    Feedback by 'patman657' on listing 'Stax SR-X9000'

    Branislav is a grade A seller. Communication could not have been better, and the headphones were received as if packaged by the factory. Shipment was immediate as well. Would love to do business again!

    Legal Question Regarding Me

    I registered a sole proprietorship as a minor, and I spoke extensively with a tax attorney during the process. Here are some things to look out for. First of all, minors can enter into legally binding contracts, but they can break contracts with no consequences. This doesn't mean you can...

    Head-Fi Folding@Home: Join the team!

    I thought I would bring this thread up again since we only have 7 Head-Fiers folding right now. Our team used to be in the top 200, but now we are ranked well under 500. Let's make our team competitive again and work to help cure disease!

    Racking a Server in a Window Sill?

    This is a pretty ridiculous idea, but if I could pull it off, it would be awesome. I just picked up a Dell PowerEdge 2650 from work and want to use it as a web and file server. Unfortunately, it is very loud and I don't really want to try rigging a bunch of quiet fans to it. I thought it...

    Have some Phun.

    If you like this, try Armadillo Run. Pretty much the same thing but with specific tasks to accomplish on a defined parts budget.

    Need recommendations for good easy-to-use CAD software

    SolidWorks is the most intuitive pro software I have used, but it also costs about $4000.

The included rendering engine is...

    Tell me all about that virus called MONO

    First of all, very few people have recurring mono. Most people get it once, and that's it. So I wouldn't worry much about that. But yes, the Epstein-Barr virus which is the general cause of mono is a form of herpes and can recur. Don't even bother worrying about contracting it from your...

    Requesting Ideas for New Inventions

    I have a major project this semester that calls for inventing a new product, but my team is having a very difficult time coming up with something feasible. The requirements are as follows: 1. The product must be sold directly to the consumer, not to a business or as a component for a larger...

    Boston Regional 8/25/07

    It was good to see everyone from last year and all the new faces. Big thanks to everyone who organized the meet! I didn't do too much listening this time around since I am pretty settled with my K1000 rig, but I did have a listen to the HE60, Edition 9, and the RS1 out of Computerpro3's rig...
