Review by 'ilovesocks' on item 'Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones'
Equipment Spotify Premium Firestone Audio Fubar 2 DAC Firestone Audio Cute Battery 2 amp Build and comfort I upgraded to these from Audio-Technica ATH-M50s. I very much like the sound of the M50, but found that their weight made them uncomfortable to wear for very long sessions (i.e...- ilovesocks

Audio fidelity - how long do you stick with a piece of gear?
When I first discovered Head-Fi, I went through several budget setups over the course of a year, escalating to a Corda Aria and then settling in to my current rig, which I've had for 3 years now. I've had my AKG k271S for 4 years though. Having stopped being a Head-Fi regular since I'm happy...- ilovesocks

Rock Band Wii Guitar Syncing Help
This may not be the best forum to go to for this, but it's the only forum I'm registered on besides ubuntuforums. So, my friend just got Rock Band for the Wii plus an extra wireless guitar, making two in total. We couldn't both guitars to sync with the little USB dongle at the same time...- ilovesocks

Amount of Sleep & Effects
As a university student, the amount of sleep I get each night varies quite a bit, from around 9 hours (rare) to about 4 in some extreme cases. What I've found is that I feel good when I wake up after 8 or more hours. As the amount drops to 7.5 and decreases, I feel horrible when I wake up and...- ilovesocks

Parenting: Material Things
I recently started job at a local drugstore which has (cleverly) placed its toy aisle so that it's in direct view of the children who come in with their parents. Consequently, I quite often hear cries of "DADDY, DADDY, I WANT IT!", "LOOK AT THIS HELICOPTER, IT'S SO AWESOME!", and so on. I've...- ilovesocks

Recommend me a sports car
That MR2 is badass. Looks really clean! The engine bay could use some tidying up, though. Hope it turns out well! My cousin has a late 1st-gen MR2 and it's great. Those engines can last for over 250k miles, too. If I were looking for a sports car (I sure wish I was), I wouldn't settle for...- ilovesocks

Triport Recable: Driver Problems
I'll definitely post pictures when I'm done - maybe in a new thread. The Mogami cable I used has two separate cables for each channel which can be pulled apart to make the desired length of split. I pulled it apart and then put heatshrink around the end of the split to hopefully keep it from...- ilovesocks

What was your first exposure to the WWW ?
I came in a bit late, around '97 with AOL on a 28.8 kbps modem. The computer was a Packard Bell Pentium II 120MHz, with 8 MB of RAM and a 1.2 GB hard drive. Windows 95. I was in third grade. AOL had a great database of computer game demos that you could download for free. I did that all the...- ilovesocks

Are You a Video Games Addict? Need Help? How many hours on average do you play daily?
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=214703 For me, it was Counter-Strike and CS: Source. College has pretty much pushed video games out of my life, though. Definitely a good thing.

White Noise or Sleep Sound generator?
If you have access to a computer, you could use NCH's Tone Generator. You can download it for free. I've tried it and it's got quite a few options, including several colors of noise at a range of frequencies, and also a few "environment" simulators like offices, outdoors, etc.- ilovesocks

How do you pronounce "the"?
I don't think I always follow that rule. When I say "the" before a word that starts with an "o," I say "thuh" because it's pretty much the same sound, so they slur in to each other. "Thuh octopus" with no pause in between.- ilovesocks
