Their have been some QA problems with the TRUE-120s, however, they have since for the most part been resolved. It came from the mounting system they had, it was far too loose and was causing an improper mount. As for the bases, every base will have some, thus the reason why many people lap them...

For the most part the most common knives on the market are going to be German Origin atleast (not necessarily manufactured there though), Benchmade makes a nice set of chef knives incidentally. Chef knives are good to go in regards to cutting thin bones like a chicken bone or something...

I think that we have kinda gotten off topic here. The whole point of my assertion was that if you are buying a knife you have to look at the comfort as well as the blade material and what comes with that ie: Maintenance, Durability as well as longevity (my apprehension towards Wusthof is that...

As I read over this there is one bit of advice I have for you: Make sure you can sharpen the knife you buy. This is important as some have stated, the harder the metal (stainless) the more difficult it will be get an edge on it (however, the longer the edge will last). The softer (carbon) the...

Well, you have a couple options here. Professionally speaking, I believe that the home cook needs a couple knives of which being: 6" Prep Knife, Carving Knife, Bread Knife, Paring Knife and if you do a lot of cooking perhaps a chef knife (8" probably). I wouldn't recommend a full chef knife...

I would recommend the Chimei CMV 22ID-NBC, pretty cheap and looks gorgeous. I have had mine for about 8 months now and it's great. I have no dead pixels and the clarity, color and brightness of the monitor is great. Very fast refresh rate and is priced great. Highly under-rated in my opinion...

Through out this thread there have been many who have said that AudioCubes is not practicing good customer service. And the question of customer service in a day and age of big box stores has come up. I would like to preface what I am about to say with my experience with customer service. For...

I bought it, if only for the woman...from what I've read and the way she rants about it, I think it should be good.

That's what's terrible, because I know that the little things that I improve such as my DAC, getting and amp and like will only point out all the flaws in the previous things (such as the bitrate or media)...and then I have to improve those and then that will point out another flaw in the set-up...

So my A900s arrived today. I am extremely happy with them at this time. However, these are definitely showing every flaw in my system...I am now really thinking I need a new sound card (currently onboard) and an amp. The thing that amazes me is that I find myself turning down the volume on...

You don't know nonsense till you hear Wesley Wills... However, he is dead so I don't think he can make the list.

Olive oil comes in a couple types: Extra Virgin, Virgin, Pure, Olive Oil, and Pomace. It refers to the presses of the olives. Extra Virgin is the first press, Virgin the second. Both are pure oils from the olives. Pure is simply pure olive oil and not blended and then when you get down lowers...

I don't believe that what Cans have more cons than IEMs, it simply a matter of preference. Cans are far more conspicuous than IEMs, in some cases rather uncomfortable, more difficult to drive off of particular DACs and will require the use of an amp to realise the full potential. However...

I have to shave everyday for work...and at this point in my life my hair grows at a rate which (24 hours later) when I need to shave it just thick, rough stubble. For the longest time I looked for the perfect shave, I've come close. My Method: Wash and rinse face under hot water while...

My background is in food, I find that a drizzle of olive oil in most things not only looks nice but adds to the overall flavors. However, keep in mind if you make your own dressings olive oil can overpower. Olive oil + fresh mozzarella + heirloom tomatoes = Heaven
