Originally, I was dead set on shelling out extra $ to pick up some of the old SNES and N64 games that I loved.  However, I recently learned that many of those games had save batteries in them and once they go out, you can no longer save your games.  should I allow this to be a deterring factor...

I regrettably sold all my HPs a couple of months ago and am getting the urge again to pick up a new pair of cans.    I'll probably get either the HD-600 or HE-500 again, because I loved both of them.  Have't listened to too many other types of HPs though   Looking for HPs that will sound...

which would be the superior option for the price?

any system         My current list:   FF9 Xenogears Chrono Trigger FF7 FF6

is there any evidence that an SSD will last longer than an HDD ?   I've heard that the SSD has no moving parts, less heat, so it should last longer.  Given that I take my laptop with me often, would I get more years out of a laptop solely with an SSD ?   even if SSDs last longer, would...

my brother wants to get an alienware Aurora R4 gaming pc that is $3,000 9with all the stupid extras he put into it)   From what I've read, alienware is overpriced.  He is lazy and too dumb to buy parts and assemble a gaming PC for himself though   My question is, what is the best gaming...

I have a buyer in Germany who wants an amp.   What would you estimate the shipping would be to send it there and what are the odds that it gets lost, stolen, or broken?

From my time on the forums on head-fi, I keep hearing DACs being referred to as either sounding cold and analytical, giving good detail in the music; or warmer and more musical sounding.   It seems as for DACs under the $500, often you have to choose one at the expense of the other (atleast...

I'm currently listening to my HE-500s through a bifrost.  Was looking to possibly upgrade the  DAC (1000 budget).  I was looking at dacs such as benchmark and apogee.    I have no qualms with my current setup, but I'm curious to see how a better DAC will improve the sound, or if I will even...

Wondering what your opinions were on the best route to go for an audio system for my ps3 for gaming and movies.   I was thinking maybe hook up a DAC and some studio monitors or stereo speakers; or do you think I should consider 5.1 or 7.1 setup

I'm currently using a bifrost and it sounds amazing.  I'm looking to possibly upgrade my DAC soon, but I don't want to upgrade unless its going to make atleast a slight improvement.  Anyone have any recommendations for  a DAC under $1,000 that would be worth my investment, or  should I just...

Picking up some studio monitors soon and I was wondering If there is anyway I could just run my headphone DAC (bifrost) into the monitors.  Or would it be a better idea to just pick up an audio interface?   If you think I should go the audio interface route, some sub $500 recommendations...
