Hi guys! My brother's friend is leaving to go to her first year of university in Toronto in September (we live in Vancouver) and she has a Yorkshire Terrier that she's trying to find a home for. My sister, my brother and I would love to have Terry (the Terrier - haha!) live with us, but we have...

Hi guys, I'm working on my strategy of politics essay right now, and I have to admit that I'm a bit stumped regarding the question's request to create a model. Here is the question: Quote: Francis Hincks’ views on the double-majority majority are interesting. On one hand, Hincks, a...

YouTube - An Engineer's Guide to Cats Just thought I'd share this. Very amusing, and makes me wish I had a cat.

Yeah. As the title says, a good female friend of mine (one of my best friends, actually), whom I happen to hold romantic feelings for, recently called me on them. Out of the blue. She didn't come right out and say it, but I get the implied meaning that she knows more than she's letting on...

A few of my local mountains: Whistler-Blackcomb - opened Nov 17th, 100cm base, 22cm new snow in past 48 hours. Grouse Mountain - Opened, but not much snow as of yet. Cypress Bowl - 51cm base, not opened yet. Mt. Seymour - ugh, hate this place, not going to bother. I'm so...

This is the impressions thread for the BC Meet 2007. Post here. My impressions: Those of you who said you'd come AND DIDN'T SUCK. REALLY SUCK. You guys missed out on a lot of good gear - the Dynahi made an appearance, and the Headroom amps were definitely stealing a lot of the...

Hey guys, I'm back on the warpath for a new amp! This time, I'm thinking of going back to solid-state circuitry instead of thermionic valves, and I've pretty much narrowed my choice to two amps - Beta22 (3-channel, possibly with integrated Opus DAC) or Headroom Desktop with Max Module (and...

Hi guys, I was curious about test gear being sent out from the manufacturers and what it is classified as when it crosses customs. This is, for example, for public testing during meets and reviews. Right now, I'm receiving gear from Headroom, and I'm getting dinged by Canada Customs - quite...

Let's get ready for the official 2007 BC Head-Fi Meet! This year, it'll be happening on Nov 4th, 2007, from 12 - 5 pm at Kerrisdale Community Center in sunny (ha!) Vancouver, BC. We have a room that'll fit roughly 25 people and all their gear, so I hope we get that many attending! It would...

Holy mother of God, I completely bypassed by my #1500 without even realizing it had passed! Well, I'm in that fabled club now... where's the keys and that robe at? And the free RS-1? EDIT: I checked, and my 1500 post isn't even anything special... I feel so sad now. I have to make 2000...

So, I'm sitting at home waiting for the eclipse to show, and browsing Head-Fi. I think I made the database error occur by opening 25 tabs regarding the "Chocolate Donuts" made by SWT61 within a 15-second span. This left me out in the cold without Head-Fi for a good hour. And there's...

Hi guys... recently I was invited by a friend to a WFG presentation, and everything seemed legit to me. I really trusted this guy too, and the people I met there were solid, and well-known to my other friends (who were not at the presentation). So, I signed up to become an associate...

As the title says... I'll be in NYC from the 11th to the 14th, and would like to meet some Head-fi'ers from the other coast! If you're free, and would like to meet, post in this thread and we can arrange something! I'll be bringing an iPod Video, RSA Tomahawk, Darth Beyers and possibly...

As the title states, I'm heading out with the family to those three cities in mid-August. What can I do, where should I go, and anything special I need to know? Already going to book tickets for some performances on Broadway in NYC. Any good places to eat, things to see and so on? Not...

Currently, I'm a freshman at UBC who has just finished my first year... in Faculty of Arts and trying to get into the Sauder School of Business (Commerce Faculty). I'm re-taking Math 184 as a summer (6-week) course so I can transfer into Sauder - I have everything else needed, though my...

Hi guys... As it so happens I found out tonight that I will have the house all to myself for the weekend. Being the poor lonely sod that I am, with only my music for company, I'm feeling like it's time for another Vancouver minimeet. This time it's probably going to be a true mini-meet. Keep...

You know it's bad when the Curse has you outside of audio gear... Went to the ski shop today with the intention of getting boots refitted. Came back with a lot more stuff than intended.... This will be my first time on twin-tips... *gulp* I got new skis because I was too heavy...

I saw this promotion on the Shure website when looking at the E500's. Is there anywhere I can get one without getting the E500's from the Shure site?

I'm currently deciding what to get myself for my birthday, and I'm torn between the two. I can get both as new/mint for about the same price - Clix from eBay, iPod from Craigslist or similar. Clix Pros:Better SQ More exclusive - not many people have one. Sweet control method - something to...

There are no trick-or-treaters going around my neighborhood.... T_T I guess it's too cold.

Have any members ever done these two woods on a DT770? If so, I would like to see pictures to help make up my mind of which to choose. I am very close to submitting my order to Larry, but still can't choose between the two woods. Thanks!

Wow. I just went to my first-ever 1000+ people concert, and boy are my ears ringing! Opening band was Mars Volta; they were alright but not one of my personal favorites. When the Peppers opened with Can't Stop... the roof went on fire. Good Lord that was a good concert. More...

I'm having trouble convincing my dad to NOT buy the Bose Quietcomforts, and he doesn't like IEM's, which closes off a whole avenue of options. Please suggest to me some noise-cancelling headphones besides the Senn PXC series so that he doesn't buy this massive waste of money...

I have committed a grevious sin, fellow Mac-users. I dabbled with it. You know, it. Boot Camp. As a confessional penance, I am going to post pictures of my wrongdoings for the whole world to see. Behold - the enormity of my mistake. My reason for falling to temptation was the news of...

Hi guys, I'm a Grade 12 student, which means that I will be graduating come this June. However, before that comes the one monster hurdle besides grades - PROM. Forget pre-grad parties, dances, weekend bashes - this is the mother of all social events; the final chance to prove your...
