Colors is a great album, i can't wait for the next one.

I can't believe no one has posted any pics of their collections.

Just added to my collection a Kel-tec PF9, can't believe I found one. I was 12th on the waiting list at the store I usually buy from. I'll try and get some pics once I get a nice pocket holster for it.

If there were better ranges around where I live, I would be able to justify a rifle collection. I guess my wallet is thankful for this.

Just thought I'd show you guys the piece I bought a couple of months ago. Shoots like a dream. Its a springfield 1911 loaded in stainless steel.

I've only really listened to my AD900s with my EMU 0404 usb, which has a nice headphone amp. I think they would do great for the music you listen to. As for comfort, I can easily forget I have them on. They can get a little hot after having them on for 2+ hours, but I usually need a break by...

I use mediamonkey to convert my files to 192kpbs mp3s since I only have a 4Gb ipod nano. If you have one of the bigger ipods, the optimal solution would probably be to stick Rockbox on it and keep with the Flac.

As it has already been said, redundancy is the key. Make as many copies as possible, internal hard drives are so cheap now there really is no excuse not to have your important data on a raid array. If you are going to go with a hard drive solution, I recommend having the data stored in at least...

dbPowerAmp ripping to Flac, really easy to use and very fast too. Flac is the free lossless audio codec, and since its a loseless audio format it is a great choice.

got a link for the changelog for the updated drivers? I'm pretty sure I never got around to updating the drivers off their site.

MS-1s are great for metal, I had the hd414 reversed with the quarter mod. I like the hd414s more than the stock pads and the quarter mod really boosts clarity, but it raises the high end a little too much for my taste.

The A500s are pretty good entry level cans for the money, they can hold their own pretty well in their price range (my AD900s kill them however). If you can afford the 700 series, it would be a good step up over the 500. The 500s are extremely comfortable and do sound great however.

40 bucks sound a whole lot better than eardrum replacement surgery, but thats just me.

I just got my AD900s and I like them a whole lot more than my other cans. They are more punchy and I love how "open" they are compared to my A500s and they dont have the overpowered highs like my MS-1s

I've been looking into getting a proper speaker setup, I have the z-680s setup in surround in a relatively small room. It works way too well for gaming, then I have my headphones for music. I've always been more inclined to piece together a system myself that get a HTiB.

the shipping was relatively fast when I ordered pads from sennheiser, it was no longer than 3-4 days for sure.

those are some nice cups, I love the look of finished wood.

You could argue the same thing with the people that spend 2000 on a gaming computer then just pirate the games.

wish I had wood, metal is almost as good right? RIGHT?

is it worth updating the asio component? I'm still running foobar2000 version 0.9.4.2 and asio 1.2.5

good to know I will be able to continue to use my 0404 usb in the future if some apocalypse happens that makes me switch my music computer to vista.
