My rediscovering of the YH-100:   It was 5 years ago when I purchased my YH-100s off craigslist for $20. From the get go, I was impressed, but I strove for more. I recabled, I dampened, I rehoused. In the end, the drivers and housings and all that work went into a little box, never to be...

I've gotta say that Seiko is a great choice for an auto if you don't mind having the "low end" connotation. I personally own only Seiko watches because I like the ubiquity of the parts and repair services along with the availability of high end pieces.   Victorinox is also really good in my...

Hey, just looking to see if anyone could tip me in one direction or the other.   I'm currently using a pentel 120 a3dx in .5mm for all my classes. It's been serving me really well but I'm getting the itch to go to a lead holder or at least a thicker lead. Is it wise for an engineering...

Firmware is the single biggest issue for any hardware. That'd be like asking for a car with the wrong timing.   It's been a big issue and it hasn't been resolved for months. The X3 is on the backburner for whoever is manufacturing and programming them. We've been sitting for months now...

It's sad seeing how such a promising product is having so much pre production issues. I hate seeing a good company like FiiO fall into the same problems that Meizu did with their iPhone knock offs. I just hope that this hits market before new years at this rate.

The stuff is pretty easy to cut. I ended up making tips and not encasing my headphones in the stuff because the re-0 has two back ports. I ended up just making the molds and then cutting them to fit as tips.   As for performance, my left ear mold didn't go deep enough so the seal isn't...

This was the most recent thread involving the radians and I just finished making a pair of new tips for my RE0. I've got to say they are a ton more comfy to the point that I'm paranoid that they aren't making a proper seal. No change in sound signature either. Sounds pretty much stock except for...

If you want a great watch under 300, look for a watch outlet store. I got my Seiko SS Black Samurai for 225 and my carbon fiber dial Sawtooth for 185. They were both cheaper than forum prices by at least 70 dollars. The outlet store between my parents home and my home has multiple watch brand...

Just curious, but how accurate is a tuning fork movement usually? Is it quartz-like?

So even with everyone's recommendations to get the Sumo, I couldn't get past the large numbering on the bezel insert and the fact that it looks ridiculously huge. Instead, I got the Stainless Samurai in black. I have got to say, it's quite the piece... modern, yet classy. now here's a...

Yeah, the air divers really good looking. I really liked it from the moment I saw it, but I think it's just too huge for my wrists (7.8 inches). I'm wearing a 44mm watch and not only does it look a little off to me, but it's uncomfortable. A 40mm size would actually be ideal IMO, I'm not a fan...

I like ball watches, but they are definitely not within my budget. Lookin for a poor man's watch. I'm wearing a fake (not homage) IWC from china right now because that's all I got. Keeps good time and looks somewhat nice, but it's the typical chinese 17 jeweled automatic.

thanks for clearing that up. I was unsure if the lume would be visible at all times which is why I thought it might get annoying after a while.

So I've been doing some looking around was wondering what people think of luminox watches. It seems like they'd be great for active use, but does the lume get annoying since it will always glow? I mean, it's the selling point for these tritium vial watches, but I want to see what it's like after...

i'd agree with the HJE900s as better just for the name brand factor. If you are giving a gift to a non-head-fi'er, you want to pick a brand people would feel comfortable with.

dunno if it works like this for you, but if you know someone who's willing... you can put your sale up for bid and dealers will duke it out among themselves to get you to buy from them. This is something that requires connections, but usually if you ask really nice like, your second cousin's...

barefoot year round at home. I go barefoot at home and I use my vibram fivefingers when I have the chance to (for walking, running, whatever). Right now it's way too cold though.

Rhydon is a skammerz, cheat, and full of dirty filthy little lies! At least he apologized rite gais? psh, calm down folks, you can sue him if you really feel like you're being cheated and have a real basis for it. Otherwise, pipe down, sit tight, and stop talking like you know better. It's...

we need nikongod pic now!

here's the real question... how many weeks would you hold onto one before you put it fs? or is it a keeper?

The best way to really season your wok is just to abuse it when cooking IMO. Cook hot and furious, toss and scrape all you want, and make sure you use enough oil for the early stages. I refinished my wok in the past year due to rust and here's how I got it back to good cooking...

is that a 00 gundam? or maybe the master grade exia?
