Have you tried muting all unnecessary inputs and outputs in your volume control panel? Placing the sound card as far as possible from other cards in the PCI slots could help a bit too.

I'm sure the Phantom is just that good but it sells for 170€ here. That's just crazy for a 350W PSU.

Just to give an alternative the Casio Exilim series has been praised. I think the cameras use Canon's excellent optics (like many cameras these days).

Headphile.com has a HD5x5 cable available but it kind of seems funny because the cable has a sub-mini jack in the headphone end. At least this PDF tells that the HD5x5 series has something completely different. I personally wouldn't mind Larry advertising his product here a bit

You don't until you click it. The actual operation of a php script (the most common language used to implement more complicate sites) is hidden from the client side. Until you run the script, i.e. click the link, you have no idea what it does. Even a simple...

The first Nokia N-Gage has stereo MP3 play if you can get over the sidetalkin' Also I think it's the cheapest S60 phone around. If you can overcome its looks it's a real bargain.

I already have a Creek OBH-2 MkII power supply that came with my amp. It's supposed to be a quality 24V supply. Doesn't say on the top if it's a linear one. Would you have any better knowledge if I can use it with the PCII? Figured I (or maybe my father - he's more handy with these ) could do an...

I don't understand what's the big deal with the Da Vinci Code. Maybe it's the publicity that made lots of people who usually don't read anything read it, but I believe that for people who enjoy reading anyway the book was pretty ordinary (this said in the most non-pretentious way possible - I'm...

The Porta Corda II coming hopefully soon enough I think I see an E-MU 0404 already looming in the horizon. Then I'll prolly spend half the year pondering should I get the A500 or MS-1

Could we get an update on the paid list just so that I know my payment was received and identified. I'm planning to go offline on Friday morning for the rest of the year. It would be nice to know there wasn't problems before that.

You could try Arles Image Web Page Creator. IIRC it's free and it makes fine plain HTML galleries. Should create thumbnails automatically too.

Didn't know if I should PM Jude or PeterR so instead I'll just post here. Didn't quite get it when's the actual shipping going to happen. I'll be off for the holidays and be back on the new year's eve. I don't know about my post office's return policy but it would be best if my amp was sent...

So does this make my pre-factory fire, made in Ireland, 120 ohm HD595 special? And more valuable?! Dang, have to hold on to these and see if they're some kind of collector's item in the future. Nah, I'm only kidding. I'll keep'em for their great sound

EU/1 Paid 12/12/2004. Jan will need a new assembly line just for this group buy. Aww, crap. I visit the site for the first time since I bought my equipment (and was happy with it btw) and what happens? Sorry wallet.

I would imagine for the ultimate speed increase you'd need to get the Plextor Premium. Also they should fly right through any Copy Controlled "CD" on which most cheaper quality CD-ROM's have difficulties. They're a little pricy though. Oh and of course you can tone down the error correction...
