Hi there, I walked into a very high-end electronics store today looking for a relatively cheap receiver to power a 5.1 system. Video components are not really important to me because this won't be used with a TV. The guy said that there was nothing good-but-cheap, but there were a few...

Well, here's my story. I did a bunch of research, and based on my music tastes, decided to try the E3s to see if canal phones are for me. Now, the best seal I can get is with the foamies, but here is the problem: on the box it says 6 pairs flex sleeves (S, M, L) and 3 pairs foam sleeves (S...

I had the most vivid dream I've ever experienced last night. I died brutally, in a very odd way. Remember the game Lemmings, when one could merely press the "nuke" button and all the creatures would blow up in 5 seconds? I died that way. I was trying to rescue my brother who was being taken...

Alright, I really have nowhere else to turn to, and I've been reading to forum for a long time and admire so many of its patrons. As well, because this is the internet and anonymity is unhindered, I figure I can shoot this question out in the air without fear of judgement or persecution. Now...

I am going to meet them tomorrow for about half an hour and need to know some questions to ask them. Anyone know anything about this band, or just have any good questions in general to ask a semi-famous rock band who writes about the end of the world by robots? Thanks in advance.

I'm going treeplanting up north this summer, and am not going to chance my Ipod for two months in such trecherous conditions. I do, though, need my music, so I was thinking of buying a decent-sounding, yet very durable PCDP, or maybe two if the price is right. Now, the sound doesn't have to...

I LOVE THIS SONG! I have listened to it over and over and over again for days and I can't get tired of it. Is there any other music like that, or is this just the most unique movie and music in the world? Thanks.

I'd like some suggestions to artists similar to songs like Counting Crows - Colorblind or Sarah Slean - Sweet Ones. Thanks, Trounce

Just bought it. Like it much after a first listen. Anyone heard this Canadian "masterpiece" yet?

On July 3rd, I'm leaving for London, England for a three-week backpacking vacation with my friend. I have just turned 18. Now, my itinerary is such, but nothing is set in stone: England: 7 days Wales: 4 days Paris: 5 days Amsterdam: 5 days We can mix it up/add/subtract as we see fit...

Hey guys, I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I looked in the archives and couldn't find a thing. I need a link to a rock review site that was posted here some time ago. It had a LOT of obscure artists, and, if I recall correctly, gave Trail of Dead's 'Source Tags and Codes' a 10/10. I...

I love the songs he did for the Matrix Soundtracks, but was wondering if there were any other artists with similarly bombastic styles of techno. Thanks

I have a 24v regulated EPSAC (or whatever) PS for my META, and there is a constant amount of low-level noise even at the lowest volume with no ICs connected. Is this normal for a power supply, and if so, is there anything short of a line conditioner to fix it? Thanks.

Any fans of this band? I've always liked their single 'Pure Morning', thought it was a few minutes of british androgynous genious. Today I got their new album, 'Sleeping with Ghosts', a more introspective venture with some awesome brit-pop tunes. I'd definitely recommend gving the title track a...

Does it really matter anymore? I have had the MP3s for the past 2 months. The album just won't surprise me when I buy it. It won't be something I've never heard. And the quality will hardly be improved over the 192kb/s MP3s we all have. Now, it will be nice to listen to the album on our nice...

This is a very difficult topic to discuss, as I've always felt incredibly self-conscious about my thinning hair. The problem remains, though, is that I have experienced it at such an early age: I am turning 18 years old in a month. My father went bald at 29, and said he did it with grace, but...

You know, I'd love to use these low-ohm, low-imprint phones as portables, but it just so happens that the damn cord is 6m long and it terminates with a 1/4inch plug. Now, I understand this is designed for use with a DVD player (it comes with a 6m extension cord, for a total of 12m or 40 feet!)...

Well, I'm loving the electronica/guitar jam sound of this album, and am wondering what other LPs have similar qualities. I am a sucker for an awesome jam, especially a spacey, mind-trippy one like the ones on this album. I find that his Blow by Blow stuff is rather hard to listen to because it's...

I've watched Buffy every Tuesday at 8 since its first season. This season, though, I found that one of the maritime channels (Nova Scotia) got the new episodes one day early, Monday at 8. So that's why I get to see the new episodes one day early. I'm not going to spoil the plot for the few...

Well, in a word... no. But it's damn close. So close that I had to reevaluate OK Computer after hearing the (supposed) mastered version of Thief last night. In my opinion, the new album is more consistent. There isn't a dud on the album except for The Gloaming. And it flows better from song...

Let's get a list going. I'm sure there are a bunch of good ones. What I mean by Jazz/Prog Fusion are elements of both, but the music has to be wordless. Recent ones I've found are: Ozric Tentacles Mahavishnu Orchestra Gordian Knot Brand X (Phil Collins' side band just after...

Well, my family has always been an Irish Wolfhound family, as we got one when I was a little lad, and we're onto our second now. His name is Baron, he is 15 months old and 120lbs. The average male size is 165lb, so he's a little small, but that's fine. He's so cute and we love him! So, what...

Well, I just got my 10gb Ipod and when I go into the "About" menu, it says "Capacity" is 9.2G and I have 6.8G "Available". What does that mean? I checked in windows explorer for non-mp3s downloaded to the hard drive, but there is nothing. What does this mean? Thanks.

As seen in my post below, my subwoofer stopped working today. In my instruction manual, it says check to see if the fuse is blown. I took it out and it says to check to see if the filament is in place. If it is out of place, the fuse is blown. Well, I'm looking and I see a silver piece of...

I had the Altec Lansing 641s but the speakers suck so I just used the subwoofer, which was actually pretty good, if a little boomy. I'm listening to a song, and the bass is nice and smooth, everything's ok. The next thing I know, there's nothing. No smoke, no sound, nothing. It just stopped...
