Anyone here see the new Duracell commercial about the firefighters? I saw it a few min ago, and could have sworn the headphones shown were Grado HP-1s If anyone happens to see it when it comes on, please take a close look at the cans!

As the title asks, has anyone demoed the new Triport OE? I work at a Geek Squad inside a Best Buy and get a nice discount on stuff, and was wondering how these compare to the regular Triport. http://www.bose.com/controller?event...riport_oe&ck=0

I just got this album from a friend who works at a record store (yeah, a few hours early!!!), and all I can say is wow! The music & lyrics are GREAT so far (at track 3 now) and the recording quality is quite decent Please post your opinions!

First off, yes I am starting this thread to help bring Ultrasone into the spotlight here. Their different, yet very special headphones deserve some attention! No I don't work for or have any ties to Ultrasone. I took delivery on a pair of PROline 750s from Headroom a little over a week ago...

Anyone know of a way to use iTunes with Windows XP x64, or some other app that is compatible? It's pretty pathetic that Windows x64 has been out so long, and Apple has yet to create a compatible version Oh, I tried the Redchair software, and it wouldn't work either.

Anyone interested in attending a Head-Fi meet in NC? The meet could be held in Cary at Drew of Moon Audio's office, at his house in Holly Springs, or at my place in Fayetteville. Please post here if you are interested, choose a day (or days) in the poll, and let us know which location would be...

I was just reading over Drew's mall ad, and saw that Moon Audio is close to releasing a new balanced tube amp designed by K&K Audio. They don't have a name for it yet, but the specs look pretty good Anyone know anything else about it? Quote: Originally Posted by MallFi Ad The...

I was cleaning out my HD-650 today, and noticed that there is a tiny cut in the film over the left driver. I never noticed any distortion or degraded sound before, but I put on a bass heavy track and there was a little crackling. Sounded almost like a blown subwoofer. The HD-650 replacement...

I've recently discovered a site that sells upgrade chips for my Parasound DAC. The stock Parasound is 16bit/48khz max, would it be worth the price to upgrade it to 24bit/96khz? The upgrade kits are selling for around $180US.. http://www.audiotuning.de/index.html?1-54-digital.html

http://www.razerzone.com/ Wait a few seconds for the flash to load. The Razer gaming mouse/mousepad company has developed a new soundcard & and a headphone they named the HP-1. Quote: Originally Posted by Razer The Razer Barracuda™ HP-1 Gaming...

So, I recieved my new RS-1 from TTVJ today (excellent price!!!), and the cable seems a little lighter than that of my (now ATAT's) older RS-1.. I can't say if they sound any different, because of burn-in and general age difference, but the cable is definately a little lighter. BTW, the new...

The mailman just dropped off this strange box... wonder what's inside? Why, it's a modified Parasound 1500 DAC! So, I set it up and had a listen. First impressions are that this is a very smooth sounding source with a huge soundstage and extremely good bass definition...

Will a DAC that only accepts a 16bit signal work with a EMU 1212m? The DAC is a heavily modded Parasound 1500 with PCM63s.

Has anyone here ever heard a Parasound D/AC 1500? I've got my eye on a heavily modded one @ Audiogon, but there isn't too much info out there about them. How would something like this compare to a newer DAC in the $200-400 range? Link: http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.p...onv&1144290211...

I've recently purchased two Okkervil River albums, Down the River of Golden Dreams & Black Sheep Boy. This is some seriously beautiful emotional music! It's amazing that they aren't more popular, grab one of their albums next time you are out!

I cannot express my excitement with understandable words. Just read here: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/152...headlines=true\\ Ok. It seems to me that D'arcy may help, but James might be out. James was one hell of a guitarist through the years, but he wasn't a major member of the group...

It turns out that I have recently found a large sum of money in my name, and I plan to use some of it for a Grado rig. I will most definately be purchasing the RS-1 (<3 them!), and I'm looking for a good tube amp to power them. So far I'm looking at the Mapletree Audio Design Ear+ Purist HD. Can...

http://www.419eater.com/html/okorie.htm It's a long read, but definately worth it! What an idiot!

Just want to send out a reminder to everyone out there who keeps their music on a HD to make backups! My main storage drive went out today (completely dead, been working on restoring at least some of the data all day), but thankfully I made a backup of the music folder a few weeks before. If...

You can view your stats by typing in your player name here: http://bf2s.com/ Here's mine: http://bf2s.com/player/saturnine/ I just hit Master Sgt. not too long ago, and will be bumped up to First Sgt. if I can ever get the required knife combat badge & both aerial badges..

I recently purchased some awesome music from bands like The Dubliners & Lunasa and I'm looking for some more great Irish music! I'm part Irish, and something in this music seems to touch me like none other. Please recommend some good bands with an Irish sound!

To anyone here who is a Josh Ritter fan, the new single "Thin Blue Flame" from 'The Animal Years" available 04/04/06 is available for free legal download here: http://www.joshritter.com/v2/thinblueflame.html For those who haven't heard of Josh Ritter, his music is a little Nick Drake with a...

Hi, I just found a vintage Marantz ST325 tuner for a good price ($2 ), and I want to integrate it into my current system. Only problem is that it uses a non-standard power connector. It looks like a 3-prong molex, and is labeled: Top connector: GND Middle connector: 15.6V - 120MA Bottom...

I've been looking to purchase a decent turntable for a while now, and the time is almost here. I'm looking to spend under $300 if possible, but I could spend a little extra. So far I'm looking at either the Goldring GR-1.2 or Music Hall MMF-2.1. I also dont mind buying used. What I'm looking for...

I have been a fan of Kenna's "New Sacred Cow" since I heard "Hell Bent" back in 02. Does anyone know what Kenna has been up to these days? I've been looking at their website and all I see are updates from over a year ago, and the forums are mostly advertisements for free Ipods/etc. Just curious
