    Why would ya…….

    The only photo that that would be disturbing in that regard, would be me handling/wearing the headphones.. because that would probably be the last record of the phones being in one piece.

    This place is LAGGY

    Thanks for your suggestions. mod_gzip has already been deployed a long while back. MSIE page status does not show the compressed size, but Mozilla does. But if you have access to a Web client that supports HEAD requests, you'll see that any text/PHP content on the www6 is gzip encoded. Zend...

    Photo section has been corrupted -- you can help.

    During a software upgrade, I managed to kill the photo-post database, as well as the backup that I made just minutes previous. So, rather than busting out into self-deprecating humor, how about this.. If you had an album on the photo section, send me TWO (what you think are) UNIQUE file names...

    Investing, where to go?

    It's called PayPal, and my email address is: neil@head-fi.org . But honestly? Go to Sound Money. Don't take one piece of advice.. read, and learn about investment strategy. If this is your first real investment, don't throw it all in some stock that interests you. If it's a huge sum, diversify...

    Black Friday Deals

    I tried my hand at Black Friday shopping @ Office Max. A 200GB WD HDD for $49.99 after rebate, you'd be a bonehead not to get it; however, the lines -- you'd be a bonehead, or better yet, a very patient person to stand in them. Even though all cash registers were moving at full clip, the line...

    Happy birthday Neil!

    Yeah, the logos are hard work, but it's all worth it to entertain you guys. (just kidding, I never touch the logos -- I think it's the house elves that work on those) Well, my HD600s and SR-80s are on loan to my postman, who is turning into a head-fi addict (I think he just lurks here, if at...
