Hey there, I'm having a problem with my Pioneer A-35R integrated. I'm noticing a hissing sound coming out of the left channel. It's not the speaker, as it happens when I connect my right speaker to the channel. It happens on both the A/B Channel. It doesn't get louder when I turn the...

whoops

Is the search not working for anyone else? I whenever I press search, it says waiting for reply from www6.head-fi, and then goes to done, without returning any results. edit: actually, it seems to depend on what I search for. if I search for headroom + etymotic, nothing. etymotic by itself is...

Hello, What's the cheapest place to buy Etymotic 4S now? I seem to remember them selling for $190 a few months back, but I can't seem to find them for that price. -Andrzej

A guy at work needs some advice on purchasing a speaker system. He was originally considering a 5 channel surround setup, but when pressed, he said he was primarily going to be listening to music, so he agreed that 2 channel may be the way to go. So will primarily be listening to music, but will...

I got an internship this summer in San Jose from mid June to late august. Any words of wisdom? I've never actually been in California (the closest I've come is Las Vegas, and the heat during that time was ridiculous). I company is paying for housing. I'm a few minutes east of San Jose Airport...

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone here on head-fi row; sweep or scull? I'm on the Freshman Lightweight team at MIT, and it's just been exciting to finally get out on the water and off the erg these past few days. So does anyone take part in this fun filled watersport?

Just wondering if anyone here has donated plasma. From what I understand, you can get a bit of money for doing this. Does anyone know how much you get? I'm just a college student . . . and this amp is kind of expensive. . .

Just posting here to share my experience today. I'm sure you've all heard about the prevalence of unprotected wireless access points, and how you should protect your networks. I was tasked with taking my sister to the doctors for an appointment today, so I decided to bring my new laptop along...

I'm contemplating downgrading my existing system to a computer based one because of going off to college. How do the transit/sonica compare? I understand that the transit has an opamp and can drive headphones, but this doesn't interest me as I'll be using a headphone amplifier (in fact, is there...

This post kind of encompasses all of the forums, so I think it'd be best here. Like many head-fiers have done, I get to start college this fall at MIT in Boston. Here comes the problem: I'll be living in dorms. Quite a few people have told me that taking expensive stuff to college is just asking...

So, after getting back from Poland, you guys will be happy to see I've made a productive use of my time. Ouchies Here's a picture of me FIGHTING THE TERRORIST THREAT Ever wonder why SR-200 prices are so high? Give it a try guys

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I have to turn your attention towards http://www.archive.org/movies/movies...tion=prelinger , a collection of public domain movies from the middle of the 20th century. Without this website, and movies like "Boys Beware" (under homosexuality), I might...

Well, today is it, my high school graduation. I'm just finishing my valedictorian speech now. Any words of advice?

Well, tomorrow’s my last day of high school ever, and with that comes my English final. But instead of trying to remember how the heck polyphonic tension contributed to Crime and Punishment, I’ve decided to write this review instead. Disclaimer: The views below are purely my own and...

I need a 4700 uF Cap, 42volts plus, that has a dimension of about 22mm in diameter. Nichi golds would be great, but I really want them to be able to just go in the holes on my cd player's board (ie: no off board mounting if possible). Any ideas?

I'm in the process of modifying my Music Hall CD-25. I need some help choosing capacitors. First: replacing 3300uF 42V caps with 4700uF 25V panasonics. Is the 25V ok? Should I look for something higher? Second: there are 4 330uF 25V caps near the clocks. Should I go for 470, or 680? Third: 2...

I just sold my NEC/Modded Art combo and I'm beginning to regret it. I really miss the little guy, especially since he sounded so fantastic. Stupid upgrading Anyways, what do you guys suggest as a source? I'm fairly handy with a soldering iron, so modability would be a plus. My budget around...

Are there any online resources for DIY Music Hall CD-25 modding? After selling my modded nec/art combo (and still not being sure whether or not I made the right choice after loving it so much), I'm looking into my options for a new source. The music hall is coming up quite frequently as a modder...

Well, it looks as if I may be moving to boston come this fall, as an incoming freshman at MIT. I know there used to be a really big boston head-fi following: are you guys still there? I'm visiting this weekend. Any recommended places to eat, etc, around cambridge? To keep this audio related...

I GOT IN TO MIT. :-D HAHAHHAHAHA

After 4+ months of searching, I'm finally joining the Joe Grado club. My SR-200s are being shipped out tomorrow. It has been a long time coming. I'm hoping that what has been said about the v2/200 combo is true.

I got back a bit ago from Pittsburgh's first-ever Head-Fi meet. I had a great time, and I'm really looking forward to reading everyone else's impressions. The meet was fairly small, with six of us showing up. Tmesis graciously allowed us to use his home as the meeting place, and things came off...

A Head-Fi meet will be held in Pittsburgh, PA today. Directions and my phone number can be found in the main thread: http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showt...745#post719745 Call me for the address(phone number is there). Hope to see you there!

Maybe you guys remember this site: http://www.musiccdsettlement.com/ which dealt with the music cd settlement case. I just received my check for $13.68. Umm. . . i'll probably buy a cd with it. Anyone else receive theirs?
