I see a post like this and I'm reminded why I keep coming back here. We can bitch and complain all we want, but in the end we are not all that bad. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...

Since there is no "outside" lets keep this civil. But I am curious, especially to those relatively new to the community, if reading a mod's comments holds more "weight" in your opinion. I voted no, but I'm afraid that is not the reality here. IMO, mods do have this influence here and can...

Is the chip in the T-amp discussed here available to the DIY community? Would this chip make for an interesting amp project?

One of the funniest comedian of our time. RIP.

AVGuide.com has a review of the MF-V3 Xray available for download in their July issue. Their April issue also has some headphone comparisons. Enjoy.

Just finished watching the Yanks vs. Boston game. Yanks win 5-4 in 13. What a crazy game. WOW!

There is a nice review at Tom's hardware on this external sound card. It packs some pretty neat features. When you go to the review,notice the phono inputs. (for turntables) Read about it here.

http://www.iwill.net/zmax/zmaxdp.htm Dual Opterons in a SFF?!? I'm a fan of SSF PCs, but this just might be a bit much. I would like to see how hot this would get with two 250s, two 36 gig raptors, a DVD burner, gig of ram, and a X800.

Now Mac users have something in common with wintel users. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1591850,00.asp

To all Head-Fiers: Please remember your mother today. If you are a mom, Happy Mother's day to you! Do any other country celebrate a similar holiday? (I know of the UK's Mothering Sunday coming up on the 21st)

Now you Nvidia fans didn't think that ATI would just sit back and do nothing? Tom's Hardware X800 review AnandTech X800 review Better performance, no ridiculous power requirements and the cheaper model even keeps up with the 6800 Ultra.

They're baaack!!! Anyone on the east cost remember '87? In some places the noise was so loud it deafened you. Quiz: A cicada's life cycle (depending on species) can be 13, 17, or 23 years. What do they all share in common?

It's prime viewing this week for all you wannabe astronomers. (myself included) As many as five planets will be visible to the naked eye! Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Tonight over the northern hemisphere, I got to see Saturn's rings, Mars, and the goddess of love Venus...

We always talk about how much money we spend on audio. Our greeting for newbies is "Welcome to Head-Fi, sorry about your wallet". Have you ever thought how much money you saved by not buying some over priced POS cans? ...or amp ...or CDP ...or whatever? How much money has Head-fi saved...

Here is a nice distro that lets you run a complete linux installation off a cdrom. This makes it really easy to try it out without going through a repartition of your exsiting hard drive. Very cool. I'm trying it out now and posted this using the konqueror browser that comes bundled with...

Normally I don't like to post ebay listings, but this one is an interesting beast. (for you nostalgic types) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3069535480 Looks like an oldie from the '70s. Has anyone else heard of it?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed the new forum. What are the new rules (if any) for posting pics of new products that we ourselves find on the web?

A class A SET/Headphone amp for $250? Has anyone heard it?

Has anyone heard of the new M1 turntable from M.F? The price should be around 5K. Features include: Body made from clear Perspex (Plexiglas?) A SME arm, custom designed for M.F. Extensive suspension/isolation system. Very high mass platter. DC step-less motor. Some European...
