Sad news from Zuni Pueblo that Jeff Tsalabutie, one of the most talented artists of the carvers there, died this week following a road accident. Jeff had a wonderfully lively and beautifully graceful carving style that was appreciated the world over. Along with Gibbs Othole, Dee Edaakie and...

So my lovely wife washes my Shuffle (40deg 1200 spin). Comes to me this afternoon holding this drenched little orange box up, saying 'what's this? Found it in the machine'... Dammit, how was I to know she'd wash those jeans? They weren't even in the laundry basket. Sigh. Currently air-drying...

I know lots of threads probably on this self-same topic, but little time to search. Going to Barcelona -two choices of gear: iRiver H160 + RSA Hornet Nano 3G + Xin Supermini IV In carry-on. Any advice welcome on which will be likely to be less concerning to airport security, if...

I recently bought a pr of DT660, black-cup edition (2007?) and am very impressed. Nice & clear, perhaps a bit bright sometimes, but a good line in non-overpowering bass. And a soundstage that is wonderful out of a closed phone. So BeyerHeads, if, I say if, I was to think of wallet-harming...

I start playing a CD, look at the cover for a particular track and find it at number 11 or so...so I think "ah, I need to flip to Side 2...." Losing it. Definitely losing it.....

Woohoo....tomorrow night BBC 1 - Davros looks to be back! This is definitely one for taping, given how good the new series is so far. I'll even get my radio-controlled Dalek to watch it. Give him ideas.

Just a heads up for UK HFers. July Hi Fi News has a 6 page spread on IEMs. Models reviewed & SQ ratings by reviewer: Audio Technica ATH -CK9 75% Etymotic ER-4S 70% Denon AH-C751 70% Sennheiser CX95 85% UE Super Fi 5 Pro 90% The CX95 were 'highly commended' - the SF5P got...

Just won a Linn Majik-1 integrated amp on Ebay . Don't know how it'll sound vs my old Naim 32/SNAPS/250, but beggars can't be choosers...lol. Next step is to unbox my beloved LP12/Ittok (long in storage), have it serviced, and finally get it all together with my Kans. Back to vinyl. At...

Not sure this is the right forum (maybe DSC?) but here goes: Because I have a brain the size of a fairly small housefly after a night on the sugar, I just cannot figure out the advantage of using Level 0 for encoding in FLAC rather than, say, Level 8....This arises from a discussion w/ a...

Anyone a fan of the old-tyme scrolling shooters? Thinking particularly of games like the mighty Zero Wing, Thunderforce series, GAIARES, Gynoug etc... I really need to resurrect my Megadrive to play these again, esp. Zero Wing, and the tactical masterpeice Herzog Zwei

Could some kind soul or Ety nut (terms not mutually exclusive!) direct me to the difference, if any, between ER4 'Classic' red & blue and the black edition? I tried searching but only found that it seemed to change sometime in 07... Thx!

Could someone just give me a quick thumbnail on the differences between aoTuV SSE/SSE2/SSE3, & which you'd use when.... Sorry, know I should use search/google it but in a rush! Thanks!

Hi all Just about to pull the trigger (ish) on a Clip. I've read reviews, watched the Youtube stuff, but have one last question... Alongside more day to day use, I'll be taking it mountainbiking, hiking & general offroad jollies, so what's the build-quality like? Not having seen one on the...

Dumb question I know, but I've just started using Shure olives. Do you compress before insertion or just put them in whole? I'd been scrunching them up, but just occurred to me you don't necessarily have to. When I tried it w/out, the seal did not seem affected in any way... So, how do you...

Any Head Fi support for the Orange & Blue? I've been a long time UK fan ever since seeing No 7 pass waaay downfield back in his second season. Before Elway, all I'd seen were running plays & generally preferred baseball (go Tigers!). And then I was awed by the Three Amigos... Loved the...

Is it against forum rules to post a WTB in the FS forum for another member who (obviously) doesn't have the minimum post-count? Just trying to help out a fellow HFer who needs some new phones.... I don't want to go ahead without checking if it's Head Fi legal Thanks.

Got a used pair of ER6 in good overall condition, but the silicone casings that cover each driver unit are getting a bit holey (several nicks, one larger hole). Anyone know if a, it's possible to get replacement covers from Etymotic -they are removeable so hopefully, replaceable... b...

Having purchased a Supermini 3 from a fellow Head-Fier, could some one tell me how I stand for the refit that that brings it up to near IV standard? (I'm late to the party I know!) And what are the benefits SQ-wise? I'm guessing as I'm not the original owner there'll be a cost, but not...

I'm really liking the sound of my CK7s (detailed, clear top, good bass but not overpowering - in contrast, I find my JBL Ref 220s perhaps a bit too bassy). I've read the CK7s are similar in sound sig to Ety ER6i's, which I've never heard. Would the 6i's be a step up or a step across in terms of...

Just picked this up - fabulously entertaining album with some superb collaborative remixes by Porcupine Tree (Death of Samantha, a wonderfully restrained, moving song), Flaming Lips (freak-outy Cambridge 1969), DJ Spooky , Apples in Stereo among many others. Highly recommended: there's some...

Sorry, pantyhose! Hi All, I read this somewhere & would appreciate a link (cos what the heck would I put in 'search'!), or some quick pros/cons of substituting/removing the foam twixt ear/driver. Thanks! steviebee (already rummaging through his wife's underwear drawer! )

Hi All Anyone know if this track is available on CD anywhere? I have Rainbow Bridge (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Reprise) on vinyl, but have never seen a CD copy. There is a Rainbow Bridge CD/DVD knocking about but I think it's a live recording & not the original album? Seeing as...
