hi ya'll, here's a wee bit of shameless promotion. my apologies to Jude et al some good people are trying to get a small gaming community going on and just wanted to give any PS2/XBOX/GCube/PC gamers a heads-up. I've always wanted a great community message board like Head-Fi to talk...

Hi there, Just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar to what I've been going through. I have not listened to my headphones since before Christmas. I no longer read these message boards, nor do I surf over to Headwize. The Dream Is Over. A few reasons for this I think: I...

Just wondering how many people here are into gaming (console or PC or handheld or WHATEVER).... I read in the paper last week that 1/3 of gamers are now over 30 years old. And in the year 2000 the gaming industry worldwide took over the movie industry in revenue. So obviously gaming is a big...

hi, just wondered how many people here are smokers. Or former smokers. I'm on my second day of quitting.... approaching 48 hours and i'm getting kinda restless. actually i'm bouncing off the walls. actually i probably shouldn't be around people today. experiences, comments. lay it on me.

hello hello, my papers have been written, my exams are "fully" studied for... i'm back. just wanted to remind people to update their virus definitions! my girlfriend, whilst checking her yahoo!mail, downloaded an .exe file from an email, which then decided to eat my entire computer. all my...

Is there such a thing as "overburn in"? At one point do headphones say: no more! i'm done! no more! I have noticed with my own headphones that the sound has changed since when I first got them. Is this a continuous process whereby the sound is constantly changing with every 50 hours of...

1. this is none of my business 2. i'm a curious monkey nonetheless 3. hypothetical situation: with the recent opening of revenue streams on this site (sponsors + the store) i hope that the capital that Jude has invested in this site ($5000 was it?) will eventually shrink to nothing. And the...

Expect a full review once it's been broken in!

i've been toying with the idea of getting my own domain name and actually paying for web site hosting. It would be more of a hobby than anything else, something for me to explore and learn CGI and PHP with, as well as get more familiar with graphic creation. I'd also like to have a cool email...

things you never knew you wanted until now: Digital Pill Reminder: Waterproof Nightvision goggles: Atomic watch ("Accurate to one second per million years, this watch receives daily radio signals from the U.S. Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. The signals automatically update the...

a dumb question but what the hell, I don't know so I shall ask What is a preamp? Why would you want one? setup: CDP --> preamp --> amp --> headphones/speakers (is this correct?) What's the point exactly? Thx in advance

does anyone else remember how it felt when they got their first credit card? I just got mine today, a student visa card w/ a $1500 limit. what the hell, i'm a freakin student with a crappy part time job.. i make less than $100/week.. Initial impressions: 1. feelings of being scared. (what...

Okay... lemme pose this question to the good folks at Headroom, and also to everyone here at head-fi (I want your comments!): Why doesn't Headroom make a tube headphone amp? The MG Head and the X-Cans v2 are two very popular amps it seems, and no doubt part of that logic is that they are...

Yello I was wondering if it were possible to "lift" the hotmail sign in form from hotmail.com and paste it into another html document and still be able to login to hotmail. I've been playing with it for a little bit and can't seem to get it to work, though it does seem to work with...

soooooooooo the PJB doesn't have a lineout. Headphone jack --> amp --> headphones --> my ears. How does this effect the sound? What exactly is the benefit of using a lineout, other than not having two volume controls??

I've searched for this amp locally and can't seem to find it anywhere. And looking for an online retailer has proved fruitless. I've heard of people buying it from audioadvisor.com but they no longer carry it. I had pretty much decided on getting the MG Head but I finally discovered that the...

Question for y'all who are in the know: if I were to buy the MDR-CD3000's IN Japan, would they be cheaper than buying them in Europe and/or North America? Reason being: My mother has a good friend who recently moved to Tokyo, so I was wondering if he could buy some stuff for me and ship it on...

spawned by a few thoughts i had at another post (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...&threadid=2529), I did some price research regarding Head-Fi merchandise. First, lemme quote myself: "idea: since Jude's life is busy enough without organizing head-fi merchandise why don't we, the...

the Pioneer SEDJ5000 what are these? why haven't they ever been mentioned before? because they're crap? or what?

anyone know anything about Stanton headphones? they're "DJ headphones" ... mind you i'm listening to "studio headphones" right now (beyer 250's) so who cares what the companies are targeting there products at... anyway, some pics: DJ Pro 2000 S DJ Pro 60 and they're compact (for...

found these at: http://64.213.162.194/catalog/ws2001/headphoneamps.html Symetrix 304 Headphone Amplifier Furman HA6A Headphone/Monitor Amplifier Samson EarAmp these products, and the others at the site, are targetted at musicians of course, but was wondering if...

I found Headwize in the early spring of this year. By June I had purchased my first pair of "good" headphones. In September I bought my first headphone amp, a portable. This past week I purchased the Denon 370 (which is currently in transit!). What are you people doing to me??? Now I need an...

anyone know anything about the Ear HP4 headphone amplifier? it costs $2400, making it a wee bit out of my price range, but was curious to hear what people thought about it.

If anyone has seen Won Kar Wai's excellent film Chungking Express you probably noted the Cranberries song "Dreams" that was sung in mandarin (?) by a Hong Kong based singer named Faye Wong. That cover is just amazing and so I went online to learn a wee bit more about Faye Wong and I was just...

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about the sound quality of the newest edition of the RioVolt CD/MP3 player... also, I can't seem to find out if this thing has a line-out. I assume it does but it would be nice if a review would mention it. I intend to email the riovolt's parent...
