REVIEW: HiFiman HM-601
...for most of my albums, and the 601 was just shooting them into memory in some unfathomable order. Somebody a few pages back suggested that *random-order sufferers* try a small desktop application that would reorder the FAT tables by long or short dos names. **I tried to use this...- catachresis

REVIEW: HiFiman HM-601
...many cameras. As for how to get the ordering of tracks accomplished, I'm at a standstill. Rockbox is not installing: tried both methods. Alpha, if you have a moment, would you describe what a "queued folder" means in *this* context? I don't mind editing some file names to get a mix ordered.- catachresis

...in a fit of upgrade-itis. A few years back, I spent about $75.00 on "crafted" sold brass spikes with floor dimples. The brass cones are *tiny* and they lifted my Aerials about 1/4" off the hardwood. 'So I thought I might plunk down $120.00 on some outrigger supports. I'd heard... -
Ecost -- Refurbed (Official Sony-USA) MDR-V900HD Headphones-$89.99 + Shipping
Shipping was especially fast and these arrived today. I won't make any rash comparisons, but they sound *very* good indeed. They are closed, so not so airy or spacious as open cans. Nonetheless, they maintain a bit of air, and they are quite good at separation. They have luscious mids. ...- 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
