    Something's Coming: song of ice and fire coming to hbo!

    http://www.variety.com/article/VR111...goryid=14&cs=1 This is a dream come true, and in the best form I ever thought possible outside of a straight up big budget miniseries format! And with Martin himself writing the script! And I thought dresden files coming to sci-fi would be a treat...

    My new tall speaker stands

    I have some rather largish speakers, over a foot wide and over 16 inches deep, each weighing around 50-60lbs. I needed them on high stands, just over 30 inches tall. I saw no commercial offerings that came close for under $400 as a starting price and probably with cost prohibitive shipping, and...

    Pride Grand Prix Open Weight

    A night of great fighting. No real upsets, but while watching the fights, there were some great comebacks and surprising gasses. Well, perhaps not that surprising.

    Sara Gazarek

    Check her out, people. I saw her live on friday night and it was a really fun time. Half new compositions, half new arrangements of old standards, and they're really fun rearrangements, combining both reharmonizations, metric shifts, and light stylistic shifts. It's vocal jazz + piano trio (Josh...

    Looking for an old Walkure

    I need a pre '45 recording of Walkure for a paper I'm considering writing. The older the better, actually. I picked up the Naxos '38 from reading several posts by resident gurus, but it won't be here for a few days and time is short. Are there any other goodies but oldies that are readily...

    TUF2 (Ultimate Fighter) Finale

    Hrmph. Better than the first by a long shot. Who woulda guessed? Too bad the season had some real dud fights, but this more than made up for it. And, again, some of the crowd just disgust me. Who are those people? Last fight of the night gave reconfirmed my distrust of the panels judging...

    Warm deal on cheap floorstanding speakers for HT

    http://shop3.outpost.com/product/400...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG Not the $99 I got them for, but...that's why I said warm, not hot. I put my cheapo JVC receiver (not my digital one) on midnight mode and it sounds pretty darn ok. Deal for the price, for sure. I personally don't feel the need for a...

    Two grado sightings at UCLA in as many days

    Not a common sight. I'm in the music department and everyone either uses cheap buds or cheap cans. I saw an asian guy using what looked like SR-80's at the arcade in the student union yesterday, and a white guy with what looked like SR-225's today walking around Pauley. 'sthat any of you?

    Which DAPs can hold 10gb+ and register as mass media storage devices?

    I decided that to maximize efficiency, I should get a DAP that would also double as a portable hdd. Every time I find something that looks good to me (good price, good storage capability, good battery life) it has problems with registering as a mass media storage device without additional...

    I guess you don't want to use maggies with the JVC digital amps

    http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/v...=122206#122206 Quote: Yesterday, I received my Maggie MMG's. Put old Peter Tosh on again...this time, due to power hungry Maggies, need about '30' for appoximate same volume. 2 cuts - poof. No sound. 'Stand By' still on, so good. Wait 10...

    A few Jazz JEWELS that I stumbled across

    Benny Green Trio - Testifyin'! I picked this one up a couple days ago off of amazon. This trio is bang on target. Benny Green has very good technical chops and really knows his stuff on piano. Christian McBride on bass is...well, he's the way he always is Carl Allen on drums surprised me...

    Value of resistor on a fan to quiet it down?

    Hey guys. I have a fan inside my receiver blowing on the power supply (I think) that is just a bit too loud for my tastes. I was thinking of either buying a more quiet fan or to just put a resistor in series. However, I have no idea what value to use for the resistor. I've tried disconnecting...

    Hook up any DAC straight to your computer via USB sans soundcard?

    Here's a pretty expensive option but has some great flexibility features: http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/v...er=asc&start=0 You could hook your dac up to your laptop no problem. A good soundcard like an RME or lynx would cost you way more than this mod. Of course, it could be said that a...

    Brief Impressions: MBOW1 DIY speakers designed by Dennis Murphy

    General First Impression Even with my current amplification chain (wooaudioI and power section of NAD integrated that none of you bought) these speakers are detailed, detailed, detailed. The very first thing I noticed was that the presentation was completely different from my NHT Pro powered...

    emu patchmix fx - anyone played with them? It's got parametric eq in there

    I'm dumb for waiting this long before figuring this out, and I'm sure a bunch of you guys have already tried this out. Patchmix has parametric eq filters built into it. Unfortunately, the corner frequency limits itself at 80hz at the low end. I haven't tried the upper limit yet. If you need...

    Best cheap way to seal a subwoofer's ports?

    I thought I would be able to find some large rubber stoppers or corks, but Lowes and Home Depot let me down big time. I couldn't even find any 10" rubber gaskets!! Ok, ok, I'm just kidding at being surprised at that one. Anyone know? I've got 2 3" diameter ports. I'm currently using 2 old...

    Construction pics of some acoustic absorption panels

    I'm posting this here just in case anyone is interested. These were constructed after reading many of Ethan Winer's posts and articles and a few tips taken from Jon Risch's diy panel trap. I call it the "Ghetto Panel." Fiberglass: 48 sq.ft. 3lb. pcf 2" Certainteed brand rigid fiberglass...

    Phase characteristics of different software? (speakers only)

    Anyone play with theirs just to figure it out? I'm always running test tones on my system to try to get the best integration between my subwoofer and my mains. For the longest time, I used WinISD's signal generator. I would run the signal down and try to match phase and amplitude. A few weeks...

    Emu 1212m game sounds stopping

    Sorry, I'm sure this is a repost but I can't seem to find it anywhere with the search. I'm playing a game and the sound suddenly cuts out completely. In a minute or so, all the sounds come rushing back for a split second in fast forward and then resume, only to cut out again a short while...

    What's a good source selection switch?

    I'm looking to get a new source selection switch. The one I currently have doesn't snap into position too cleanly, often leaving me with a mono signal going to the left channel only. I need a four position selector. Thanks guys.

    Anyone know good places to get CHEAP fiberglass panels in LA?

    Many people have said that room treatment for speakers is the best bang for buck tweak, or at least one of the best bang for buck tweaks. For example, David Chesky uses traps and panels in his studios, wouldn't record without them! He likes room treatment. Unfortunately, most room treatment...

    Just saw a fellow at ucla with portapros

    Hey, not every day you see one of these things around in public It was in my Bach class, he came in and sat to my right. I meant to ask where he got the phones, but didn't really get a chance. Actually, this is the first time I saw these phones in use outside of my immediate family and friends
