Same here - I was  not looking for a full skeleton, but I did like this "heartbeat" peek inside.  

Some of you may know him as the guiding light behind Porcupine Tree. Some have continued to follow his solo career. Well, here is a free download of some of his best solo songs from Amazon. Don't know how long it will be free, but check it out...

Adam - are those real molded models or did you use a 3D printer?

Before Beats and Skullcandy headphones, the average Joe/Jane thought $20 earbuds were all you needed. Thanks Apple. At least people now have been exposed to somewhat better sound through "upmarket" (to them) headphones to plug into their i-phones and Droids. It was as much a fashion statement as...

Thanks everyone. Yeah, she's got some real talent ... definitely from her mother. Unfortunately she is tone deaf, so she didn't inherit any of my musical talent. That went to my younger daughter.

My wife is also a quilt teacher. Here's some of her award winning textile art.   \  

Some of my daughter's fine art from way back in high school - oils      

Unfortunately I have no skill with a pencil, but I do have some skill with musical instruments. My family does indeed have artistic talent, so is it OK if I brag for them?   Here's some of my daughter's artwork. This one is a graphic novel she is drawing for a school project (New Media Design...

I was researching desktop speakers for my home computer and finally decided that I am paying a lot for the electronics/amp, which many report a problem with after a year or two. So I decided to go with an un-powered speaker and then by an inexpensive T-amp from China (@$60). There are lots of...

Gotcha, I tend to agree with you. I've convinced her that closed cans would likely be just fine. Which would you recommend?   Senn's HD280 Senn HD439   what else?

Or even a set of closed cans that don't have active noise cancelling circuitry but do a pretty decent job of isolating the ears from exterior noise. Again, under $100

She wants headphones she can hear music and use for noise cancellation (so around the ear closed back). I want to spend less than $100 for said headphones.   Recommendations?

She is in college, but she uses them for everything, including sleeping at night. They will need to take a beating.

I need to find a set of earbuds for my daughter for Christmas that are rugged and cost about $50 or less.   Need recommendations.   thanks, Bob

My father in law is driving my mother in law crazy, because he can't hear the TV sufficiently at normal volume levels. She wants to get him a pair of headphones that are wireless, have an independent volume control (so he can play them as loud as he needs to), and can connect to the TV.  ...

At the Audioquest presentation at the NYC show a month or so ago I thought I heard them say that using the "proper" USB port to connect your DAC can make a difference in the playback performance?   Does it really matter which USB port on the computer is used? If so, then which one is best and...

Another suggestion - see if you can find a Millett mini-max used, or build the kit from beezar. Sounds glorious with my 600's.

I use this/him  

I've also been researching computer desktop powered monitors. I think I've decided on these over any of the others mentioned here. They seem to have all I am looking for but far better sound than the others from on-line reviews. Anyone here heard them?   Emotiva Airmotiv 4S - $299 MSRP but...

To Dark Wizzie & Head Injury - I guess some people will always remain closed minded and feel justified that their opinions are the only ones that matter. Too bad for you.   Good bye.

  I've been an Audiophile and music lover for more years than I care to remember. I've seen oodles and oodles of these threads. Here's the only truth that comes out of them:   - nobody is really going to change their mind about what they believe - the "engineer" types are not going to try...

Check out this 6 Moons review of the Triode Wire Labs "Loom"   http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews2/triodewire/1.html   Also remember the NYC show this weekend. Triode Wire Labs is teaming up with Volti Audio (http://www.voltiaudio.com) and Raven Audio (http://www.ravenaudio.com), Sept 26-28...

http://hifimediy.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=124   I ordered the hifime Sabre Android DAC about 2 weeks ago, then we left on vacation. I got back Saturday and picked up our mail and there it was in a little bubble pack. Very tiny. No instructions. I plugged it into my...

Try a maple butcher block with some Rollerblocks under it. ALmost any kind of Rollerblock device will do just fine. Here's a picture of mine: Enjoy, Bob
