Here are some shots of my living room and humble audio setup.   The desk with computer/gaming/headphone equipment:   speaker setup:   closeup of some gear:   and some shelves, which my media collection has begun to outgrow:

Phish is live streaming their show in Chicago tonight, and I noticed the drummer put on a pair of Grados for a marimba lumina solo during Scent of a Mule.  They looked like GS1000s to me, or maybe RS1s.  Did anyone else catch this and identify which model he was wearing?

Excellent sound quality and excellent jam:  

I use the Sennheiser PC360's with an Astro Mixamp for gaming on the Xbox.  It's a great setup.   Check out this behemoth of a thread for (lots) more info:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/534479/mad-lust-envys-headphone-gaming-guide-updated-7-28-2012-external-microphone-section-added  

Okay, so I received the Astro Mixamp yesterday morning, and I've been playing Call of Duty all weekend with the PC360/Mixamp combo.  I've had no issues with the mic now that I'm using the Mixamp, so that's good news.   I'm still developing an opinion on Dolby Headphone.  I was quite...

Excellent, thanks for the reply.  That gives me a lot more hope that my PC360s will work with the Mixamp.   I actually ordered the Mixamp primarily to try to get the microphone working, and secondarily for the voice/game balance adjustment (since chat is virtually impossible to hear in MW3...

No thoughts on potential causes?  I've contacted Sennheiser and Microsoft regarding this issue, and neither was helpful.  Sennheiser won't acknowledge it as a legitimate problem since the PC360 is not designed specifically for use with the Xbox.  Microsoft just told me to contact the...

This can be a very contentious topic, but I'll throw my two cents in.  Toslink carries a digital signal, much like USB.  As long as the cable is of reasonable quality and data is being transferred, no, there won't be any difference.

It's been quite a while since I last posted, but I'm in need of some advice.  I recently purchased a Sennheiser PC360 headset to use for Xbox gaming.  I'm fully aware that the PC360 is designed for PC and not console gaming, but I figured I'd at least try to get it working, since it's a very...

I generally had a positive high school experience. I did very well academically, made a few friends, and had a great family to come home to every day. Do I miss high school? Not at all. The prospect of growing up and assuming all the responsibilities of being an adult is pretty scary to think...

Wow, I guess I did overestimate how often people actually read an entire thread before posting in it. To the OP, the suggested tactics should work well. Once you say the word "sue" the person on the other end of the phone will be much more willing to put an end to the calls, or they'll...

I don't think anyone has mentioned frat parties. They have the exact same noise problem as bars. When I was a freshman, I went to frats on the weekends thinking it would be a good place to socialize, drink beer, and meet some people. Nope. I remember the first party I went to. I walked in and I...

You have a hobby, and that's worth more than your friend's ability to buy expensive headphones that he won't appreciate.

Hmm, I'm from Needham, and my term does end this Friday (my school does 4 terms instead of 2 semesters). I'll try to make it, but it depends when I can find a ride back from school. Edit: I'd certainly be willing to bring anything from my sig, with the exception of the turntable and speakers.

I like the idea man. There's nothing like having a space with which you can do whatever you want, and nobody will bother you about it. I'm not so hot on the idea of walking back into the house to use the bathroom, but I suppose that's a modest compromise for what you're getting in exchange. I...

I would love to see the metric system as the standard in the US. But, like most people, I don't know if I'd want to go through the transition. In the manufacturing industry, there are drawings still in use from many decades ago for which there have not been digital copies made in CAD yet. To...

Yeah, I'm aware of the "Get Album Art" feature, but I like to have higher quality images than the ones that provides.

Aha, I solved it. It seems that when I do the google image search and browse through the thumbnails looking for a high quality one, simply right clicking and saving the thumbnail does not get the full size version. I'm not sure if this is something that changed with google or if in the past I...

I've been using iTunes to add album art to my music for quite some time now, as it's quick and easy. Recently, however, I started having an issue with it. Typically when I rip a new CD with iTunes (in Apple Lossless), I'll do a google image search for the album art, save it to a folder on my...
