I'd say the meet was definitely a success!   Thanks again to everyone who made this happen!   Feel free to post impressions, pics, etc here on this thread.

Obviously in this community we share a common interest in music and more specifically audio playback.  I also know many of us have other hobbies--watches, fishing, cars, computers... this list could go on forever.  Well, one of my other hobbies is fitness, and I know I'm not alone.  Life is...

Yes, I love sandwiches.   I know I am not alone.   Care to share your favorite sandwich? Maybe we'll find some gems to try...

Below you'll find a very short (and incomplete) list of specific songs I prefer to use for testing various subjective FR responses on gear.  I may add or remove songs whenever I feel, I just thought this would be a good place to store my list for others to view.  I may even come back and label...

I noticed this on Sennheiser's webpage:   http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/home_en.nsf/root/private_headphones_hifi_wired-headphones_504767   I know a lot of people around here aren't that interested in low end Senns, but I really enjoy the HD448 as an easy portable.   I'm quite...

Hey guys,   I have been rolling with Songbird for awhile after becoming free of the shackles of iTunes, but I have noticed a couple of problems that I just can't accept.   1) Drop and drag functionality failed constantly - this is NOT acceptable 2) iPods appear to be invisible 3) It...

Hey guys,   I have been using these buds for awhile as my "cheap workout phones".  I have never identified them, I thought maybe you guys could do me a favor and maybe ID these.  They came in a cloth bag... I don't remember exactly how I obtained them, but it may have been with a laptop...

I've read a lot about the ATH M50s here on head-fi, and they seem to be a favorite around here.   I'm curious what your thoughts are on the SRH840s?  I've been helping a friend pick out a new set of closed cans for ~150 and those are the two we've got it narrowed to atm.   He will use...

Hey Head-fiers,   I have recently been looking to improve my sound setup.  I have extensive experience in the car audio world, and some more recent experience with home audio... these include installation, testing, and troubleshooting.  Unfortunately, with this audio is more on a macro...
