No responses?   Someone must have recommendations.  Pleasseeee.

I want to buy my wife a portable MP3 player for xmas.  She isn't as a demanding listener as me and will mainly be listening to it via car speakers and a portable boom box.  I am looking to spend no more than $125 or so, and would prefer $100.  As big of capacity as possible, likely flash based...

Yes, I did do that with Pandora for a bit, but was getting groups that were too dreamy or slow. I did get one band that seemed interesting, but I forgot the name. I need to go back to Pandora and replay that station to see if that band comes up again.

Wow, kinda bummed I am not hearing moregroups that are as musically talented and have produced albums with comparable stylistic features of PT and FOABP.

I am a rock person and enjoy a variety of rock music. I recently tried Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet and can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a new album so much in a long time. I am looking for other albums that are like this one. I've done some reading in forums and when someone asks...

Nothing from me either. He just likes to say things like I will finish your amp this week thinking I will be placated and go away for a while. I am sure he has no intention of doing anything. It really is weird. He told he Head-fi isn't really his main base of customers, yet I find that hard to...

He finally replied to me today and said he is planning to ship my amp next week. Ha! Like I believe that.

No, the vendor is a mainstream company. They don't do mods. I know of standard modding companies, Reference Audio Mods, APL, etc., but am looking for someone who is more familiar with headphone amps. That is, the person listens to headphones regularly and understands the headphone experience...

I will be getting a new tube headphone amp soon and in the future will be considering having some mods done, e.g. upgrading capacitors, etc. I am looking for someone that does high quality work and is familiar with headphone amps.

Mikhail has my upgraded Supra and $1000 for further upgrades.

Quote: Mayhaps it is time for an UPDATED list of folks to come forward with what is owed by SP, and how much? While some issues have been resolved, more seem to come to light. Well, I'll update it from my end. Mikhail has my Supra, which already had several upgrades, and $1000. The...

Quote: You promised me a quick turnaround, it is now over 14 months. What do you consider a quick turnaround, 2 YEARS? Well considering I got an email last week saying "I'll try to have most of it complete next week. I'll send some pictures as well early in the week. Let's talk...

Quote: Originally Posted by subtle It would be an understatement if I said I admire your patience, which I do. I don't know if what I am doing right now is being patient. I think that emotional state passed long ago. I am more resigned to the fact that I won't get the amp, or if...

Quote: Originally Posted by subtle This is just absolutely absurd. How is this gentleman not first in line right now? Over a one and a half year wait?!? Ha! That's nothing. I sent my amp for an upgrade just before Thanksgiving 2006! I really don't have much hope of getting it...
