Great, great match. I really expected Milan to pull it out in the spot kicks, but their players just went cold. Gerrard had a great match especially.

His last post was December 31, when he sold his Blockhead, but made no mention of leaving Head-fi or anything. Just curious, not a took-the-money-and-ran situation or anything.

I just bought a used turntable, and like many older units, its RCA plugs are attached to the unit. The left one isn't working. Is it easy to buy a pair of RCA plugs and attach them in place of the current, plastic plugs? I can't solder and don't have much in the way of DIY skills at all. Thanks.

I have a Dell laptop, and I keep the system volume on "mute" always because I don't listen to music on the computer. I tried to play a video file today, and when I went to "volume control" in the lower right of my taskbar, I got a message saying something like "There are no audio devices...

Saw this in a catalog. It's only $10 and looks useful. Haven't tried one, though.

There's no Outside forum right now, so political comments will get this thread closed. I, for one, thought she was a talented writer and unique thinker. Rest in peace. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertain...rts/992695.stm

If I were rich, I wouldn't mind owning one of these for a few grand. One-of-a-kind musician. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

Anyone else pick up this new release? I'm really enjoying it.

Just curious. Double RIAA equalization? High gain, overly bassy sound? (Since analog without a phono preamp is low gain and thin?) Your opinions are welcome.

It's not working for me, anyone else having problems?

As above.

I just bought a Stax SR-34 off Audiogon for $90. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....oni&1102735111 Kind of an impulse purchase, but I'm without cans at the moment and can afford to experiment for $90. I've read the limited impressions from past users on Head-fi, but if anyone else has...

I just got a pair of SR-60 in the mail. The right channel isn't completely silent, but it's way below the level of the left channel. I'm searching but would appreciate a quick reply on how to fix, if possible. If not, who do I contact - Grado, or eBay seller? They were purchased new.

Tomorrow I'm going to be making a visit to a Chicago hi-fi shop for the first time. A seller I contacted on Audiogon about a used turntable turned out to be a local dealer. I spoke to him on the phone recently, and he seemed pleasant. Also, he's offered me what looks to be a good deal on a Rega...

A local hi-fi dealer who I'd contacted about a used Linn turntable (which sold too quick for me) offered to make me a deal on a Rega P2. The table is brand new and he's willing to include a Grado Green cartridge for a total of $465, which is still under the Rega's list price alone. Along with...

Interpol's new album Antics, the follow-up to their hit debut Turn On the Bright Lights, was released today in the US. Anyone pick it up? I've been listening to an mp3 copy of the album for several weeks now (thanks Zanth), and enjoyed it more and more each time. Received my copy today, spun it...

Anyone have experience shipping large items (in this case, a turntable) from Europe (or elsewhere) to the United States? What method of shipping is safest, while not being outrageously expensive? Is an insurance claim likely to be successful in the event of damage? Any thoughts you might have...

Have a good time, Ben.

Turntable -> phono preamp -> RCA-to-mini cable -> USB soundcard's line input -> laptop? I'm not interested in sound quality above all else. I need an inexpensive and convenient solution. Is what i described correct? Also, what sort of software do I use to transfer a vinyl record into digital...

I bought 4 tickets to a Radiohead show in Toronto in August 2003, which was cancelled due to the blackout that struck the Northeast U.S. and Canada a few days before. Toronto, apparently, was one of the last major metropolitan areas to recover. Anyway, the Radiohead people gave me a refund...

I'm looking for an entry-level turntable. The Music Hall MMF-5 is widely liked, but the price on it appears to have risen steadily: $600 is out of my budget. Has anyone heard this less expensive, British-made turntable, which is apparently a budget version of the Rega P2? Impressions?

thanks for the quality advice on gear and music and the rude, intelligent, and abrasive posts that keep this place interesting. enjoy the weekend.

because i haven't received a pm or an e-mail concerning it. if this was done intentionally and is not a technical glitch, then head-fi really has become too draconian to be of any use or interest.
