I own about 30 DVDs. Used to own a lot more, but have since sold off most of them. Instead of movies, I am now more into collecting TV series, like Star Trek, Babylon 5, etc.

Off the top of my head, Charmed has been the worst series I have come across recently. The original trio of sisters are probably the worst actresses I have seen recently. The new one they added is pretty cute btw. I really liked Alyssa Milano in her younger days when she was on Who's the...

When was the last time anyone has looked inside their speaker cabinets? Most speaker manufacturers use plain vanilla 16 gauge copper wires to connect the binding posts to the speaker drivers. If anyone believes that multigrand cables make a difference in sound. They should: 1) Purchase...

See as Edwood has given away an external CD rom drive. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, and the Christmas to come. I am giving away my minty fresh copy of Children of the Dune 2 disc set. Shipping is on me, as long as it is within the U.S. All you have to do is to write a little analysis of the...

The 50k Panasonic pot is used ubiquitously in small portable amps. What is the life span of this particular pot? From what I understand, this pot will crap out in a few years time if not sooner. I used a couple of small portable amps with this pot, and I was less than impressed by its...

List your IQ, let's how bright headfi is.

Have a great birthday!

How would these 3 stack up against each other? Out of these 3, I have only owned the HR-2. From what I have heard, and based on my experience only, I found the HR-2 tend to smooth out too many details. Things I heard on other amps, even on the lowly headphone out on my integrated amp, were...

As many of you know, I was involved with a potential buyer for my amp, who claimed he was located in the U.K. From the very start, I got a bad vibe about this character. Thanks to a fellow audioasylum member located in the U.K., he helped me clear up all the disinformation that "potential...

I am trying to give this seller a call, but the phone number he gave me doesn't seem quite right. The country code for UK is 44. The phone number including the area code should be 10 digits. He gave me a 13 digit phone number. London's area code should be either 207 or 208. The number he...

Anyone have any experience with this player? It's a CD recorder, HD jukebox combo. Just purchased this player, hoping to use it as a standalone harddrive based jukebox. Product info

Seems like I am getting involved in this "scamming" mess more and more these days. Someone in London offered to purchase my amp. But he likes to do a direct wire transfer to my checking account. Should I be worried? I am never comfortable giving out my bank account info. Plus, that...

Just received this e-mail from God knows where. Yeah right, like I am going to get involved in overseas banking matters, with that lawyer probably going to ask for my bank account to pay some legal fees. How dumb do those scammers think I am? Dear Friend. As you read this...

Spoiler alert The end of the movie definitely has sequel potential. But I never thought the predators themselves can be host for the aliens. Do you guys think that alien that emerged from the predator is more powerful than aliens that had...

I've seen mods for Sony, Philips, Toshiba, Pioneer, CD players. But how come no one mods Yamaha CD players? I am getting a new Yamaha CD player. Can anyone suggest someone who can mod the analog section and the power supply of this Yamaha?

I was thinking about purchasing a 963sa, but decided against after having read all the stories about reliability problems with this model, poor service from Philips, etc. I also read their previous flagship SACD1000 had lots of quality control problems as well. What's up with Philips...

To all headfi resident electronics gurus, where does jitter come from? If I rip all my CDs to wav files to a harddrive, then hook up the optical out on my soundcard to a receiver's DAC, will there still be jitter?

Saw someone posted this on audioasylum, thought headfiers can benefit from these lessons as well. Audiophilia 101

Stolen straight from Xin's website

I just sold my Benchmark DAC1. And I am selling my trusted Yamaha CD changer. So I am left in the dire strait of being left without a source. Any suggestions? I would like to try SACD for my new source. Hopefully a changer. But I am worried about those budget SACD changers. I read that...

Audioadvisor sale

Which one is better? I am fine with just Yahoo mail.

Well, just sold my Benchmark DAC1. All I have left now are my 2 headphones, HD600 and ER4S, and my Yamaha CD changer. Honestly, I have no idea why I decided to sell everything off. Has anyone else been in similar situations before? Where they just decided to sell off everything? I guess...
