It's been awhile, Head-fi...
So, a lot of stuff has been going down in my life but at one point or another I've spent too much on headphone gear. I'm moving to the Bay Area (is the annual bay area thing done?) and might be doing some sound work. My new girlfriend is into headphones so I'm just here to say hey and see what...- MorbidToaster

Comic-fi (Collectors? Pictures!)
The significant purchases thread was kinda turning into Comic Book hour so I thought I'd give this thread another shot. I recently rediscovered my love for comic books, and it seems my partner has, too. I picked up a few to kickstart my collection again and the gem so far is Daredevil 131...- MorbidToaster

How Loud Do You Listen? (SPL, not 'o'clock')
While I realize my iPhone isn't the best instrument to measure this with...according to it I listen between 80 and 90db. This is about what I expected. I bet it gets around 96 if I'm really rockin'. Not really sure what to think of that. I've developed tinnitus recently, but strangely...- MorbidToaster

'Photo Viewer' Script Crashes (& Ad Problem)
Every time I click a photo in a thread it either crashes my browser or gives me the option to 'stop the script'. It's been going on for awhile now. It's even slowed my computer to a crawl sometimes.

(New) Line Magnetic 502CA Tube DAC
Saw this beauty at my dealer today. A new addition since my last visit a week or so ago. The carrot orange caught my eye. :) Build quality is great and judging from my experience with Line Magnetic so far I'd bet it sounds pretty good. I know I'll eventually end up with another DAC even...- MorbidToaster

Peter Gabriel - So (2012 CD vs High Res) Staggering Differences
I just thought I'd share this with you guys here at Head-fi. I've talked about how good the 2012 remaster of PG's 'So' is, but I never realized something about it until today. I bought the box set over the holidays. It comes with CDs, DVDs, LPs, and a 24/48 download of the new master...- MorbidToaster

Interest Check: SR-009 + Cavalli Liquid Lightning (w/ Jena Labs XLR Cable)
FIRST OF ALL. I swear to god if I hear any "you just got it" (its) I'm going to flip.

New Apple Stuff (October 2012)
So...Lots of little updates today. New iMacs everyone has been waiting for. Look nice, but I'd say they're going to take up the same amount of space. iPad Mini. I honestly think it'll make a better remote than a full sized iPad...and considering that's all I'd use it for...we'll...- MorbidToaster

Build a New (Tiny) PC - Part Suggestions
For starters, I want something small. Probably going to pair it with a tiny monitor as well, but that's beside the point. The last time I built a PC I waited until the first i7s hit the market and bought one on day one. It's been awhile and I'm needing to know what I've missed out on...- MorbidToaster

Dead & Gone (Bands after a member's death)
How do people feel about this subject? While I realize it's a bit of a sore subject I realized tonight that 2 of my favorite songs by The Who were done after Keith Moon died. You Better Bet, and Eminence Front. Both fantastic songs, IMO.- MorbidToaster

Best Way to Receive an International Payment?
