... that isn't just a number under the Replies column.  I liked the vBulletin dual-purpose page navigation under each thread title that allowed one to discern a thread's size at a glance.  While scanning down the titles on a page, it clearly distinguished threads from one another.  It was quite...

After doing an incredibly stupid thing several months back, I finally got around to repairing my Cayin HA-1A. This involved cleaning up a salty corroded mess, desoldering, more cleaning, then resoldering. All without any skill whatsoever. In fact, Fitz can attest to how downright awful I am with...

I could take or leave most of the rest of this chick's music, but her rendition of First Day of My Life is great.

TheMarchingMule mentioned short stories in another thread, and it got me thinking... anyone have a short story they'd like to share? I've always been a fan of the medium, and have had a couple of long short story/novella ideas kicking around in my head for a few years. Maybe reading some...

Okay, I'm sitting outside on the front stoop with my cat, drinking some iced sencha, having a smoke and taking in the night when I notice her noticing something out in the yard near the corner of the house. Bunnies hang around there and she likes to harass them, so I tell her "No," after which...

I made beerfles (beer waffles) over the weekend. They were so good. I want to eat beerfles for dinner.

I'm sure any Netflix users have already seen the e-mail: Quote: Originally Posted by Netflix We wanted to let you know we will be eliminating Profiles, the feature that allowed you to set up separate DVD Queues under one account, effective September 1, 2008. I don't use a...

I used Picasa when it was first released and found it kind of obnoxious, so I gave up on it. I recently tried using it again, and I must say, Google really dropped the ball. Picasa and Picasa Web Albums have been nothing but frustrating. Simply adding a profile photo has taken 15...

Spread Firefox | Download Day 2008 I'm guessing we have some pledges here.

I haven't been here much at all in the last several months. I returned to sell a few items, and then I was going to skip off on my merry way. But now, I can't seem to leave. And I'm finding myself seriously desiring a DX1000. Can someone berate me until I leave? Plainsong, perhaps?

Which term do you prefer?

The iMod is not recognized in iTunes or by my computer. I was not able to force the iMod into disk mode. Am I screwed? I haven't yet contacted Vinnie, but this seems to be one of the problems Apple addresses by simply replacing the unit. Obviously I don't want that, and might not be entitled to...

Like the soundtrack to the most vibrantly mysterious and melancholy dream you've ever had, Twin Peaks: Season Two Music has FINALLY been released. I have been waiting for this moment ever since I heard this gorgeous music butchered on the VHS release of the show. Even then it peeked out from...

HeadRoom Balanced Desktop with internal DAC vs. Cayin HA-1A with Monarchy M24: Impressions using the K340 Note that impressions using the selfish and difficult K340 are not representative of how either of these amps functions with any other headphones. Equipment: Rig A: CD > 1212m >...

I've noticed there are a number of people who consider Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins to be the pinnacle Batman moment, and while it was certainly better than Schumacher's attempts, I found it dry and quite lacking in true Batman spirit. The ninja origin for Batman's abilities was a laughably...

I won an auction and the buyer lists the following under payment instructions: Paypal adds 3%. I saw this before I bid and 3% amounts to 43.5 cents. I almost don't care, but I thought eBay sellers couldn't pass the PayPal fee onto buyers (without including it in the item's price). I'm...

I'm tired of pretending we have a good relationship, ear. You hear a little bit better than righty and sometimes you just plain ruin my life. You're too sensitive. Sometimes you get a funny sensation that persists until I stop listening to music for several days, which is really hard to do, and...

I've tried to piece together what I can about which tubes to try with the Cayin HA-1A and I'm not quite getting there. I had some luck the last time I started a tube rolling thread, so here I go again. 12AX7 x 1 12AU7 x 1 EL84 x 2

I recently set up a Monarchy M24 DAC (computer-as-transport). I liked the sound except it was too forward. I was actually feeling crowded by the music. Vocalists were right on top of me like zombies trying to suck my brains out through straws. Sounds were regularly cast behind and well below me...

"What do monkeys have to do with war, oppression, crime, racism and even e-mail spam? You'll see that all of the random ass-headed cruelty of the world will suddenly make perfect sense once we go Inside the Monkeysphere."

Some chick at work recommended this to me and I was skeptical due to her generally bad taste, but the show is downright flawless. Created and written by Matthew Weiner of The Sopranos fame, it stinks of quality. It was picked up for a second season, so you'll have something to look forward to...

I picked up a used Monarchy M24 with a pair of Amperex JAN 7308 gold-pins. It should arrive sometime next week. I am anticipating some good sound ahead, though it will be interesting to finally make the jump from NOS (D02, Monica 2, DAC-AH) to OS. I'm hoping the M24 will be the kind of OS DAC to...

1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! 1500! I have been savoring my last few posts as a 1000+ member, attempting to come up with the perfect way to celebrate the hours, money, and time with the opposite sex Head-Fi has stolen from me. I thought to myself, do I...

I just remembered this now. In the dream I was watching RYCeT and his girlfriend, kind of standing on a sidewalk or looking out the window of my house. He had a house across the street. It was a nice suburban neighborhood with lots of old, tall trees. My house had a nice sloping, grassy yard...
