Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted on head-fi. Good to see it's still around. Ads everywhere, but that certainly hasn't seemed to inhibit the site's popularity or success. My SR-007s have been sitting in a box for over a year, along with my Headamp KGSS. All I've used in the past 18...

Oddly enough, I've listened to this album repeatedly over the past couple of days and I don't think I'm going to stop. It's pure brilliance. Reggie and the Full Effect is some sort of emo-pop supergroup, I think, featuring members from Get Up Kids and Coalesce among others. But R&TFE are...

http://www.purepwnage.com/ Start with Episode 1, of course. The similarity to some posters on Head-Fi is shocking (saddening?)

I just got a pair of Shure E3s (which sound very nice, BTW) and I'm mystified by this hockey puck-shaped carrying case. Is it used exclusively to carry the headphones? Or can it be used as a .. uh.. cable-slack-reduction-device? If the latter is true, can someone please explain how to properly...

If any of you can read Korean and want to help me translating a webpage, please PM me. Much appreciated. - Chris

http://www.nin.com/current/index.html !!!! The sample is amazing. I guess 'sample' is a misnomer. 'Teaser' is more appropriate. STILL.... it sounds incredible. I CANNOT WAIT.

Does anyone know if any shops in Toronto sell Shure E3(c)? I'm going to be there soon and I'd love to snag a pair, but since I live in the desolate, mailorder-barren America Jr., I'm hoping I can find a pair in a retail store. That doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm asking for too much...

http://www2.117.ne.jp/~ota-beam/otb-hp.htm oh god i hate anime (i hate anime fans much more than i hate anime, though) but at least he had the decency to represent the sr-404

haha Reading this actually made me burst out loud laughing. What's funnier... ... the fact that there's a tank for sale on Amazon? ... the fact that there's a $20,000 tank for sale on Amazon? ... or the fact that the tank is not just a tank it is a BADONKADONK tank!? - Chris

I saw this at the Toronto film festival last night (or this morning, I guess). I have to say I was somewhat disappointed, but not so much that I didn't enjoy myself or feel it wasn't worth it. Visually, the film was a spectacle to behold. The combination of CG backgrounds with...

Man, oh man, did I ever miss these headphones. I packed up my Omega IIs for shipping/moving purposes almost a month ago and I just set them up in my new (first!) apartment fifteen minutes ago. I totally forgot how amazing these were. I had been using HD 25s with my Rio Karma for a month...

Does anyone know what you can do with this yet? If anyone uses the hacked encryption to create a foobar2000 plugin that works with Airport Express, I will be all over that like white on mo'-fackin' rice. Aren't there some programmer gurus here who could fulfill my desires? - Chris

I think I'm going to need an MP3 player to hold me off until the Rio Chroma comes out, since I have a feeling it won't be out for a while. When does the Rio Carbon come out? I suppose that might be an option but I'm not sure it's worth spending that much money, considering I plan to buy a Chroma...

I chose to place this in the Lounge as opposed to the Music forum since a large portion of Head-Fi's userbase (for whatever reason) ignores the Music forum. Anyhow, a very interesting article and a must-read for us all on Head-Fi, especially those computer-audio users. link - Chris

Hi, I'm a soon-to-be Canadian. In one month I'll be attending university in the Great White North, in the desolate snow-blown tundras of Ontario. (That is to say: about an hour outside Toronto.) I'm wondering what you Canadians do for portable headphones during the frigid 8-month winters...

Hi folks, I've had an EMU 1212m sitting on the floor of my room for about a month now and I haven't had the impetus to install it. (I'm lazy.) I figure I may as well go ahead and do it this afternoon. I was wondering if someone could give me configurations for the patchmix software so I don't...

(for horror movie fans) Have any gorehounds had a chance to see this film? It's a French slasher film that seems to be getting lots of attention. Somewhat rightly deserved, if you ask me. It clearly pays homage to the slasher/thriller/horror films of the late 70s/early 80s, especially...

A while back, in the green tea thread, Demolition and a few others recommended some rice cookers to me. Search is down so I cannot locate said thread, unfortunately. So I'm starting a new one. I need rice cooker recommendations. I'll be living on my own soon (shock/awe) and since it will just...

God, I love doing this. I actually downloaded this disc at random (I'm going to purchase it as soon as it comes into stock at Aquarius) because I thought the name "Espers" was cool. What an amazing surprise. Espers consists of Greg Weeks, Meg Baird, and Brooke Sietensons. Apparently Greg...

For those of you looking for something completely different... I had heard of Jandek for a while, but it was not till last night that I actually became familiar with his music... or learned more about him. A documentary on Jandek If you don't know who Jandek is... how can I describe...

You know, it's almost impossible to find real jewel cases anymore. Everywhere I look, the only things sold are those "slimline" cases. I'm looking for a translucent blue jewel case. Does anyone have a spare? (I only need one.) I'll gladly cover shipping if you feel like being generous...

Hello, I'm considering a turntable purchase. Not for a while, though. Maybe not even this year. But if I ever do decide to go for it, I'd like some ideas of what to aim for. Right now my source is a Bel Canto DAC2, which is a pretty damn good DAC. If I get a turntable, I'd like something...

Has anyone used one of these? link Essentially it's a keyboard that renders a mouse unnecessary. It looks really, really, really really neat. link to a review Amazon has them for $264 and they have a 30-day return policy. Seriously considering trying it. I've always dreamed of not...

Anyone have a Gmail account? ... and want to give me an invite so I don't have to pay $25 for one on eBay? I thought it'd be worth asking. - Chris

I've been with the Omega II for four days now and I'm only just realizing the depths of power and beauty contained within these electrostatic earspeakers. I thought I'd let everyone know some of my first impressions. Should make for fun discussion. First of all: everyone who says that...
