REVIEW: HiFiman HM-601
I think I've found a solution for my specific problem: getting a mess 'o wav files to load into the 601 LE in a sequence that resembles the explicit ordered file names. I've no mp3 tags and no cue sheets for most of my albums, and the 601 was just shooting them into memory in some unfathomable...- catachresis

Leather conditioner?
I used mink oil and dubbin for *many* years. About five years ago, I got a stunning pair of vintage Italian hiking boots off *bay. They'd been in somebody's basement for a decade. I virtually soaked them in mink oil, hoping to restore their suppleness. The entire top 3mm of the leather just...- catachresis

Ghost Sightings
I don't know for certain if I've seen one. My parents have an old summer house in Nova Scotia.

Paypal - What?!?
I don't want to be obtuse, but if the dealer has the cables, and you are not in possession of them, does he not have an obligation to return them to you? --If that is the case, perhaps you could induce him to make the necessary repair to the alignment of the plug. On the other hand, if you...- catachresis

My first “Head-fi.org Approved” System!?!
Just remember, Barber, part of the thrill of having a "Headfi.org"-approved first setup is that no setup will never receive *unanimous approval*: we're all helpful, we all have very different critical tastes and experiences of gear, and nobody's shy about disagreeing.

Help with Setting Up Older Pro Mono Power Amps?
Hey, guys. I just got a deal on two mono "commercial power amplifiers," circa 1981. They use the old screw-secured output connectors, which is fine. But I confess that this model has options that I am not confident I know how to correctly set-up. I'm apprehensive that I'm going to damage an amp...- catachresis
