Hey, does anyone know how to unbind the history back/forwards (for your browser) buttons (usually mouse5 & mouse4) so that they don't have any function?

Alright, I just received my 936 clone from web-tronics.com also known as circuit specialists with 2 additional .8mm tips. This thing completely trounces any other iron I have used (ratshack/portasol corldless). The temperature adjustment is extremely helpful and the iron maintains a consistant...

Hey, as all of you probably know, everyone likes eye-candy of the new amp you just built, the newly released audio player, or headphones... Does anyone have suggestions on how to take great pictures that look really nice? I have a Canon s410 4mp camera and my pics are mediocre at best...

Hey what's the best way to twist 2 wires so that the twist remains constant throughout the wire? Whenever I try, there are always area where the twists are much more concentrated than others.

Wow, I went to check out what the ebaumsworld forums were like after reading a comment about them in abother thread... All I have to say is that place is the largest concentration of screwed up, prepubescent kids that you will find. Some of the people there are simply unbelievable. Example...

Hey, I'm looking for reccomendations for electronic music (trance, techno, electronica, dance etc. ) I think a characteristic I like is the gradual buildup until it gets to the point where you just want to get up and do something. Some particular songs that I currently like are: Pete...

Hey, I am considering both of these headphones for use with smooth music that has a certain degree of finesse to them. I have a pair of DT531s on the way for music with more impact. Even though from what I have read, K501s are normally compared to headphones in their price range, I was wondering...

Hey, I am interested in building an amp for the Beyer DT-880s or the Senn HD-600s that I am planning to buy. I have looked into detail at the PPA amp, but I'm not sure what else is out there. Are there any other amps that can make these cans sound good and be reasonably feasible for an...

Hey all, it's finally time to upgrade my Meta42 + MDR-V6 setup... After having this setup for several months, I think it is time for an upgrade... I found the V6s to be quite fatiging (fatiguing?) and hard to listen to for long periods of time (30mins +) My price range for this new...

Alright, I need some way to switch the output of my source (tosh dvd) between my panny receiver (powers speakers) and my headphone amp (currently a meta42) Since I don't have a turn-table, multiple inputs are not needed. I just need an easy way to switch from speaker listening to headphone...

Hey, im wondering which combo would sound better, the Beyer DT880s with a marantz 1060, or the CD3000 s with my portable meta42 listed in my sig? I;m looking to upgrade from my V6s as my source outclasses my headphones

This is the system I am working towards building. I have the NEC, and the di/o is on the way. I plan to purchase the x-can v2 and CD3K / CD3000 over the course of about a year (CD3K before x-can). This is the system I plan to build: NEC CD-ROM transport -> Art di/o -> Chiarra -> MDR-CD3K...

Woohoo!, i got my NEC drive in the mail today,and at this point I am impressed, the headphone out sounds at least equal to my other combinations, (mobo soundcard -> meta42, ipod). I have not had a chance to test the audio out yet, becuase I do not have the proper cables or adapters to hook it up...

How does the line-out of the D-303 compare to that of standalone CD players in the sub $500 range?

hey all, im in the market for a new HD mp3 player. I currently have an imp-350. Now i have been loooking at the new 10gb ipod and have heard that the sound quality is not as good as the previous generations or as good as the nomad zen... Now im definately not as hardcore as some as the members...
