I saw online that Best Buy had the Klipsch R6i II IEM's available and I wanted to check them out. At my local Best Buy all available pairs were in the clearance section for $28.99, so of course I bought a pair. If you're looking for a good sounding set of earbuds these are a steal if they are...

I just took my DT-770's offshore with me for only the second time, as I wanted to keep them at home as "good" full-size headphones.  My Etymotic ER-6i's had been out of commission for awhile until I got a colleague at work to solder on a new minijack.  Trouble is, when the jack is turned a...

OMG! PHISH 3D: In Theaters April 30th

In honor of darkangel's VERY long lived and multi installment threads about black metal, I thought I would start a thread about stoner metal, stoner rock, sludge, doom, or any type of heavy music that incorportates heavy guitars, lots of bass, and is generally slow paced (sometimes midtempo, but...

I have recently lost my UE SuperFi 5 Pros and I need to replace them. I have recently started listening to lots of stoner rock/metal like Down, Acid King, Queens of the Stone Age, Electric Wizard, etc. and I would like an IEM that can provide a nice thick chunky bottom end. Fine detail is not a...

Those of us with vinyl rigs will often trot out to the local thrift store to find the odd diamond in the rough, a nice classical music recording or perhaps overlooked rock record in good shape amidst the tons of water damaged Christmas albums. But sometimes you run across a strange item that...

I was considering that the major sellers of digital music files have not started offering lossless downloads. I would love to be able to purchase full albums losslessly from iTunes or any other service, but it does not appear that such offerings are on the horizon. It occurred to me that part...

I've had these IEM's for a while and I like their sound, but the stiff cable is a pain and makes them unenjoyable. I have read a few threads explaining that their are replacements available, but it's hard to glean exactly the info I want from them. So here are my interests. I want an Ultimate...

I have just replaced the harddrive in my Dell E1705 laptop with a 320 gig for movies/TV, etc. Problem is that the processor is a bit too slow to convert my DVD's at a sufficiently rapid rate for my tastes. I am currently using Vista 32 bit, and the RAM on my computer is 533mhz. Perusing...

Just got finished re-reading The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, and finally I managed to get through The Silmarillion, and I really enjoyed it. Now I'm ready for more Tolkien, but there is a bewildering array of posthumous Tolkien works to plow through. For someone ready to go deeper, what's...

Singer-songwriter Dan Fogelberg dies - Yahoo! News

I don't think he's going to last. His voice is simply unpleasant compared to Bob Barker's, and he doesn't have the sense of rhythm and pacing, and I don't think it's because he's new to the job, I think he just doesn't have it. Doing a game show is a lot different than standup...... I think...

A weird, wonderful, Japanese noise pop Devo worshiping band. www.polysics.com Recently a clip of a breakdancer that appears at their shows was featured in the Member's Lounge. That was a video showing ONLY her performance, here is the whole clip that includes a male breakdancer that is...

I just found out about this battery hack from another forum. Watch this video: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/824477...ull_be_amazed/ My first instinct when watching this video was to wonder if each of those identically sized batteries was a full 1.2 volts as a standard...

In general I don't like the internet trend of starting new threads just to post youtube video links, but I saw this one just a few minutes ago and I have not laughed so hard in a long, long time. It's basically just a compilation of photos of cats with funny captions that you might see on any...

Not great, but worth a little of your time this weekend. Several good laugh out loud moments, and they do a few things in the movie they couldn't get away with on TV (a rather long sequence of Bart running naked through town with clever concealment of his unmentionables, until they are...

I was at an independent record shop in Baton Rouge the other day, and I ran into this computer program, 77 Million Paintings by Brian Eno, better known to us music lovers as the pioneering ambient music artist. I wasn't aware that he was also a prolific visual artist, and has been experimenting...

I love the sound of my HD280's and I really like their isolation, but I would like to have a more portable isolating solution. I have the ER6i's and I really dislike their sound signature. I listen to rock/pop/metal mostly, and anything but the super premium IEM's are in my price range. I...

I purchased the ImTOO DVD to IPod suite, and it has worked well with some videos (Newsradio television DVD's and Beastie Boys music videos), but for my Futurama DVD's, the audio will drop out from time to time on the IPod. When I converted my Big Lebowski DVD, I found that the video stuttered on...

From the Earache website: To celebrate Earaches 20th Anniversary we are giving you the best Metal compilation in aeons! This excellent collection gathers together all of the metal genres in one box comprising of over 100 tracks from more than 80 bands! This is a limited edition one time only...

I bought some batteries blindly the other day from my local Circuit City. They were in a blue package and were expensive, so I assumed they were lithium batteries. However, when I got them home, the package said they were in fact nickel oxy hydride, a type I haven't heard of before. I got...

These headphones are about as close to an impulse purchase as I have ever made in audio, in that it took me less than a week from getting the idea that I wanted a small, closed, inexpensive headphone for walking around in my neighborhood to actually buying the headphones. I got them from my...

Read the allmusic guide review here. I just got this set off Ebay, and for the past few days I've been reveling in the fantastic energy of the creation of rock 'n roll as we know it today. The collection is chronological and contains every master take of all the songs Elvis cut in the 50's...

I bought this ticket before I agreed to work OT this week. I'm more interested in being well rested for work than seeing this show (as I got it more out of curiosity than anything). If you live in the Houston area, the show is Thursday 6-22 at 9 PM at Warehouse Live. One single ticket, GA show...
