Ordered the new Sony XBA-H1 IEMs yesterday, delivered earlier today. Great service by my local Sony Centre here in the UK, there was free next day delivery to store and phone call to let me when they were ready for collection. Staff were clueless (as usual), they had to google it first before...

I bought my Sony XBA-3 last September and it was faulty from the beginning. After 2-3 hours of continuous play, the right side would fade out and eventually go silent. I put up with this because my commute is ~2 hours and there are no IEMs allowed in the office, maybe once a month I had so much...

I'm looking to buy the sony hybrids with foam that came with my xba's. Has anyone found them for sale anywhere, preferably in EU?     Thanks EK

Saw Inception yesterday. So good, I'm planning to see it again later this week at a better cinema (my local is beyond awful). I can't remember the last time I felt so satisfied as the credits roll. I don't want to talk too much about the plot, but if you love sci-fi and/or DiCaprio, you have to...

Was just reading the significant purchase thread and someone mentioned watching Gattaca in high school. I also watched Gattaca in a Biology lesson. I have a feeling that a significant number of young people today have seen Gattaca during full time education. Vote above.       EK

I bought their latest album soon after release and it's definitely one of my most played since then.   Very impressive overall, really benefits from neutral cans.   Listening to it now, it's very hard to concentrate on writing this post, can't think of what to say.   If you like...

Shouldn't there be at least three? Have they been moved somewhere?    

And I see the edges are a little harder and defined! They were far too soft before.   Doesn't it just feel more inviting? So much easier on the eyes.     EK

Have you tried searching for "a" recently? Then immediately searching something else?   Searching any number of characters, as many times as you want, is a definite upgrade.     Some of the new stuff is great, I like the wiki, reviews, head gear, home page, random stuff on the side...

I'm already hammered, can't find the nachos...

Having exhausted every dynamic ever made, I'm saving up for stax. Lets pretend I wasn't, what should I buy with the money I've saved up already?   Exclusions: Mobile phone Video games Anything Head-Fi related Crack DVDs Music CDs Digital Camera TV Clothes (I already have a...

I think I crashed this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/490685/do-you-want-the-old-forum-again   I found out that adding a tag also adds an Amazon link box. Add 2 tags, get 2 amazon links. Add many hundreds of tags *cough*...   Yeah, well someone should do something about...

Not Head-Fi, obviously, but a forum I logged into today: That's UK date format, so 3 years and 3 days. Can anyone beat that? Extra points if it's Head-Fi. EK

Just discovered this show in iTunes, looks like a winner. Tyler Labine's perfect in his role as fake dad. Anyone else a fan? EK

Was I the only one who had to listen to times-tables tapes in the car on the way to school? I'm beginning to think so... Had to buy a specific medical item last week, non-urgent, although it turns out no chemist within 50 miles stocked what I needed. So I put an order in with a local but...

****ing ***hole eBay sellers, that's why! I keep forgetting that just because a product is new and sealed in a box, doesn't mean the seller still can't **** with it in some way. Just opening the UPS bag filled the whole bleeding room with that stench! The headphones sound just as they should...

Tesco's Value Jaffa Cakes 24-pack was 38p, now 54p! That's a 42% increase. The sheer scale of my consumption of jaffa cakes meant I hesitated today at the checkout, took a step back, checked my wallet, made sure I had enough to cover all 10,000 boxes. What the ****? EK

Is there a film that details the events before, during, then after an apocalypse? I can only find films pre apocalypse or post apocalypse. I'm aware of the many zombie movies that mostly fit the criteria, but I'm looking for something non-zombie related. Cheers EK

Yay! I'll be in New York City 22nd-29th Dec! Second time in the US (spent a week in DC last year, all business though ), first time in new york, new york... So what should I do? Where should I go? What should I eat? Should I get a weeks bus pass to get around or will the subway take me...

I've just been reading about the new Windows 7, and I'm not seeing any new stuff I actually want. Faster search? It takes about 5 seconds to find all 6 instances of the word "firestarter" for me. New start menu and taskbar? This sounds good, but do I really want to change my operating system for...

I think this is my handler: New York, NY - Wendy Friedman | Sotheby's International Realty® This is the content of the first email: "Jimmy Please make it a habit to empty the trash each time you come in the office. The recycle cans do not need to be emptied as often but at least check...

<-----------------------------This much!-----------------------------> Just fan-screwing-tastic! The second lost package in the last 3 months. Is there something I'm not getting? Is keeping track of solid items in an enclosed space secretly the hardest job on the planet? Does Panorama...

It's awful. Navigating each page takes 2-3 minutes to load and they never load 100 percent the first time, so 5 minutes average per page. Can't use my own DNS since my ISP craps bricks when I change anything from default. I cleared my cache and "repaired" my connection, no joy. I'd email apple...

Finally, an amp without that generic warm tube-like sound that seems to permeate all amps recently. This is a very bright, aggressive solid state head-amp (just what I was looking for), and only £99! Be careful though, the volume knob turns rather easily and there is much power behind it, twice...
