So after some time looking for a job I've been accepted for a position in MD that matches what I'm looking for. I have a car and all my belongings are here in CA so I'll be driving across the country to my new location with my essentials. I'll be shipping the nonessentials since it'll be easy to...

In a few days I'll be driving from northern California down to southern California, and I used what little music I had in my portable cd binder up on the way up. Now I need some recommendations for good beats to drive to. Any suggestions? Note I did do a search, just would like to see if anyone...

I've started building a pair of Zaph's Bargain Mini's (ZBM) along with Zaph's SR-71. I'll be documenting my build progress in this thread with pictures and comments. Making this thread somewhat for your entertainment and for me to use it somewhat as a log of progress (or lack thereof) as these...

You know those small parts (Jacks, switches, knobs, buttons, etc etc) that are often the last parts to pick up, but are often the first parts to be seen when people see your project? I was looking up what switch to use for my project when I wondered how many other people go thru the same thing...

This was at Yodabashi Camera, so if you've been there then you already know how it is. I was walking thru their Denon section when I noticed they had this CD out for display: I attempted to buy it, but sadly it was not for sale No shortage of A-T headphones here! They had the D2000 up...

The Twistd Pear Opus DAC board is "..based around the Wolfson WM8740 DAC chip. It offers I2S input, stereo balanced output, hardware control of DAC options via jumpers, as well as a header for optional software control. The DAC board can also be configured to allow the WM8740 to operate in...

It's been a fun day listening to the gear and doing a bunch of A/B'ing....and this isn't even the meet

While re-terminating my D5000's at Aaron's place, I thought it would be a good idea to take a picture to put an end to the questions about the differences between the two cables. Personally, I thought my D5000 cable was pretty good, and assumed the D2000's were also....I was wrong. Giant...

Last thursday I had PRK laser surgery on both my eyes. I still can't see totally clearly, but as of yesterday I'm seeing 20/40-ish with both eyes. Surprisingly I had no pain whatsoever and haven't used any of the Percocet that they gave me. I did sleep rather well since the surgery, I feel like...

Well I'm finally here for my laser surgery, that's going to be tomorrow. But since everything was short notice I don't have a plan for places to see and things to do for the 7 days I'm here for. Anyone have suggestions on stuff I should see/do?

So today I was stumbling around Akiba trying to find the panel mount xlr jacks that mounted from behind. Never did find those, but did manage to come across these spiffy shops: Tubes of all sorts: Caps of all sorts, and more:

I know this is head-fi and all, but I've been noticing a few posts here showing woodworking projects so I thought maybe you folks might be interested in my feeble attempt at making a HT sub I've been working on this during my free time, so it's been a work in progress for a while, but I'm...

I've seen more than a few posts about the beta22 pop up recently, so I figure I'm not the only one getting ready to build one Post here if you're thinking of building one, currently building one, or already built one! If you already built one, pics and specs would be handy! I'm planning on...

Arrived yesterday, and I gotta say WOW! Haven't been here since the reunification, and I've missed it Can any recommend any good places to shop (in general)?

I've always been a fan of the glossy wood finish on a few of Audio-Technica's headphones. So when I picked up the D5000's I was somewhat disappointed that they came in a rather dull finish. I was mulling this fact over the other day when I realized I had some liquid compound in my detailing...

I've had this thing for a while, and never opened it up to see what made it tick. Got curious while thinking about it at work today so I opened it up when I got back. What I found interesting was there was nothing hindering access to the internals, even the rubber feet were stuck next to the...

I know this isn't particularly relevant to audio, but I figured that this would be the best place to ask I've searched high and low for the name for these jacks, and for the life of me I can't find what they're called and where to get them. What I am trying to do is remove the attached...
