This was my first CanJam, and I was pleased that the promised friendly atmosphere lived up to expectations and beyond. I didn't make detailed notes, but did make a brief jot down of some of the things that either particularly impressed me, and/or I decided to buy as a result of the listen. I...

Compared the red to the black at CanJam. Red seemed more detailed, but brighter than the black, and as my current IEM's are already a little bright, the red is not for me...

Alas, no. Not really a DAP guy, myself.

The following is a brief (not very brief, sorry!) comparison of a few small 'dongle-DACs' that I have been playing with. Making my way back into the head-fi game after a few years away, I treated myself to a pair of Trinity Audio Atlas IEM's, and then fell into the all-too familiar cycle of...

Simpleton as I no doubt am, I can't see a use for such a device. What is it for?

For various reasons, I think it would be foolish to ban them from the games (mainly the 'cultural heritage' aspect), but they do sound bloody awful. There have been various conversations about using filters to block the noise, and various prattling morons saying 'it'd be totally impossible, it...

You're more likely to get the information you need in the dedicated amplifiers forum. There's heaps of stuff there.

The science museum is fantastic, well worth a visit. Plus it's free, so you can dip in and out without feeling like you're wasting the entrance fee if you aren't feeling it.   If you are in early September, I would HIGHLY recommend taking in a Prom at the Royal Albert Hall...

Does this count as strictly 'legal'? If not, then I think we are tiptoeing towards breaking head-fi rules here...

Interesting graphic on BBC news about supercomputers today, using treemaps.   http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10187248.stm   Not the most relevant to the thread, interesting none the less.

I picked up a nice new toy today. Happened to be passing a stationary-stand, and saw a Kuru Toga. In a fit of whimsy, I decided that I had to have one. The self-rotating barrel thing is really cool, and despite the thing being made from 10 different flavours of plastic, it doesn't feel too...

It's also slightly confusing what happened to the 'featured full reviews' section. My LONG K1000 review (to which my sig-link used to point) seems to be missing. I imagined it would end up in there.

No Grados in the library. They leak too much noise, and the powers would be would string you up by the rafters of the Bodleian. Ps. Welcome to Head-fi. Sorry about your wallet.

Me, me. I want an OrphOus. (Check the spelling on the picture links.) Class act.

The original (and intended) meaning of the signs was actually subtly different. The idea being that in the event of a crash, if the bodywork of the car was mangled, then a very small child may become lost in (or thrown from) the wreckage, and if all involved were incapacitated, that child would...

In. On.

I alphabetised my CD's a year or two back. It took me several hours, and all I was doing was moving them into order.
