Quote: I almost bought some of that once. The packaging caught my eye and I mis-read the price tag... When he rang me up I was floored. That four pack of smallish bottles went back on the shelf. I would still love to try it someday but it's going to have to wait.

It's a bit of nitpicking Trenchev but you might want to swap the position of the large bulk caps with the small caps so that they are closer to the input and output of the LDO (assuming that you laid the circuit out similarly to the schematic). If the schematic is different than the actual...

I can't believe no one has mentioned:   Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms   Or for something a little lighter:   The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song   The Decemberists have several tracks I believe qualify as "epic", especially on The Crane Wife.

I thought of this one a few days ago:   Attack Ships on Fire off the Shoulder of Orion   Our fans will know us as ASFSO or probably just Attack Ships. Clearly we will play some fairly nerdy Indie Alt-Folk rock (whatever that means).

Even worse, it will all be in Vincent's imagination...

I tried Rogue's American Amber Ale and Blue Point's Spring Fling Ale tonight. Both were quite drinkable and enjoyable, but I believe that I am officially done with American ales. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the common denominator between most American ales is a musty flavor that I...

It's funny. I'm annoyed by just about everything you all are mentioning. The one thing I haven't noticed though is slow-down. Load times seem pretty snappy to me so it must be at least a little platform dependent. Using Windows 7, Firefox 3.6.3.

A question for Ferrari.   What are you using to make your traces on the underside of the board. Many of the connections seem too long and or too perfect to simply be device leads.

They use American Apparel shirts and I actually do like the quality and feel. Sizing is a little weird but the company makes clothes for hipsters so that's not unexpected. Prints are good quality and will stay true to color if you are smart with how you wash (ie cold water, inside out, etc.).

I've been over 40 mph on some nice downhills and it was an amazing feeling. Not for those lacking confidence though as any panic can send you to your doom.

In the final sprint of last year's Tour de France, Mark Cavendish supposedly hit around 75 kph after a good lead in. That's over 46 mph and on a flat road. He's one of the fastest guys on the planet for those sprints. You can go way faster on a downhill.

As I am sure FA is aware, most of the reviews on that site have historically been written by head-fi members.

I was just wondering if any Lost fans here caught the interesting musical reference in tonight's (3/16) episode. Somewhere about halfway through the episode when Locke reached out a hand to help Kate up, Giacchino quite clearly quoted the vulgarized idea fixe from the fifth movement of Berlioz'...

Fellow headfiers, although I never made a formal announcement, I'm not that narcissistic and you all don't know me that well, the fiance and I are planning a wedding. We are torn on the issue of a photographer and I was hoping to enlist your collective opinions. We are torn between two...

Believe it or not, Target often has audio related t-shirts that can be pretty cool. I've bought a few of them. And they are usually between 10 and 15 dollars.

Never heard of Nellie, but if she's like Regina I'll have to check her out.

Another one for In Rainbows here. As far as meeting or exceeding expectations, I think we all know how that one went.

Well, I don't actually know that much about monitors. But for what its worth, I have a T260HD and I think its great for the money. It's clear, smooth and bright with good movie performance as well as typical computer activities. The few complaints I could make relate more to its performance as a...
