My dad and i have been spending the last few days in montreal, and so far, other than the film festival going on right now, haven't really found too much that's intresting to do. Anyone here have some reccomendations of things to liven up our vacation, and let us spend less time in the internet...

So, i return after a long hiatus from head-fi. Long story short, a friend of mine is looking into the hobby, and has already purchased himself a pair of HD-580's. I've fallen out of the loop when it comes to the flavor of the month amplifiers, and any help in finding a reliable, non battery...

Well, the year seems to be winding down, and most of the major albums comming out this year have seen their light. So, in the tradition of music nerds/geeks/whathaveyou, post your top ten favorate albums of the year. I'd say overall it's been an intresting year for music. The mainstream...

I've talked to a few people who are/have been banned (No names will be mentioned), and there seems to be a large amount of confusion about why a certian person is being banned. Now, i'm not here to contest people being banned (That's a different matter that won't be addressed here), but the...

I've talked to a few people, and their certaintly seems to be some intrest for this one. I was thinking of doing it sometime in july to match it up with the last meet as being 6 months away, but it seems like there's a chicago meet also occuring around that time, perhaps in august? What do...

Well, with some free time and some quick thinking, i've managed to turn my sporta pro's into a ghetto pair of KSC-35's for pennies. How? Pull firmly on the drivers to remove them from the headband (in sporta pro's and porta pro's, i'm not sure how to remove the drivers on KSC-50's), and find...

Look at the new logo... this must be the work of dirty teenage hackers, jude, load up the cannons, we must defend the forums!

First of all, i would like to thank everyone who attended, you guys are really what makes this place wonderful. I had a great time, and would gladly organize future meets, perhaps every 6 months (opposite the chicago meets) would work well. Anyone have any ideas/opinions on that? Now, on to...

Now that the meet's happened, i'd like to thank all of you for attending, and will be sure to post a new thread for plans for future meets.

Does anyone here have any experences with the Draloric vishay resistors? I was over at partsconnexion, and buying a large number of them was somewhat tempting given they have them in an obscure value i was looking for. Has anyone used 'em before?

Would anyone here with Grado HP's headphones do me a favor and weigh them? I'm curious as to what exactly they weigh, given that everyone complains about their weight, relitive to the rest of their headphones (and most notiably, my dad's old Koss Pro 4AA's i've been stuck using as of late)

http://www.buyolympia.com/killrockst...e+Decemberists For everyone here who claims to be an indie rock fan, this should be a essential purchase. The decemberists are a reltively new indie band, and they just released this amazing album a few months ago, i reccomend that everyone check it...

I posted a intrest check way back on this one but today i came across a place to host it (for free) There are a few restrictions, like no vendors will be able to sell anything at the meet (Sorry guys, it's in a public place), Otherwise, there aren't many restrictions that we need to worry...

Has anyone ever come across something like this? (and i'm not talking about those fancy gold records). I bought a promise ring LP (30 degrees everywhere), and while it's beautful (A marbled grey pattern), i'm begining to doubt that it's really vinyl. It sounds awful (The recording was bad, but...

I've been playing with this for some time now It seems to be pretty accurate for my old writings, only one of them was rated as female. I'm curious as to how the rest of you do

This is a fun little toy i've been playing with for the last 10 minutes. See what your best time is, mine is .16

Hope you enjoy the day

This one is for tube users only, it's part number 9319K26 at mcmaster. They're teflon incapuslated silicone O-rings, and are cheap tube dampers, and sound wonderful. Sound is clearer, bass is deeper and punchier, and detail has sigificantly been increased. It's 8 dollars, and i'm hearing details...

It's been a strange night, i had to work some long hellish hours at work, and, comming home, i sat down at my computer, put in my 'phones, clicked on some mp3's, and read an interview with wayne coyne. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/revie...986929,00.html When i read this, i just kinda...

Out of the new sodas out there, which is your favorate? edit: the poll somehow got messed up, could the mods please add sprite remix as another choice?

Anyone who got the special edition know what i'm talking about. I think the map is supposed to say in the booklet

Has anyone spent quality time comparing these two players on their redbook playback? I'm sick of the absymal redbook on the Ns500v, and my Di/o decided to die, after a modding experence, so i'm stuck without a decent source. Thanks in advance

My adventures in Di/O modding have ended abruptly when the thing suddenly died after working fine for some time. Regardless, i need a source upgrade anyway, i suppose it's a nice conicednece. So, what great redbook sources can i get for under 1k. SACD would be nice, but i would perfer a player...

Well, since a deal on audiogon for a powerconditioner fell through (and a damn good deal at that *sigh* is the way with such things), it looks like i've got a few bucks left over to play around with, more spefically, 200. Right now, i've got a Ns500v and a Art Di/O, and i'm not sure if i should...

I know there are alot of people who would like to try out a bunch of cables that exist, me as well, and i've got an idea. Head-fi starts a cable box. I'm working on some john risch designs, and i could always could do some venhaus designs as well. I think this could be a good platform for...
