Well there has been some talk of a meet in Calgary so I thought I'd start a thread. I would be more than willing to host it, my place isn't huge (I currently have seating for 7 though that could be expanded) but I have a copious amount of power outlets ( 3 dual socket, and 1 quad), I live on...

Does anyone have any experience with the DroboPro? I'm thinking of connecting it via Firewire800 to one of those new Mac Mini Servers to host all of my media and that looks like it would be the perfect device.

I'm trying to help a friend build a nice 2 channel system, his price range is ~$4k cdn for speakers and amp and he's looking to feed the system with his Slingbox. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions of the Median DSP5000? I looked at these because they seem to be decently priced on the...

First let me say I said no MDs because their experience will have been different from the one I would have. I love you guys though.... please don't let me die . Now that's out of the way onto my question: I am in my first year of computer science and I have been thinking what is the process...

I wonder does anyone here have any experience forwarding ports with the Apple Time Capsule? I am trying to forward some torrent ports to a server but it's just not working. I was followed many tutorials but I am still getting nowhere, when I test the ports with a port checker it says that the...

I'm trying to balance my W5000s but I'm getting an interesting issue. I cut off the 1/4" end, stripped the wires, tinned the ends but now I'm trying to measure the resistance across the drivers to see which ground goes with each channel. The issue is when I measure from using a ground and...

I am looking at a new source to go with my REF1/Phoenix combo and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the MCD201 CD player? It does look gorgeous.

I am looking for a CD player to feed my REF1 my budget is 2-3k any ideas?

I'm trying to find information on balancing the W5000s, I've tried searching but have come up empty handed. Does anyone have a how to? Is it enough just to chop the end off and re-terminate?

I have no idea if this is the correct forum for this but as DIY people are my target market this is where I am going to post. I was thinking about a new project (a b24) lamenting on my lack of an oscilloscope when an idea struck me how about a place you could go and rent time with a fully...

I am heading to university this fall for my first year of computer science and I will be living in residence, I am looking for a good high end set up as I have been out of the game for a while. The headphones I am looking at getting are the HD800 and I want to run them balanced. I am going to...

I know this isn't the correct place for this (Eurail is closed until Monday) but people here are well traveled and I trust you guys' advice. I am traveling to Europe (Amsterdam to be exact) in 11 days and I bought a benelux-germany Eurail pass with protection but I cannot find it, so what are my...

This is probably posted elsewhere but oh well here goes. What would you guys recommend for as the best replacement foam tips for triple-fis and where would I buy them? I would replace them with stock but they are not that comfy and UE doesn't seem to sell them on their site. Thanks

So I am thinking of selling everything (Except my triple-fi's ipod, notebook, and camera stuff) and moving to Europe or something has anyone else done this? I was thinking of traveling for a while then trying to get citizenship and maybe setting down. Does anyone have any suggestions on European...

I just picked up my triple-fi's from FedEx and I just wanted to say thank you. It took less than 24hrs from when FedEx picked up the headphones to when they tried to deliver them at my door (a little faster then the 3-4 days I was quoted ). I severely question your advertising though you claimed...

Hey guys, it has been a long time since I've been in the headphone game. I picked up two cars and they have taken up most of my time (my Audi S4, and VW Rabbit) but I have come for some advice. I have never really travelled outside of Canada besides a week in Florida but since I get two weeks...

Well I've taken a bit of a hiatus from this site since you guys are too tempting what with your L3000's and K1000's and all. I went out and bought myself a 'new' car a 2004 Audi S4, it's in almost perfect condition I love it (Mmmm... V8). I was wondering if anyone here have done an audio system...

I am really doubtful this could happen but it would be really sweet if it did. I just got a new blackberry and I have unlimited email on it so what would be cool was if I could reply to the subscription notice emails and it would post in the thread that way I could 'surf' head-fi while on the...

I'm looking at buying a car something MY05 or newer, RWD would be really nice. I have 30k-50k to spend and I'm looking for something quick (350Z or the like) or something interesting (RHD Alfa ) but the issue is two fold; one I am 6'3 300ish pounds (though I'm trying to do something about that...

I just bought an 8830 from Telus and I was wondering if anyone knew for sure if Telus locks them down? If so how can I unlock it? I ask because in a month or so I may be going to the UK and want to buy a pay and talk sim since Telus' international roaming rates are terrible ($2/min and $1/text...

I am currently building my digital system I will be feeding my transport into my DAC1 into a balanced Beta22 (or balanced tubes). Currently I have a Pioneer DV-563A and I was wondering if that was good enough or what else I should look for. Thanks

I'm looking for shops in Seattle to pickup Stax and possibly Bayerdynamic headphones does anyone know a place I could go? Are all the shops on 'hi-fi row'? Thanks

Since I'm going to Victoria this coming week I might as well take the ferry down to Seattle (take advantage of the strong dollar) I have wanted an iPhone for a while and I've heard that Apple only takes credit cards to buy iPhones. So I was wondering if they would have an issue with a Canadian...

Well I've decided I need to go on vacation so I've decided to go to Victoria. Now the head-fier in me asks are there any places to buy headphones in Victoria or Vancouver?

I have 7 days off this coming weekend and I'm thinking of flying somewhere but I'm going to need to rent a car so I have a few questions. First I'm 23 so that makes me pretty young, how hard is it to rent a car when you're young like me? Second is there anything I should look out for? Third any...
