As I was lazing through another forum on the internet, just being totally bored out of my mind, I was thoroughly un-entertained by a particular thread that advocated for the least interesting things in the world.   What non-inspiring stories do you have of watching your front lawn grow or...

With browsers using basic tabbed functionality, I want to know, how many tabs you got open right now!? Typically I sit with 4 or 5 open unless I'm doing something where I want to look up multiple things at once. Also, if you don't have your "typical" number of tabs open right now, how many do...

So I'm working on this project (obviously) for school.  I have to do a bunch of research and the present a "product" at the end of the year.  I figured I'd go ahead and learn about electronics in audio and try to build up a glorified Cmoy as the product.  And don't try to talk me out of it!  ...

While working on adding a jack so I could run an amp of mine from AC power I accidentally touched the tip of my soldering iron while it was on with my pinky finger. Needless to say 325 deg C is not a pleasant experience. But it got me wondering, for those of you who have been doing this much...

So I've got my Cmoy all built up and working ( http://www.head-fi.org/t/85561/post-pics-of-your-builds/8220#post_7777945 ). It sounds really nice so far. But as you can see, I'm using two 9V's to power the thing. Now I'm pretty much just using it on my desk for the time being and I've been...

As I've been perusing and commenting around on the forums here at Head-fi, I had a thought. Yes, yes, I know, rare as it may be, I had a thought.   Generally people who LOOOOVE them some bass are called bassheads. But, when someone likes highs best or mids best, we don't really have a fun...

Alright, so here's the deal. I recently received a $50 Best Buy gift card. However, there isn't really much worth spending money on at Best Buy. So, I have a quest, find the coolest, most interesting, or most promising (terms are flexible...), audio-related item at Best Buy around $50 (no more...

In my recent search for something to hold my headphones, and my lack of money to purchase a real stand, I found in my house, a Gorillapod. Normally used for mounting cameras at different angles, I have found that it can be attached to the side of my desk and hold... my headphones!    ...

Now that I should be studying for my midterms, I thought it a fine time to post my impressions of the Total Bithead from Headroom. http://www.headphone.com/headphone-amps/amplifiers/headroom-total-bithead.php. I got this as a Christmas gift, so no comments on the price/value as I paid $0. Yay...

Right now, I'm using a pair of ATH-M50's plugged directly into my computer. I use wav files (because iTunes doesn't support flac and I don't want to support an Apple codec) so the source is good. The sound quality is quite good, but I was wonder if I could get any improvement with a cheap USB...

Ok, please don't knock me for posting about the Audio Technica M50's again, but I wanted to give people some perspective of what they are getting if they are coming from never having spend more than $30 on headphones before.  I guess I'm writing the review I would have wanted to read before I...
