    Head-Fi 2012 Christmas Gift Exchange Whadjaget? Thread

    Quote: Will vouch for The Flashbulb, especially this album. Great music if you enjoy ambient/glitch type of stuff; my personal favorite track is "Warm Hands in Cold Fog". Sounds like a good exchange!

    Head-Fi 2012 Christmas Gift Exchange Whadjaget? Thread

    Had MorbidToaster as my exchange partner this year... All I can say is, if you get paired up with him, consider yourself lucky :D Ended up with a boatload of CDs this year... I told him I liked electronica, but this is all new to me! Making my way through all of it, so far so good. BT -...

    Double Helix Cables Thread

    Massive pics post! A huge thanks to Peter for putting on the Halloween contest again this year... not too often that you run into somebody in the audio industry willing to go to such great lengths regarding conducting giveaways for their fans. I was fortunate to be the winner of the Goliath...

    Columbus Head-fier reporting in. Well, Columbus from Winter Break (~ Dec 21 - Jan 21) and summers (May-August). Otherwise at school elsewhere. Definitely interested if this comes together in the applicable time frame; if it does, I could chip in some LCD-2s with a Lyr/Bifrost stack as well as...

    Double Helix Cables Thread

    If my audio equipment can't kill vampires, I haven't gotten my money's worth. EDIT: The spikes were part of a used deal, but for anybody interested I'm pretty sure they're Super Cell Audio Spikes, either the 2nd or 3rd down on that page. They work well enough! I don't really know about their...

    Double Helix Cables Thread

    Can't believe I didn't see this thread earlier! Just going to throw in my two cents in support of Peter's work. I have the Macromolecule from him for my LCD-2s, and will testify to the quality of the craftsmanship, aesthetics, and sound. Definitely a great product, there's no two ways about...

    Pictures Of Your High End System (Please see the first pages for examples of what should be posted here)

    That being said, I -did- buy the MAC and Audioquest used at (relatively) reasonable prices. I won't try to defend the cabling purchases though, beyond feeling that I won't have to change them for a while and will probably recycle most of them even if the gear moves up (balance being the...

    Quote: Yeah, I probably got a bit out of hand with that. Looking back, maybe would've gone low-cost on the optical and RCAs; the DHC was definitely unnecessary, but one of those things where I wouldn't feel settled 'til I had it :/    Quote: Prolly gonna hold off on the upgrades...

    Man, so envious of the systems in here.. Someday xD 'til then, though this hardly deserves to be posted here... Welcome to College-Fi.       Alienware M17x >> Lifatec Optical cable >> Schiit Bifrost >> Audioquest Diamondback RCAs >> Schiit Lyr (Reflector 6N23P Super Cryo /...

    Electronic Music Exchange (House, DnB, Dubstep, etc.)

    Quote: Even the dubstep mix isn't -that- bad; the piano interlude-y bits still sound incredible with the Rivers Flow in You Melody. Actually can't praise it enough. Funny, too, cause it's not a particularly high-energy song or anything like that, either, as hhc tends to be. Also, c'mon...

    Quote:   That is, without question, my favorite hhc tune ever as well. It's actually magical. And yeah, I guess I coulda guessed that there wasn't much after 2009 :/ c'est la vie, now is the era of electro and dub, about which I have few complaints.
