REVIEW: HiFiman HM-601
I think I've found a solution for my specific problem: getting a mess 'o wav files to load into the 601 LE in a sequence that resembles the explicit ordered file names. I've no mp3 tags and no cue sheets for most of my albums, and the 601 was just shooting them into memory in some unfathomable...- catachresis

REVIEW: HiFiman HM-601
Packman, the sd card goes with the coppery strips up. You might need something thin to push the sd all the way to locking -- just like with many cameras. As for how to get the ordering of tracks accomplished, I'm at a standstill. Rockbox is not installing: tried both methods. Alpha, if you...- catachresis

REVIEW: HiFiman HM-601
Hey! I have a pressing question for you diehards who have retained your HM-601 LEs. I just got one and am tentatively happy with sound quality. But I'm having severe difficulties getting the tracks transferred to the device to play in any rational order. My ancient DAPs have not FLAC...- catachresis

Safely spike your speakers to any type flooring.
Big Honkin' Spikes--Uncommonly Cheap I am not connected with this fellow other than that I bought some of these big spikes in a fit of upgrade-itis. A few years back, I spent about $75.00 on "crafted" sold brass spikes with floor dimples. The brass cones are *tiny* and they lifted... -
Ecost -- Refurbed (Official Sony-USA) MDR-V900HD Headphones-$89.99 + Shipping
Shipping was especially fast and these arrived today. I won't make any rash comparisons, but they sound *very* good indeed. They are closed, so not so airy or spacious as open cans. Nonetheless, they maintain a bit of air, and they are quite good at separation. They have luscious mids. ...- catachresis

Leather conditioner?
I used mink oil and dubbin for *many* years. About five years ago, I got a stunning pair of vintage Italian hiking boots off *bay. They'd been in somebody's basement for a decade. I virtually soaked them in mink oil, hoping to restore their suppleness. The entire top 3mm of the leather just...- catachresis

moderate priced racks
For only $1500.00, I got this great deal on three 2'x4's and six breeze blocks, all of which had been treated with magic anti-resonant black spray paint. My Wadia iPhone LOD has never sounded so expensive! Seriously though, I ended up getting one of these big-ass Gorilla Racks from Sears: it... -
Similar to Philip Glass`Dracula?
The previous Kronos Quartet cd of Glass' works is also very fine and very lyrical. I think that Cliff Martinez's soundtrack for S. Soderbergh's remake of Solaris is quite elegant and faintly minimalist. It's not a big swooning Goth-romance affair though. Howard Shore and Ornette Coleman...- catachresis
