    Sennheiser open to selling their consumer audio branch

    Well, of course I saw your post after I posted mine. If mods want to delete mine that'd be fine. Personally, I'm pretty bummed as well. I consider their run of quality and innovation to be the most impressive of this little industry. Do products like the orpheus get made by companies with...

    Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

    Hello everybody! I believe my buddy PITTM made that glorious 'shop long ago, when the internet was new and I was but a young fart. I've been doing a lot of lurking and listening over the last decade since my last post; I recently got a pair of Sundaras and they are as good as everyone says...

    "How £1,000 headphones are made: A Sennheiser factory tour"

    How £1,000 headphones are made: A Sennheiser factory tour - Crave at CNET UK Hi everybody! Don't have much time to read the forums anymore (and none to post!) with school taking up all of time but I stumbled onto this cool photo tour of the HD 800 being manufactured and didn't see a thread on...

    make the noises stop!

    There is another possibility which I just discovered quite unfortunately myself. Some "Draft n" wireless adapters cause a general stuttering in all audio (and video) unless you install "Marvell - Network - Wireless-N USB Network Adapter" from windows update. The other thing you should try is...

    K701 or DT880s?? Your Vote goes to...

    My main headphones are the older 880's with a straight cable. I've been borrowing the 701's for a couple days now. Both great headphones with more similarities than differences. However, I have to give it to the AKGs over-all. They have a touch more refinement, a little more upper bass and...

    Dungeons and Dragons

    I miss those carefree innocent summers with my D&D buddies (used to play 2nd edition). One of them just got a masters in CS from Cornell and another is at Duke medical school. If our incredibly small sample size is any indication your son likely has a very bright future luckybaer.

    Kobe Bryant: to leave or not to leave

    I'm pretty sure he realizes that if he were traded it would be to a worse team than the lakers, and that his only hope is that LA starts making good moves, he's just trying to shake things up a bit because the end of his career is in sight. One team that could possibly make a trade for him...

    Help me buy my first computer

    I got a black c2d macbook with 2gbs of ram in november. Major factors for me were ability to run OSX and windows, optical out, DVI out (many budget laptops had only VGA still, maybe that has changed), design, and price. I think apple laptops are actually pretty moderately priced, especially if...

    where to host a folder for free

    First of all you need to .zip or .rar them. It'll be way smaller and then you'll have only one file. yousendit.com has no registration but only allows 5 dl's. rapidshare.de requires registration to upload but has unlimited dl's. Alternatively, you could just mass email them in a series of...

    Are North Face jackets worth the $$?

    Firstly I must preface this that I have never owned any "high-end" outerwear, or anything by the north face. Seriously though, TNF backpacks are ridiculously trendy right now and I can't stand it. I see more TNF backpacks around college than jansports, a monopoly I thought jansport would hold...

    Germanium transistor amp

    I haven't heard of these mic pre's you're talking about but basically germanium does NOT sound "clean" - the point of an headphone amplifier is to output the signal coming in modifying ONLY the amplitude. Mic pre's and fuzzboxes have clearly different purposes; they are often chosen specifically...

    For folks who have dealt with broken ipods...

    The icon isn't listed on that page, its the second one here. The battery with an exclamation point. That makes me think it could still be just the battery and that the noise may just be an underpowered drive trying to spin up. I left it plugged into my USB-wall charger overnight though so I...
