This month is a good one for DirecTV subscribers. On channel 124 they're doing six different FreeView concerts this month. Playing every day: U2, Vertigo Tour (no location given in the description) John Mayer Trio, Bowery Ballroom in NYC in November Collective Soul in Atlanta with the...

Hi all, One of my amps is a buffered CMoy in an Altoids tin. It's one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5823354949 Yesterday I walked in on my son playing with it. He had the input jack connected to the output jack. I immediately unplugged the cable, but best as I...

I've been away from Head-Fi for a while now, and because of that I have to play catchup a bit here. History: I currently own two portable amps: a JMT-built CHA-47 amp utilizing a pair of OPA2134 in an Altoids tin, and a CMOY amp with a single OPA2227 in a round Altoids tin I picked up on...

Warning: This post is pretty darn long. I mean, REALLY long. I only ask that if you want to read any of it, you take the time to read it all. If your attention span is limited, feel free to move on to some other shorter topic. Thanks. Explanation Somebody asked me (offline) what I meant in...

Okay, so I was trying to make a point about thread placement in the new architecture. I picked a thread that I recognized as a good example of the ambiguity here with the additions of "Take It Outside" and "Certifiably Inane," williamgoody's "Talk Radio" thread. I picked it because reasonable...

Hi all, I'm looking for some recommendations for speakers with the following specs: Small; something smaller than a pair of Paradigm Atoms, if possible. Efficient, as they'll be used with a low-power (5 watt) amplifier. Approx. 5 ohms Inexpensive. Very important. These aren't for...

I caught John Mayer in Syracuse on November 20, and I'd really like to find a recording of the show. His taping policy is here: http://www.johnmayer.com/tapingpolicy.html So, does anybody have any idea where I could find this show? I'd also like to find the September 8 and September 14...

Well, I haven't been around for a while, but I figured I'd find out if anybody else got sucked into this timekiller: http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~p...h/miniputt.swf

Well, which is it? I'm starting to like polls more and more...

Hey, I've got an idea! Why not have a poll about what *brand* of headphone you use third most often on Friday nights? That would be great!

What's going on??? markl started this thread, and I replied... markl's post is missing, and mine is here. But when you look at the forum as a whole, it says this question has no replies. Weird!!! I think the server is hosed...

http://news.com.com/2100-1023-817937.html Bravo.

I have not had a skipping or dropout problem at all with this player, or with the used D-25 I picked up later. I definitely would have mentioned it in the review if I had any such problem. These players have all been sitting for at least 9 years. It's not surprising to me that a certain...

Okay, I'm about at the end of my patience. I bought the Grado SR-80s because I like the way they sound for hard rock discs, and because they're easy to drive, unlike my Sennheiser HD580s. I've been more than happy with the sound quality overall. But this #^@# cord is driving me nuts. The...

Hi, all. I have three Hansen boards and will (eventually) be building a CMOY amp. I know little about amplifier circuit design (as will become obvious when I actually get to my question), but I was hoping this project would be a learning experience for me. Anyhow, I took apart my Onkyo...

Sony D-25S Discman With brief comparisons to the Panasonic SL-CT570 All text and photography Copyright (c) 2001, by Russell A. Arcuri. Introduction The Sony D-25 was Sony's flagship portable CD player from 1989 - 1992. At that time, it cost about $320. My roommate in college had one...

Okay, here are the only rules for this poll. Please only vote in it if you have actually listened to both headphones. The idea for this poll was a result of the small feud I got into on this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showth...5&pagenumber=1 Thanks!

I plan on doing a full review of the Sony D-25S portable player sometime within the next week or so. These are being sold on eBay as new "old stock" by a company from CA called "Silicon Salvage." They were sold as new players from 1989 - 1992, and (apparently) these have been in storage for a...

Note: I typed this up originally as a response to Joe Bloggs on this thread. However, I realized that the info might be useful to others, so I'm posting it here. This is also fair warning so you don't wonder why I'm referring (in a couple places) specifically to Joe. --- I received my JMT...

I picked up a pair of Koss Sporta Pros for 11.95 at Circuit City yesterday. The package had been opened and re-packed, but it was not listed as "open box." Plus, the display had that price listed as the regular price. I don't know if it was a mistake on the part of that particular CC, or if...
