Hey-   I tend to burn through headphones at a fast pace when I'm working out, so I'm trying to find something that meets the following criteria:   Most important: -Inexpensive (<$50) -Deep insertion into the ear canal (Soundmagic E30 was too shallow) -Built to be worn over the ear  ...

Hey all-   I'll post this in their sponsor thread as well (edit - couldn't as the thread is locked, but here it is in case anybody wants to read about the management changes), but I wanted to make sure I stuck a note in this forum as well in case anybody ever searched.   A few months...

Thought this might make an interesting read for some, particularly the first few paragraphs:   http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/03/in-early-2010-somewhere-high.ars

I feel like every time I'm at an audio show, somebody is playing the same (wonderful, and I think live) recording of Stevie Ray Vaughan - is there a single CD that is considered to be definitive? If so, which?

I think this is good today only, sorry for only noticing so late!   But the deal is at this website: http://www.wwstereo.com/deals/woot.aspx   Use the promo code "deals.woot"

From now until the end of the year, Whiplash audio is offering a free 8' TWag cable ($450 retail value) if you buy an HD800 from them:   http://www.whiplashaudio.com/holiday/HD800_sale.pdf

Hey guys,   I know everyone hates "what would you buy" threads, but I hoped this one would be sufficiently different to warrant asking...   My office is having a raffle to raise money for charity. Basically, people in the office will donate goods and services which will get bundled into...

Just got an email from CTS Audio advertising this deal. I know it sounds sketchy... but in order to get the deal, you can call Danny Rosenbalm at 615.377.8808 ext.15.   Enjoy, bassheads.  

I thought it would be fun to start a thread collecting funny pranks or prank ideas that you may have used on friends, family, and co-workers. Any good stories to share?

Thought I'd share - had the "Covert Affairs" pilot on in the background while doing some work and this blind guy at the CIA mentions he's wearing Grado RS2s and talks them up a bit (although he pronounces them Grah-do instead of Gray-do...)   Most direct high-end reference I've seen!

One quick note - when I'm typing a message, it will give me the little red squiggly underline if there is a word that's misspelled, but when I right-click on that word, it just brings up a cut/copy/paste menu - normally (as in the old version) when you right click on one of these words, it...

Hey Gents,   I figured this would probably be the right place to ask, but if this is better suited to something like the Members' Lounge let me know...   Looking for a new wired headset for my blackberry. The one thing I can't seem to find much information on is mic quality for any of...

Check out what my friend caught before finalizing her purchase:       Yes, that says $207.15 shipping for a $5.68 light bulb   Edit: See for yourself

I really like the new Head Gear section, I think it's a great idea. I had an idea for a feature that might make it even more useful, although I'm sure there will be some debate about this, but what if in addition to allowing users to rate gear, you allowed them also to tag a piece of gear with...

The way gear is laid out in the profiles is a little confusing now. Because the category (headphones, headphone amps) etc. is centered vertically, it is unclear where one category stops and the next begins without reading closely. More clear division between these would probably be helpful.  

Make terrorists see a dental hygienist. I have been lazy about flossing for the last couple of months and as a result was a squirming bloody mess at the dentists office today as the hygienist poked around my gums. I think it's a safe bet that terrorists probably take worse care of their teeth...

As the thread title suggests - I was wondering if anybody has done this in response to an internet scam and how it went from there.

Hey guys, I have found relevant bits and pieces through searching, but nothing that paints me a complete picture, so I thought I'd come to the computer audio gurus for help. I'm thinking about upgrading my computer from XP to Windows 7 and wanted to know what the implications would be for...

Was just sitting here listening to music and reflecting - what if someone could create some sort of algorithm for a DAC that would convert the stereo signal into a binaural signal for headphones? It seems like something like this should be doable theoretically, although I'm not sure what it...

Hey team, I tend to have a preference for slightly bright, extremely transparent and detailed presentations in my headphones - I love the K701, I have an HD800 on the way, and am also devoted to my Sony CD3K. The problem is, none of these are particularly forgiving of bad recordings, which...

Hey all, Was wondering who was planning on being at CES this coming year, and if anybody had any inside lines on hot Head-Fi products/companies to be on the look out for there. I'll be there for sure, Vegas weekends are always fun!

Hey guys, Thought I'd share a brief but interesting article from NYT.com - last year, vinyl sales were the most since they started tracking it back in 1991 - a 35% increase from the previous year! Check it out - maybe there's hope after all!

Has anybody done business with this website? They are selling the HD800 for ~$1,100 new... It looks semi-legitimate and uses PayPal for checkout (so you could theoretically file a dispute and get money back if you got scammed), but for some reason loads really slowly and there is no other...

Hey guys, We're on for December 5 at Myer-Emco at 2800 Clarendon Blvd, Arlington VA from 12-5pm. It should be a great time with a gracious host, an excellent group of Head-Fi-ers, and what's shaping up to be a top-notch set of gear. If you're planning on attending, post the gear you're...

ACK double post, sorry!
