    Mark Schifter of AV123 charged with defrauding charities of over $150,000!

    ...wow I'd say it's hard to believe but it seems like the people you would say that about are the people who do things like this. What a shame. I guess we'll see what happens.

    Any skiers here on head-fi?

    I ski! Tahoe is my second home, Squaw is preferred. I actually blew out my right ACL in January this year at Squaw doing some night skiing. I have to wait for surgery cause I also have a compression fracture on the tibia. The bone must heal before any drilling can commence. Just means...

    turntable help

    I've been looking at a lot of "beginner vinyl" info around these forums as I have questions my self. There are a lot of posts like that which started this thread out there.... It would be nice to have some sort of a FAQ or something like that with some general setup tips and pointers, etc...

    About to take the plunge...

    I also have a DV336SE and 650's and like them very much. I used that combo a lot for Rock/Metal, some Blues/Jazz and more heavy music before I got my Woo. In hind sight, I would save a bit more and increase the budget. If you are not willing to wait, both the LD's and the DV have awesome...

    Johny Cash. He got remixed, oh yes....

    That was BS. I would like to punch the guy that remixed this in the mouth..... Terrible. The video made it worse. I wish this did not exist. Bleargh!! I just started to watch Snoop's video thing... also terrible. Cash should never, ever, be played over a drum machine. And that's much...

    Best Contemporary indie Artists?

    I don't know if they are considered indie, and I don't really think I listen to indie, but I like Beiruit and a similar band, Devotchka. Good music.

    How important are aesthetics to you?

    I admit I have not read this entire thread, so I am not sure if this has been brought up. I like to compare the way I feel about aesthetics in audio equipment to the way *most* (more mature) people feel about a spouse in that looks are certainly important, but only dictate small percentage of...

    Winter heating temps

    Turn on a tube amp or two. 68°F is most comfortable for me.

    looking for car stereo with front USB/SD

    The DEH-P710BT is quite nice, but again, if you are looking to save some money, I would shoot for last years models. The audible differences are nil and the money you will save makes the older models well worth the price. If you don't plan on upgrading or amping your indoor speakers, just...

    looking for car stereo with front USB/SD

    Pioneer has a great line of decks that support USB. I have owned two Pioneer decks in two cars and will be installing yet another in my newest car soon. I have found that you can snatch up last years models for a super cheap price this time of year as well. I use a 32gb Patriot flash drive...

    Cubicle living

    I am currently (and sadly) working in a cubicle these days. When I first started listening in the office I used a pair of Grado SR-225's unamped from my laptop in the office. I liked these because I could hear other conversations, my phone ringing, the boss yelling and music that sounded rather...

    One source for three amps?

    I had considered this but was trying to avoid both RCA spliters and running the signal through all of my equipment. With tubes that is a lot of heat and electricity. Thank you regardless.

    One source for three amps?

    I have a Cambridge 840c which I use primarily with my Woo WA6SE. I also have a 2 channel speaker amp and a DV 336SE which are currently not used. I would like to be able to use all three amps (not at the same time) with the Cambridge with out having to move cables around every time. I am...

    How many heaphones do you have? And why?

    SR 80 (not used), SR 225 (at the office), K701 & HD 650 (at home). I started with the SR 80, then the 225. From there I listened to many many headphones before settling on the K701 & 650 for regular home use. I would like to add a higher end Grado and a K1000 in the future, but I am hoping to...
