Well, after thinking about getting a new watch for some time now, finally pulled the trigger yesterday. Ordered a black dial Omega Seamaster GMT. The dealer I went to didn't have it in stock so it'll be here tomorrow/friday. Decided to go with an Authorised Dealer instead of an online place...

Yes, so they're full price, 5 bills, but I could have them in my ears in about 1/2 an hour... desperately trying to think of reasons NOT to get them.... I have nothing.

B&H have these in stock ! http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search

My name is Julz and I'm emetophobic (fear of vomit/vomiting)... Sorry if this is, quite literally, bad taste, but I've been emetophobic for as long as I can remember and just wondered if anyone else here has this problem or any phobia (as opposed to merely a strong "dislike"). I've not...

Just got back from the cat shelter. I've adopted a black and white 3 yr old male called "Charlie". He seems really laid back and mellow and was really affectionate with me. He was found just wandering the streets, following anyone who remotely looked like they'd feed him. Anyway, he's...

Help, guys... I'm trying to listen to some .mp3's while surfing... thing is, EVERYTIME I click on anything I get this REALLY f*&$ing annoying 'click' in my ear and it's driving me NUTS ! Can't find anywhere to switch this off.

Hey guys 'n' gals I understand that 5751's and CV4004's can be used in place of the 12AX7's, but what about the 12AU7's ? Are they compatible ? J

Well, my SR60's have been on extended loan to a young lad who works at my company. He was using some behind-the-ear Coby's (seriously!!) so I lent him my SR60's which he loves. It was recently his birthday and I know his girlfriend got him one of those new fangled Ipud things the kids use these...

Currently listening to El Oso and am really enjoying, first time I've listened to the band. Anyone got any recommendations as to what to listen to next ??? J

I'm not sure if it's just me... does anyone else find it annoying to check out something in the For Sale forums, only to find it's just a "Hey, look what I put on eBay" advertisment ? Yeah, I know... it's probably just me...

Hey guys 'n' gals... So, you can see from my sig, my humble setup. If, like me, you had around $700 just kicking around in used 20's and had itchy upgraditis breaking out, what would be the upgrade route you'd take ? I like my Onkyo SACD/DVD-A player but would an outboard DAC make it even...

Hi guys 'n' gals. Can anyone tell me what the deal is with these CD's ? I've seen a few on eBay that got my attention (mainly 70's rock) but then so did the price tags. Are they worth the extra coin ? J

Hey guys 'n' gals.. So reading through some stuff on the web about tube amps it seems that certain tubes go together better than others. Does anyone have any recommendations for tubes that play nicely together ? My current installed are RCA 6BQ5's and a Mullard CV4004, and I listen mainly to...

Hey guys... how critical is the placement of a tube amp ? the reason I ask is that I am playing with my new amp right now, and I've placed it 2 or 3 ft from my source but when I plug my 'phones in, even with the volume all the way down, I'm picking up a slight hum. I have NO experience in these...

...because I just got back from J&R with a very shiny new pair of HD650's So, everyone gets a BIG hug cos I'm sooo emotional right now... I wanna go home... AND my new (well, new to me...) ASL tube amp arrived at the office today AS WELL......... And I'm supposed to work this...

Just curious, do any of you guys and gals log off during a thunderstorm ? I remember reading in some Verizon thing that it's best to. I never have....yet We're having a bit of a thump here in NYC...

Hi everyone, I've got me a glowy ASL amp coming. Now, I've read with relish all the threads and newbie FAQS about tube amps but the answer to one question still eludes me... I leave my Creek on all the time, whenever I want, she's ready to rock, or jazz, or whatever. As tubes have a limited...

http://darkwatcher.psxfanatics.com/console/pong.htm scroll about 3/4 of the way down... Sennheiser made a Pong clone in 1977 ??? The things you learn....

So, I went to J&R here in NYC at lunch and snuggled a pair of HD650's on my head (they were VERY firmly attached to the "listening wall", I tried...). Couldn't really hear them properly cos of the other 85 pairs of open cans belting out the same music. Now I've been lusting after these for...
