Replacing Shure E2Cs with wireless - Shure SE215-BT1, or something else?
Hi, Long time head-fier here, but sometime around 2006 I got my hands on Shure E2C IEMs for portable use and AKG K340s for home use, and never looked back. Fast forward 12 years, and now I'm looking back a teensy bit. Mostly, it's because my phone no longer has a headphone jack, and the little...- taylor

2009 Nascar Sprint Cup Series
I didn't see a thread on this, so I decided to start one. Who else watches? Think Kenseth is going to pull out a threepeat? Neither do I. I'm thinking a win from Busch. Las Vegas is his hometown, and when the US Formula 1 team asked them to be their driver, he said that he'd consider...- taylor

Hello friends, My cousin is getting married in September, and I bought a suit to wear for the wedding (and for future use - I'm 19 and this is my first suit) So, I already bought the suit, and had it altered. It's a very dark navy blue, with a slight vertical pinstripe, which is a...- taylor

Thinking about getting a Jeep...
...and was hoping that you guys might be able to give me some tips. I'd ideally get a CJ-8 Scrambler, but they're not that common, so I'm probably looking at CJ-6, CJ-7, CJ-8, or a YJ. This isn't going to be a daily driver, more of a weekend toy for my dad, and a thanksgiving/xmas/spring...- taylor

Dr. Kim at Drexel?
So, I'm enrolled in a week-long engineering program at Drexel in Philly. It's mostly for people heading into their senior year at high school, and who want to go to college for engineering. The whole premise is that there's professors for several different types of engineering who will all tell...- taylor

Digicam buyin' time!
Well, it's time for me to seek counsel amongst the wise and all-knowing camera-fi people. Just took a trip to Arizona, with my trusty HP Photosmart 735. I bought it for the sole reason that in Spring 2004, it cost $200, and the Canon A40 was $300. It's a real basic point-and-shoot 3.2MP...- taylor

Copying music from ipod to PC?
Hello, My cousin used iTunes to download a bunch of music onto his iPod 4g 20GB. He recently purchased a 4GB Nano and asked me to transfer his itunes music onto the new nano. I plugged the old ipod in and tried to browse for the songs, but I couldn't find them. I installed iTunes and added...- taylor

Infinity Primus 360
My speakers are old BIC Venturi Formula 2s. They are extremely efficent (One time, out of boredom, I powered them out of a headphone jack, and it worked.) and I like them very much, but I could use an extra pair of speakers for the bedroom and was thinking about springing for an upgrade for my...- taylor

An interesting headphone experience...
Normally I don't make threads about mundane things, but I just noticed something interesting for the first time - I am currently wearing my AKG K340s. They are centered over my ears, and the Pet Shop Boys 1987 Three CD Set is playing. My dad came up behind me. I turned to face him [A second...- taylor

Help me find an amp, be entered for a chance to win a metaphorical cookie!
I recently purchased AKG K340s. These headphones are very high impedance, 600 ohms is the number I have heard quoted. At least as hard to drive as HD600s. I currently have a vintage Kenwood reciever. It powers my speakers and SR-60s fine. However, when I used it to drive the K340s, I really...- taylor

Fixing Directsound?
I was running Windows XP on my machine. I got a nasty little piece of spyware that I couldn't remove (Hindsight is 20/20, I probably could have done a System restore and kill it, but I didn't think of that at the time.). So I make a partition on my second hard drive and install windows 2000...- taylor

Having second thoughts about reciever purchase
I just bought a new reciever, Pioneer VSX-515. It's a nice piece of equipment, but I feel like I bit off more than I can chew, so to speak. I thought that having 6 channels would give me flexibility in speaker placement, because I have a main pair of speakers along with another pair for my...- taylor

Help me troubleshoot my reciever!
Alright, I have a Kenwood surround amp. It's big, it's heavy, and it's rated for 4 ohms. I have a pair of Mirage SM-1 speakers on the front and a pair of old JVC speakers on the rear, no sub or center. I'm driving it from the tape out on my other reciever, which I use for headphones. When I...- taylor

What to do with V6
About 14 months ago I bought Sony V6. Worked great, really liked them. Eventually, replaced with Grado SR-60 and lent the V6s to my brother. He wasn't getting any sound, so I took a look at them. Fired up my setup, SR-60s work fine. Take them out and plug in the V6s, no sound. I don't see any...- taylor
