I just jumped onto my photobucket account to upload some pics, and saw that there was a "girls with headphones" picture contest going on on the home page. Here is the link to the page: Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

Any suggestions? The best headset I've ever owned was a cheap wired full boom headset. By far the quietest I've ever used. The bluetooth ones I've tried are horrendously loud in noisy environments. I've noticed these two: Joby Zivio Etymotic Research Etyblu The boom on the Joby looks...

Graphene Graphene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A ridiculously strong, conductive and apparently stable material produced in labs, is stronger than titanium, more flexible than steel, and is conductive enough to be touted as the future replacement for the modern microchip. The first...

THE BACON EXPLOSION Had this linked to me a few days ago. I couldn't help it. I had to make one just for the sheer awesomeness of it. More pics to come as it slowly cooks....All done!

As the title hints, I am looking for a small full range driver for my latest DIY project, posted here in the DIY forums. So, it doesn't need to be high powered, but it does need to be able to hit down to ~100hz to cross with my sub. For the sake of exploring all options, I haven't set a price...

As the title indicates, this is my latest creation which I've affectionately dubbed the facewoofer. As most things I've built since joining head-fi, it's a bit outside the box EDIT 1: Upholstered EDIT 2: Shakerized EDIT 3: Finishing Touches EDIT 4...

Hey guys, I'm trying to build a tube amp for my gramps. It will probably be driving a single built-in full-range speaker. I was originally looking at using a millet SS, but I'm afraid it won't be loud enough for an old man standing 5-25ft away. I'm thinking it should probably be 1/2-5W to drive...

So I was hoping to construct my own cables from scratch, but braided shielding alone seems to cost more than three times what the mogami-type mic cable equivalent costs. Is there a source for braided shielding that can even come close to competing with the prices of premade shielded wiring...

Hey guys, I just recieved these brand new in the mail yesterday. One had some goop near the lead that I wiped off the casing, and underneath it the plastic case seems chipped. The other looks melted off or chipped on the corner. I don't know if thats capacitor goo squezing out the end or what...

Has anyone ever proposed creating a head-fi wiki page? It seems like it would be a great way to organize the info here on the DIY thread since so much of the good info gets lost in hundreds of pages of posts. Would this even be a viable idea? I believe running a wiki is free, unless ofcourse it...

So I finally made a decision and ordered my AKG K701's last night. So now I need to decide which DAC and amp to build to get the most out of my investment, and I would like to go the DIY route to save money. I'm already pretty deadset on building the scott-nixon USB tube DAC (in reviews it...

Does anyone know of any good audiophile stores near Cincinnati, Ohio? I'm dying to test out some 701's and HD600/650's but can't find anything besides guitar center's limited selection.

Reader for about two weeks now, first time poster : ) So I'm trying to decide what headset will suit my tastes best...since there is no definite "best" headset due to subjectivity I've been leaning towards the AKG K701 using a CK2III and a sound card, which I haven't picked out yet. After...
