Raiders fire Kiffin 4 games into second season - NFL - Yahoo! Sports Alot of the problems related to the Raiders has already been documented, mostly to do with Al Davis. One of the things I already knew was that anyone, who was really qualified to coach in the NFL, would never go coach the...

As a father of two small children (4 and 7), I usually yield to their entertainment choices while traveling in the family van. I usually line in my video IPOD into a cheap video player. Got the usual Dora the Explorer, Power Rangers, etc. at hand for them. I recently found myself taking a...

I've got a Jungson integrated amp that has at least one and maybe two capacitors that are swollen. These are part of a bank of 16 caps for, I believe, the power supply. I was thinking of replacing the swollen or maybe all the caps with some up spec'd caps. The current caps are branded "Capcom"...

I was wondering if there was anyone who preferred Push-Pull over single-ended amplification? I know of a few SE diehards but haven't really heard of anyone preferring Push-Pull typography. I know that there are tube amplifiers in these two forms but are there also SS amps in both forms as well...

Hope your having a good one.

I was talking with Ori yesterday and mentioned that I was not totally happy with the way the K1000's sound with the Cary. He mentioned that the 120ohm load of the K1000 might be a problem for the Cary. He suggested I try some power resistors (8ohm, 25watt) across the speaker terminals while the...

My bro had to back out of this at the last minute. Anyone interested in going to the Golden State Warrior game with me. They play the New Orleans Hornets tomorrow night at 7:35pm in Oakland. I have one spare ticket and can meet you up at the game or anywhere from Fremont (880) up to Oakland. The...

Nevermind. I'm not buying the component that required the 20amp IEC connector.

It's late Saturday night and just cruisin on Youtube looking for some old-school funk and came across this video. I was young back then and never saw anyone pluck the bass like Louis. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9svFc2cN5v0

I recently bought an original chassis MPX3 with the intention of buying some tube adapters from SinglePower. The best 6SN7s are just too expensive to deal with anymore. Those who have these SinglePower adapter (or others) know how nice it is to be able to re-tube your amps at a reasonable price...

A couple of head-fi'er have pm'ed me about my linear power supply I have for the SB3. I'm not a DIYer or play one on TV but wanted to post how easy this is to do. I would really appreciate any input from REAL DIY'ers for improvements, shortcuts, and any safety precautions that should be added...

I appologize if this has been posted before (I did search ), but I'm a sucker for things like this and I saw this ad on TV while down south one weekend: http://www.midnightspecial.com/ I really enjoyed watching this first video collection and can't wait for the next ones to arrive. Here...

Not very relevant but was wondering : For K1000 owners, do you terminate them with a 1/4" plug into a headphone amp or with 4 spade plugs into a speaker amp? Maybe both? I'm currently using 4 spades into the Cary. Edit: Former owners of K1000 may chime in as well.

I get this email and of course I don't believe it but can't think of what their trying to get from me on this. They asked for a phone number and address. Any ideas? Here is the email: Attn:Sir, Notification of Bequest. On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the Estate of Late...

My friend at work got sent on a business trip and has a pair of tickets for Steve Hackett (Acoustic Trio) that are not being used. It's for tomorrow (October 27th, Thursday), at 7:30pm at a place called "Cafe Du Nord" on Market Street. PM me if you are interested. No cost but must make...

I believe that Headroom used to have this or maybe I just don't know where to look. I've tried the search feature but have had no luck. Does anyone know where to find the frequency response curve for the K1000? Just got a DEQ2496 and want to see how close I am with my RTA. Thanks in advance.

My wife and I are thinking of purchasing a used Lexus SUV and the manufacturer recommends using high octane gas (I think 92 octane). Is this recommendation based on getting maximum performance only or does it also help in some way of keeping the engine in top condition. Will using lower octane...

Well, this is the movie I'm going to see on my annual trip to the movie theatre: http://www.wandg.com/ I'm so stoked about this as I'm a big fan of the 3 short movies. For me, the characters are much more engaging then the chickens. My dog's name is Gromit btw.

Didn't know where to post this so hope this is OK. I have 2 tickets to see the Stylistics/Chi-Lites/Heatwave and Peaches & Herb on Saturday June 25th at Oakland's Paramount Theatre. I cannot use these tickets as something last minute has come up, I'm willing to give these to anyone who wants...

I heard that the Northwest Airbus planes have personal entertainment systems for the passengers. Does anyone know, can you just plug a mini (1/8th) plug into this system or is there an adapter required?

I'm interested in upgrading my source so have been lurking here and audiogon and found this ad. But in the end decided to pass on this seller: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls....onv&1123375560 I have not dealt on Audiogon often but have rarely seen negative feedback there. And also...

I'm doing a slideshow for my parent's 50th anniversary party. I'm looking for any recommendations for music for the slideshow. I've got like four segments: Mom and dad before marriage The Wedding/Honeymoon The kids Emptynest / Grandkids I've got some old standbys like Carpenter's "We've...

Got a friend at work who was asking me about this brand. Never heard of it. Someone online (locally) was offering him a 5.1 speaker setup by this brand name. Supposedly highend, this new in the box setup retailed for ~$5k in 2003 and he's asking for $1k from my friend. Without any knowledge...

Long shot but thought I'd ask. Has anyone had any experience with any companies that recover data from hard drives that are no longer acessible? To make a long story short, my main drive was overwhelm with pop-ups and after going through a few reconfigurations, I decided to have it...

Couple of days ago, I received a second hand Cary SLI-80, that I bought on Audiogon. Amp and tubes arrived safely. I read the manual first (a first for me). Then I installed the tubes , hooked up my source and some cheap Cambridge Model Eight(?) speakers for a test drive. Even with the stock...
