    Current deal on Velodyne cans at newegg

    Great deal for a set of decent toss around cans. This is my second set because my daughter keeps "using" my first set. https://flash.newegg.com/product/9SIA38N1068567 They are rather "bassy" and recessed mids/highs but for $10 shipped they are good for a set you dont have to worry about if...

    What has happend to this hobby?

    It would seem to me it has become a monster. A quick look at the for sale forums tells alot...amps for sale are way up there. Is it possible that the voyage to nirvana of sound cannot be bought? I think alot of the high dollar stuff is more snake oil than many think (or hope). I know so many...

    Anyone watching Master Chef Junior?

    I type this during the 4th or 5th show and I am sorry but I cannot believe this group of 8 to 12 year old kids have the "talents" they show. The show I am currently watching has the kids cooking in a restaurant kitchen serving a lunch. First off I am a former cook with quite a few years behind...

    Elvis

    This past week was the anniversary of his death. I myself am 54 yo and remember his music well....I have some favorites. His style was undoubtedly unique at the time and his fan base was vast. I must say however that going with "imitation is the greatest form of flattery" I can't recall anyone...

    Anyone here have Pandora plus?

    I am curious to find out if the audio quality is that much better than the free version. I have listened to the sample on the website and not knowing if it is a lossless file to begin with it could be misleading. I am loving the service and will probably spend the $36 anyway due to the excellent...

    McCartney "Kisses On The Bottom" impressions

    First off his voice is showing it's age but still sounds lovley...it may have something to do with the style of the music. The style I would describe as laid back lounge. One thing that grates me is the brushes on the snare, sounds like intense tape his at times So far I feel My Valintine is the...

    Taket-BPP...anyone try this?

    There is a advert for this thing here on Head-Fi.....check it out. In short it is a super tweeter that attatches to the headphone jack with a splitter and the manufacturer claims it will enhance the highs by being absorbed through your face!

    Any candle makers out there?

    I have been looking into starting in this hobby. With the research I have done online it seems that it's cheaper to purchase pre-made candles than to make them yourself. Another question is, the wax....soy or parrifen? If someone can post a link to a good site with reasonable starter kits it is...
