    Dell Mini 9 Audio Hackery

    Hey guys, I'm back again! I just picked up a Dell Mini 9 and am thus far loving the little machine. However, in my quest to tear apart and hack everything I own, I took it apart yesterday, in a quest to find the audio output circuitry. Looking around the headphone jack, all I saw were surface...

    The Car/Motorcycle/Motorsport/Anything fast enough to do something stupid in thread!

    I've got a Tiptronic in my Legacy. While it is more fun than just sticking it in Drive, it's no substitute for a proper manual gearbox. I love how much more involved it feels when using a clutch and directly manipulating the gears. Ideally though, I'd have a proper sequential gearbox, with a...

    What is the best gaming/movie/music can...

    I'll also recommend the DT-770/80. They are a very fun headphone to listen to, and are great for gaming/movies/music. They were my first headphone and I chose them because I wanted to use them for gaming and music. They will not disappoint. It is very easy to pinpoint sounds in games with the...

    UE-10 or UE-11

    I have never heard a UE-10, but I will say that my UE-11 is just about the most euphonic headphone I've ever heard. I am almost willing to end my Head-Fi journey with the UE-11 alone. The UE-11 definitely has the best soundstage of any IEM I've heard, but as is the case with IEM's, it doesn't...

    What to do in San Diego?

    Thanks for the replies guys. So far, it looks like Phil's BBQ, Stereo Unlimited, and the Zoo are definitely in our plans. The other intern here is also an audio/videophile, and he was also interested in that. The record stores would be a good choice, if I actually had an LP setup, but the...

    What to do in San Diego?

    Hey guys, long time no see! I took a bit of a Head-Fi break this year after picking up autocrossing and heading out to Mojave, CA for a rocket internship. Anyway, I hope to be back more often and actually post up like I used to, but for now, got a quick question. I'm going to be down in San...

    Alien DAC v1.1 Construction Thread

    Any of you guys happen to have a spare REG101UA-A and REG101UA-33 by any chance or know of where I can get some? All the major suppliers look like they're out.

    I'm #191, what are you?

    I will be 806! Thanks to stupid posts like this... However, I like to think that all of my posts (except this one) have immeasurable amounts of substance and are not just full of fluff or filler...

    My mum say's I need a razor...

    I use a Schick Injector E-type and Feather Super Professional blades, the sharpest, manliest blades you can find. They will provide such an incredibly smooth, irritation free, and close shave. I really haven't nicked myself too bad with that combo ever, but should a small nick happen, you won't...

    Summer Atlanta Meet - July 5, 2008 (Loganville, GA)

    As I posted in the other thread in the Member's Forum, I am in. Usual stuff for me as far as headphones go, though I might have an AlienDAC put together before then. My SOHA is turning into a beast of a project with the casework I'm planning, so that is not guaranteed. I've just been so busy...

    woodied ksc75

    At an Atlanta meet a couple years ago, hozo brought along a pair of KSC-75's for which he had created wood enclosures. They looked great but the wood enclosure screwed up the sonics and it ended up sounding really hollow. Whoever attempts this will have to be very careful with laying out the...
