Any Oberlin student's out there?
I am looking for a favor, my fellow Head-Fi college students. A somewhat big favor, and maybe a bit odd, but there is a pair of Koss KC-35 headphones and any 10 CD's from my collection (mostly jazz and classical, a little hip hop and random rock) as a thank you for anyone if they're willing to...- grancasa

Music wireless across computer network
What I'd like to be able to do is walk around my house with my META42, headphones, and some small device, and listen to music off of my computer. How would I do this? One thought was to stream my MP3's over Shoutcast to a website, then use a PDA to access to website via 802.11b and listen...- grancasa

At my house we have a pretty complicated home theater system, and sometimes my parents forget to use the macro to turn everything off. This leaves the TV on, but the reciever/TIVO/DVD is all turned off. And I always know when I come home that the TV is on. I can hear a very high pitched sound...- grancasa

How much money has Head-Fi cause you to spend?
What I'm wondering is how much money you've spent because of Head-Fi. This means that if this message board wasn't here, in all probablity you would not have spent the money. For me, the total is around $1,200. If it wasn't for Head-Fi, I'd probably be listening to my Beyer DT231 headphones...- grancasa

Buying a used car
So I need a car, and I figured I check and see if any Head-Fi'er in the Tri-State area was selling one. My budget is around $2500. Also, if you could reccomend some good used car web sites, that'd be great as well. I've been checking craigslist and autotrader, but that's it.- grancasa
