A guy in Taiwan bought it for 18,000 taiwan dollars, which is like 620USD

Wow I just got back to the States from Hong Kong and read about this thread. I read about his excuse, breaking into his home to threaten violence in Sai Kung, Hong Kong? Come on now Hong Kong is not that uncivilized. I am on the skeptical side. I will be going back to HK in two months to work...

The store is in Hong Kong. Are they going to refund you the money, need me to help out?

I would recommend against cutting at the connector portion. Instead you should solder at the wire region, may be leave half an inch of wire. That half an inch of wire isn't going to completely negate the mod. I did it this way using canare starquad and the improvement is really noticiable. Also...

If you are doing Computer Science, EE, chemistry, biology, then definitely should consider UW. The buildings are amazing plus there are many networking you can get (think Microsoft). On the other hand, the other departments are really underfunded. I am in Economics and my department is giant...

I just got my Epiphone Les Paul Custom

Brian Peppers? google if you don't know who.

It could take over a month if it's sent via Parcel Post from my experience. But it is unreasonable for the seller to not respond to your emails. File dispute on Paypal first.

I didn't really do the calculation, but I thought the banker's offer is the expected value of the brief case?

I had the hd580 and hd650 and were contemplating which one to get rid of. For me, the hd580 highs and lows goes deeper, but the overall sound is more coarse. I went with the hd650 because he was more musical and easier to listen.

Just buy a couple RCA to 1/4" adapters and use your usual rca cables. They are dual mono output.

I tried the t-amp with my vr-1 and they make my speakers sound very thin. I think it is fairly overrated due to its cheap price, or may be I didn't use a custom power supply. How about Pioneer Elite A-35R? You should be able to get it from Ebay under $150, they pop up once in a while.

Fixing it yourself should be the last resort. I would go through the UPS claims first. If that doesn't work, ask the seller to compensate or refund.

A slight digression, when do you guys decide to buy a decent guitar? I've been just learning on my own for a little over 2 years. Right now I want to indulge myself with an Epiphone Les Paul Custom. http://cgi.ebay.com/Gibson-Epiphone-...QQcmdZViewItem Should I? It can be my...

I am addicted to Nana after watching the movie and read the manga 1-13. The movie did a really good job. Miki nakashima looks so cool in the movie. Some characters in Nana piss me off though.

I am trying to study for the GRE. With the computerized test, you can't skip over questions, so that's kinda difficult because you are forced to spend even time on each question. It's essential to get the first couple questions correct in order to move up to the higher score questions I was...

Just wondering if anyone in Japan can help me buy a CD from yahoo.co.jp auction. The sellers don't ship international. I've found everywhere and still can't find the CD.

My friend went back to hong kong last week via Northwest. THey wouldn't let him bring his acoustic guitar and his violin as carry on. He didn't have a hard case on the guitar but luckily both survived. So definitely treat the guitar as if it has to be check in. Last year when I and a friend went...

http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....ywords=invicta Invicta watches look similar to Tag but doesn't cost you a lot. May be that's your best bet.

Thanks! And for the power supply. I wire V_in as + and s2 as - right?

Few questions I have: About the placement of the BUF634, they should be placed so the BB logos are facing toward each other right? can I use the R/L-Pot_out to connect to the headphone or do I have to use left_out right_out? They seem so far apart? If I use it as a pre-amp, is it...

how large of a place are you guys looking for? I might be able to get an abandoned apartment (900 squared feet) next to BCC if my friend who's leaving couldn't find someone to take over the lease.
