I'm sharing this story because it makes me unbelievably angry. By sharing it, I hope to work out some of that anger. I ordered a new iMac as part of Apple's back to school program. The promotion allowed me to purchase an iPod 30Gb Video for $50 after the rebate. I went along with it and...

I have the option of purchasing either a Shure SE210 or a Shure E4 for roughly the same price. Which would be better for classical music and opera? Is there much difference? Thank you for your opinions and advice.

Hello folks. I'm trying to decide which earphones I should purchase for my daily CTA trips. I've narrowed my choices down to the Westone UM1, the Etymotic ER6i, any model of Shure's that I can find on the cheap, or the D Jays. Yes, I know - that isn't very narrow! My goal is to block out a...

Hey guys, I haven't been active as of late due to work - they don't let us surf ANY external websites, how frustrating! - so I'm a bit out-of-the-loop on the whole audio front. Apple has a new promo where you can get a free iPod with the purchase of a computer. Since I'm going to be...

Check this out guys, I saw a link to it on another forum and thought it was hilarious. It's Bill Gates posing for the magazine Teen Beat in 1983. http://blog.monkeymethods.org/2005/0...teen-beat.html

Buy.com is having a sale on the Shure E2c earphones. (Product Link). This is limited so you guys might want to jump on this. Be sure to use SOME type of coupon. If I were you, I would use this one: 10% off total. That 10% off coupon brings the total down to $58.49 with free shipping!

Well, I just got a new camera and I've been having fun playing with it. Here's a shot of my dog; KC. She's a long-haired dachshund and she's enjoying a nice bone. (Click here for hi-res) Here's my Musical Fidelity a308 cd player: (Click here for hi-res) I'll take some more...

Hey guys, I saw this on Fatwallet and thought some of you would appreciate knowing. Outpost.com is selling the Creative Nomad MuVO 4gig music player for only $109.99. You can find the link here. I hope this helps some of you guys.

Long story short, I went to a rummage sale and picked up a bunch of old portable CD players because I know you guys like them. I paid from $2-10 for them and I'd be willing to send these to anyone who would really like them. I want to set a few rules to keep this fun. First, only one portable cd...

My mother is a member of a local church that holds a huge rummage sale. Tens of thousands of people show up at the sale because there is an enormous amount of stuff donated. She asked me if I'd like her to get me anything the day before the sale when the volunteers can purchase stuff before the...

*** If you don't feel like reading a long narrative, just skip down to where I've placed the four stars. **** Over the past few years my father and my sister have accumulated a good deal of junk. They have an unusual method of accomplishing this: they drive around and look for it on the side...

Hello there. I've decided to change my setup simply because I want to try something new (I do this now and then). I currently own a Meridian 508.20 which sounds amazing. The Meridian has spoiled me. Because of this I'd like to move to something that is at least on the same level as the Meridian...

Maybe it's this time of year that gets people riled up. Maybe it's world events that have got peoples' stress and anger level at an all time high. Whatever it is, it is unnecessary. I am writing this post because, as of late, I have noticed that people in general are full of anger these days...

I bought a collection of CDs produced by Hollywood Records and they have got to be the worst quality CDs I have ever bought. These CDs are extremely thin. When I picked them up by the edges they bent inwards. I have never had a CD do that before; CDs are supposed to be stiff! When I began...

After switching from headphones to speakers I have been enjoying music a lot more. When I owned a headphone setup I found it a pain to sit in one place, have to keep from moving my head, or even have to deal with that cable dragging after me. Annoyances such as that made me hesitate when it came...

My speaker system finally came together today when I had the time to go out and buy sixteen concrete blocks from Home Depot. I wanted to spend the most money I could on what I felt mattered on my speaker system so I spent $26 for the concrete blocks as opposed to $100 + for decent stands. The...

Hello there, I have a few extra opamps that I am never going to use. I would be happy to give these away to any Head-Fi member who would put these to good use. I have two of each of these: OPA2604AP OPA2132PA <-- No longer available. OPA637BP OPA627AP <-- No longer available...

Hello there. I have a Technics SL-PD687 five-disc CD player similiar to the Technics CD player that Duncan spoke about in this thread. I haven't used the CD player in ages and it's simply taking up space in my room. I've been thinking and since I don't use it and I never will, I'd be willing to...

Hello there, I heard the AKG K1000's with the Fisher 400 again yesterday at the Milwaukee meet and loved the combination for the second time. I'm definitely going to get a pair of K1000's. The Fisher looks like a great piece of equipment also, but I am curious; does anyone have any...

I want to share a little story with all of you. I went to FedEx to mail off a package today and it took me over an hour. This is what happened: I went to FedEx right after getting out of school and got there around 4:30. Earlier in the day I had packed two boxes I wanted to ship and I figured...

Sennheiser HD650 Review: The Sennheiser HD650's have been the only headphone I have listened to since I received them from Jan Meier. They have been played for over a hundred and twenty hours. I would like to post a short review based on my listening experiences. Equipment used...

A few days ago I found a Meridian 508.20 on Audiogon and decided to buy it on a whim. I just received the Meridian today and as I was listening something occured to me. I know I'm not the first to say it, but this is the first time it has seemed like an absolute truth. Your source is the most...

Hello there. Recently I've put together a Stax headphone system consisting of the SR-404 signature earspeakers and the SMR-313 driver unit. I've been listening to them for hours upon hours this past weekend and I want to post some impressions. Before I do that, I'd like to thank ServinginEcuador...

Hello there. After Tuberoller's post about how great Chicago music fans are I've decided that I need to expand my CD collection. I really love artists with great voices. (Freddie Mercury is, in my opinion, the greatest singer I've ever heard.) I focus mainly on 'Classic rock' such as Queen, the...

Goose, Thank you for the props. My legs were getting tired. I've actually had a bit of experiance with DSL and SBC (unfortunately). SBC/Yahoo is a royal pain in the butt. Let me try to understand how you're using the DSL right now. How did they wire it in your home? Did they just activate...
