I have been a member of HF for a few years, and I was a lurker for several years before that, but lately I have found this site to be irritating and not worth digging for quality posts. My suggestion : New members must reach a predetermined amount of posts before they can start a new...

I am going to be picking up a Technics turntable and a vintage JVC receiver next week for my first foray into vinyl and need a recommendation on a good P-mount cartridge for under $100. Thanks for your help, I am totally clueless about vinyl...

I need to have pictures taken from an Air Traffic Control tower of the view (360 degrees around) from the tower. Total there needs to be about 8 photographs (to cover cardinal points) and they need to have to full detail of the city skyline in the daytime. We had some pictures taken and the...

I picked up The End's 2007 album "Elementary" on a whim a few weeks ago, listened to it in the car and chucked it on the CD rack dismissing it as a mediocre at best. I pulled it out when ripping all of my albums in iTunes the other day and have been listening to it in rotation with the new...

Maybe I can get some advise here since I don't even know where to start. My wife and I are finally going to get with the times and buy a large flat screen (since I wood veneer CRT is about to bite the dust.) With the TV I would like to upgrade our movie watching sound quality as well. We...

Pretty cool little set of tests with headphones required enjoy. Swedish Armed Forces Officer Tests

I don't care how trendy Underoath is considered, "Define the Great Line" was an amazing record, and I have been in anticipation of the new record for a while. I bought "Lost in the Sound of Separation" on Friday and am just getting my first chance to spend some good time with it and my...

I was wondering what the best open source software that will run on Vista is for ripping cd to mp3? I used to use a 'free' copy of Nero and really enjoyed it (interface, options, speed and ease of use), but I am trying to steer clear of the less than moral route. I just picked up a new laptop...

So having recently bought a laptop I've for some reason rediscovered Pandora while browsing the web on my couch. I've noticed that putting in a specific song or artist will start a really awesome station, while some of my favorite artists will start a terrible station. So here's the deal...

Does anyone know where I can get an Audio-Technica ATH-RE3? They don't seem to be available in the US except throught the site YesAsia.com, and I have no idea i they are a good vendor or not. Here is a link to the Japanese Audio-Technica site for the ATH-RE3

Hey Gear-Fi, I'm getting ready to head off to USAF ATC school and I need a basic laptop to browse the internet and listen to music. My budget is $400 max (self-imposed because I am saving for a wedding and I want to toss whats left over into athe savings account). I'm not interested in...

I just picked up a set of AudioTechnica ATH-EW9's from MicroCenter for a disgustingly good price and all I have to say is - this is what classical should sound like, eargasmic. As a warning to prevent gotta-have-its that are prevalant here on Head-Fi : These cans were not made to rock. They...

So, in foobar when you are clicking through the tracks, number 7 has this image : Anybody have any idea what kind of headphones Trent is wearing? I know this album is getting a lot of buzz here and this is Head-Fi, so we should know this right?

I finally found a copy of Frederik Thorandal's (Meshuggah frontman) side/solo project "Sol Niger Within" on this site : - Morgan Ågren Homepage -. From what I gather, this CD is out of print, but Morgan Agren was a collaborator on the album, and has a bunch of copies laying around. Anyway...

Is it possible to build an Alien DAC based on the Glass Jar Audio kit that has RCA outputs instead of TRS? Also as a follow up question, what kind of upgrades can be done on the Alien? I really want the best USB-in to RCA-out DAC I can get under $100 and I think DIY is going to be the way to...

...not wanted to discuss something on Head-Fi for fear of it becoming FOTM? That may sound like an odd question, but I've been thinking.... Take for example the STAX electrets. I've always wanted to try these, but everyone here says they are not worth over $100. If you get on eBay, these are...

I know there are some financially savvy Head-Fi'ers out there, so I wanted to get pointed in the right direction for getting started with online stock trading. I'm interested in starting really small (really, really small), just to get a taste and kind of get my footing. I'm not made of...

I don't really know how many people here are Aphex Twin fans, but if you like the musical stylings of Richard D. James, then you owe it to yourself to hear The Tuss' Rushup Edge. Why should you check this 6 song mini album out? Well, aside from the speculation that this is RDJ under another...

I spent several hours today at Guitar Center listening to different, I bought a beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80Ω and I think my search for a home headphone is over. After listening to several other mid-fi to low/hi-fi headphones, the DT770 really called out to me as my 'perfect' headphone. Having the...

My cat decided that the techflex covering of my free Power 3 would make a nice scratching post, so I decided to remove all the techflex and just leave the bare tubing below. Well I removed the techflex and was a bit disappointed at the build quality, so I Googled a few things. I found out...

After hearing the K2 HD sample of Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, I was hooked. So I did a bit of research to find a decent copy and I found this version: Reference Recordings Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances Eiji Oue conducting the Minnesota Orchestra I am almost positive it is the...

I started a new job last week that does not really allow me to do the 8 hours of straight headphone time like my old one did. Getting up and down from my desk all day, and having to keep an active ear for corporate types is not conducive to being strapped down So I need some recommendations...

I have been looking for ribbon cable similar to what STAX uses for their earspeakers, unfortunately a replacement cable from them is between $95 and $140... and I plan on cutting it up, so that's a little pricey for an experiment. I imagine that the STAX cables are pretty decent since I don't...

I LOVE the look of Grado headphones, woody cups, radio operator looks, steam punk goodness!! I remembered that there was a Sennheiser contest here recently... Then I was thinking "Man, I'd like a desktop wallpaper that had some Grados in it!" So here's a challenge for the photography minded...
