I am going to Toronto for the first time in a few days. I have never been to Canada so I have a few questions. I will be staying close to downtown at my friend's place so I'll be fine with transportation. 1) Where is the best place to exchange currency? 2) What are touristy places I...

I got my very first speeding ticket today. I got written up for 60 in 45. Because I was in New York State, I am facing 4 points on my license which absolutely blows.What can I do not to get the points on my license? Is hiring a lawyer my best bet? I live in NYC and this happened in Catskills...

I need help from Sydney Head-Fiers. Where do you guys shop for home appliances? My parents are visiting my grandparents in Sydney and want to buy them a few things, but they cannot find any stores with good selection. Can you please recommend good stores with big selections? Thanks

Looking for someone in NYC to do me a small favor. I have a pair of K240s that have been recabled before they got to me and left side does not work. I dont want to deal with shipping it anywhere so looking for someone local. Will pay with beer.

I have a 1.5 year old cousin and my uncle asked me to find them a nice digital camcorder. I have no idea what to look for in them. I like Canon's products in general so I looked at Canon ZR-950 and ZR-930. The only requirements is it has to be small and easy to use and budget of around...

I gotta send in my cousin's K81DJs. I didn't catch the entire address and don't feel like calling back coz it takes AGES to get to a person. Does anyone have their address? Thanks

I have no need for this, but I am sure there are plenty of people looking for a good pair. APureSound has a pair they r selling for a pretty low price considering the current going rate for these cans. Check it out APureSound - Where The Music Is Always Pure PS: no idea why link comes out...

Who else would like to go to AudioCube's NYC store opening preview party? They are right next to NYU in the village. It is Friday December 7th from 5PM to 8PM. Would be cool to get a small group of Head-Fiers there. AudioCubes NYC Store Log

Check out this incredible artist. His work is just amazing. His site is www.afremov.com and he has a large ebay store where most of his paintings are sold http://stores.ebay.com/Afremov-Art What do you think? PS: I hope I am not violating any rules.

I am thinking of finally picking up a guitar. I took a semester of classes in high school almost 2 years ago and loved it. I was pretty good, but did not continue learning after the class ended so now I forgot everything. Now with new Guitar Hero game, I decided to get an actual guitar. What do...

Don't walk... RUN!!! I have no idea how, but APureSound managed to get a stock of brand new Koss KSC35! These have been out of production everywhere for over a year... I am SOO getting a pair to replace my 75s. http://www.apuresound.com/

Alex has posted a very detailed tutorial for his Sennheiser HD580/600/650 mod. I just modded my very own HD580 according to his tutorial and it took me less than 5 minutes... WOW I heard the difference right away! Everything just sounds better. http://apuresound.com/hdsennmod.html

Should I?

I am about to start building a Millett MAX. I was wondering if there is an easy solution for tube risers? I'd love to show off the tubes. I do not want to mount them on the lid, but just may be about 5-10mm higher. Thanks

I have a pretty nice Tissot watch. However, the glow in the dark material on the arms (not sure if im using correct names) doesn't really glow in the dark. Sometimes it glows when there is plenty of light, but doesn't glow in the dark. It has been like that since I got it a year ago, but never...

Thought I'd pass on a good deal. Was browsing www.APureSound.com and saw that Alex posted another great deal. He got recabled Koss ESP950 for a pretty good price. Electrostatic is not my cup of tea, but some of you might be interested.. http://www.apuresound.com/

Bored at work so was looking at pics on a pure sound's website... Saw that Alex is selling Denon D5000 with recable for $620 shipped! I talked to him about that exact cable when I got my D5000 and was quoted $200 + shipping + paypal fees for the recable.. this is one hell of a deal and don't...

I was wondering, do amps take longer to burn in if they are traveling approaching the speed of light? Or would they burn in faster or would they be burned in for you but not to the observer.

During my lunch break today, I went over to J&R and made a list of all decent headphones that they have in stock in the store. Grado: iGrado SR-60 SR-80 SR-225 SR-325i RS-2 (they might have SR-125, but I didn't see them) AKG: K271 K601 K701 Audio-Technica ATH-A700 ATH-ANC7...

Looks like I am the 1st one to get to a computer with internet, so I am starting the impressions thread. Thanks Thrice organizing a great meet and giving me a ride back to the metro. I gotta run so I'll post impressions later on.

I have been looking at both of these DACs for a couple of days now. I need a USB or firewire DAC to use with my computer. These two have sparked my interest because they fit under my budget $200 and seem like very good units. I like the M-Audio more because it has two RCA outputs opposing to...

I am sorry if this is the wrong section, if so, mods please move this. I am really in shock right now. I always thought very highly of AudioCubes and was actually willing to buy from them for higher price than pricejapan only because of their great reputation. However, this all changed right...

Hey guys! I want to buy an expensive item on ebay. However, the store that sells it is in NYC and therefore I have to pay tax (8.375% is a lot on such a purchase). I am looking for someone who lives in NJ, PA, CT or other states, but works in NYC so we could meet in the city. All details can be...

I was just browsing their site and noticed something new. When I clicked, I found a blog http://nyc.audiocubes.com/ Looks like they are opening a store in NYC. This is great news for all of us in the city, however, now we will be forced to pay tax on all AC purchases

I have a question for all of you. When someone asks you about hobbies, how do you call and explain our headphone hobby? I was actually asked this question at an internship interview and I didn't know how to professionally call and describe it so I left it out. I know some say "High End Audio"...
