    K, don't laugh. How many wires inside a headphone cable?

    Depends on the cable. Some have 4 wires some have three (1 wire for both grounds). In the end you need 4 wires (2 coming off each driver) but depending on the way the headphone is made the actual wire you see may have 4 or 3. Usually 4 in my experience though.

    You do it electronics in Mass?

    I use them all the time to pick up extra parts and stuff. Be warned that youre not going to find the highest quality volume pots there, but everything else should be relatively good, you just have to search through for an opamp that works for you. They have some nice stripboard to work with that...

    $1000.00 of headphones

    With $1000 CDN ($870 american or so), i would stalk ebay for a Stax SRM-1/MK-2+Lambda pro combo (probably $650-700 american) and then get a zhaolu dac for a source. Hey, what do you know, its what i have . You could then just use the digital out of your computer, or get one of the soundcards...

    Who Is A Vegetarian?

    I used to be a vegetarian when i was young. Truthfully, it was because i was really stubborn and hated trying new foods. Then i started realizing that i was probably missing out on something, and worked my way up slowly, starting with chicken and sliced turkey. Today, i cant imagine a life not...

    What do you think of this wedding ring (for me)?

    Nah, dont lose the diamonds. But dont get a ring with diamonds all the way around. A man's ring should only have diamonds on the top. Personally, im a fan of three small diamonds in a row, embedded in a ring.
