HD650s for $330
Maybe it's not a great price. I quit looking at them after I decided to stay with my 595s. I just thought from what I remembered that it was better than I'd seen, so I passed it along. Please excuse if this is old news or an average deal.- spudman

HD650s for $330
That's a good price, right? I saw J&R selling them for that and hadn't seen a post about it here. I figured it's alright to pass the information along. Does that mean HD700s are not far behind?- spudman

Zune on Woot! for $99.99sss
I will. At least I found some info on getting through the problem without calling tech support. I just wish the battery would hurry up and die so I can attempt it. At least my pocket vaio has a removeable battery. I had it lock up and simply unplugging and replugging the battery cured it.- spudman

I got mine today too. Unfortunately, mine locked up with the battery/plug symbol showing. Apparently, this is a known issue that happens to some new units. I am supposed to let the battery die completely and try again. In the meantime I can't turn it on, off, reset, or anything. Very frustrating.- spudman

I had to get one. I've bought from woot twice before with no problems. I'd like to know about gapless too. My 40G pocket vaio has done gapless for like two years, but it's getting old and cranky, like me.- spudman

Which artist do you have tons of CDs of?
Buying the Dylan boxed set pushed him to the top of my collection. Second is probably the Beatles. -
pricejapan.com--are they reputable?
I ordered a front projection lcd from them a couple of years ago. It arrived with no problems. This was a huge ticket item and I would use them again. I had no local store or service for the projector, so that factored into my purchase decision.- spudman

ATRAC 64kbps can't be this good
I have the pocket vaio and mistakenly used 64k atrac for an album (Beck's Sea Change). While I don't think 64k mp3s are listenable for much more than audio books, the 64k atrac files sound pretty good to me. If I am using sonicstage normally, I'm trying atrac advanced 132k lossless as opposed to...- spudman

Free Headphone Stand Giveaway!
Sovkiller, My 595s came with a nice little holder. I did a ghetto version for this contest because it was fun. By the way, I named my holder the iSwiffer nano Valhalla, as reflected in my edited post.- spudman

Slingbox - anyone?
I have had mine for about a year also. I have watched on my computer from the office and once from a hotel room that had high speed wireless access. The last software upgrade was a big improvement in picture quality, but still a little on the soft side. Here is a neat trick I did with it. My...- spudman

Question about Apple refurbished iPOD nanos.
I just got a 2g nano. I can't say for sure about the battery, but the case and screen look new. Unfortunately, I had a problem with the nano. The screen would not come on except for a light. It took two calls to Apple's support, but they sent me a fedex return label and shipped another nano...- spudman

Do I need amp for HD595?
They work fine without an amp, but if you are spending time here you will more than likely end up buying one anyway. I got the 595s and bought the headfive and it works great and gives you the option of using crossfeed which can't be done without an amp or at least a crossfeed box of some kind...- spudman
