catch everything on the computer. After a while, I uninstalled it, because it was more bother than good. However, if I copy something...

    Hungarian minimeet impressions.

    In the end, out of the 7-8 people expected, there where 4 of us at my place (a friend of mine also turned up, who might soon turn to the dark side). The people: Tamas (a.k.a. Banfi T), Zoltan (a hungarian amp/dac manufacturer), Peter (my friend) and me. Tamas arrived way before the other chap...

    Tord Gustavsen Trio - The Ground

    Go buy this CD now. It's a breathtakingly beautiful jazz album, the first piano trio composition that really grabbed me. Pure, 100% magic. And the sound quality is also something to die for! This is some slow, relaxed jazz, but so sweet it makes you want to cry.

    If you listen to music with foobar or winamp, try this!

    You should try AVS out. It is an incredible visualization application. You can use it in foobar with the bacon plugin, and it is included in the newer winamps by default. You can find AVS presets on the winamp site, deviantart and whyeye. There are some real beauties out there, I recommend...

    Out Hud

    I have the album S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. from this band, and I am mightily enjoying listening to it, especially track 5, "The L Train Is a Swell Train and I Don't Want to Hear You Indies Complain". Any thoughts about them? The names might seem stupid, but this is nice (post ?) rock / indie music. link

    Yayyy! MORE Bandwidth!

    Wow, My ISP has doubled my bandwidth for the second time the past half-year, TOTALLY FREE! I now have a 2 megabit downline (still about 300 kbit upline)! I started from 512 kb/s. On a side note, I still pay more for this than you US/Finn dudes do for a 10 Mbit fiberoptic line, but still...

    Recording Music: Some Pointers?

    Tomorrow I'm going to help my friends record some music. They have a ska-jazz band (clarinet, sax, guitar, piano, bass, drums). We'll be using my EMU 0404 card (with 2 microphones I think. Maybe a third one will be used with another computer, but that would be with onboard audio ). I have never...

    Game theory books?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for good books about game theory. Books that are about complex landscapes and more abstract stuff would be good, as this is needed for research about GT itsself. Any advice?

    Thoughts on Eric Berne?

    I signed up this year for a seminar that is about transactional analisis, and it's very interesting. I recently read two of Bernes books: Games People Play and What Do You Say After You Say Hello [the hungarian title was better], and they made me think quite a bit about myself. Do you have any...
