So a friend and I have decided to start filming some movies to be posted online eventually (primarily a sitcom, along with other shorts, all of which will be uploaded to Youtube), and I need some help with video camera choices. To be completely honest, I'm looking to spend as little as...

This is for anyone who knows anything about how much a Guild Starfire V from 1967 would be worth. I've found someone selling one, but they don't know what it's worth, and as such, an offer must be made. I know that there are a couple members on here who are knowledgeable in this field, so I...

Is anybody else playing the new mod Portal: Prelude? Any impressions? edit: just kidding about the trouble I was having, figured out what I was doing wrong. We'll see how the rest of the levels shape up.

So I received what could possibly be the coolest birthday gift ever, and I know there are many fellow guitar players on here, so I thought I'd share this new acquisition with you all. Sorry for the terrible lighting. It's a 2001 Fender MIM Strat, but the pickups/pickguard (which...

I happen to really like the band Pepper, yet there seems to be a lack of fans, or at least in my area. I'm going to see them Friday night, and was trying to find some friends to go with. Only one of my friends knew of them, however he is unable to attend and others I asked realized that they...

Well the Red Knob amp really caught my eye, and there seem to be some mixed, though mostly positive impressions regarding this amp. I found someone selling one locally for $600, and am going to get over there and try it out when I can. Right now I only personally own a Cube30, and need to use my...

A friend pointed this out to me. A band known as Lamont just released their CD entitled "Golden Daze" on pirate bay for free. On top of that, you can download in mp3, ogg, or even flac! Here's a link If you like the style of music, I'm sure you appreciate this.

My Preamp/Amp combo is slowly dying, and I'm in need of a replacement. It's gotta have a Phono stage, a tape-out for my headphone amp, and at least 3 (preferably more) inputs. I'd like to do $300, but it's flexible to a point. The first that caught my eye was this Harman Kardon 3485 It's...

Well, my PC is getting old, and I want to stick my foot in the C2D era. I'm not getting great FPS in most games, and I'd like to change that, along with faster computing in general I'm looking at getting this Core 2 Duo Processor, Along with this motherboard And this case The reason...

Well, my HK825 preamp decided to stop working well (started with one channel going out, now it's just no sound) with phono inputs. I'm looking for options in the $150 range. So far I've found a good looking local Carver C-1 for around there. I'm pretty much asking for any suggestions or...

Well I've somewhat decided that I'm going to purchase a dedicated CD Player source for my desk relatively soon. Playing music off of my PC isn't always very practical. I'd like it to be inexpensive (I mean really inexpensive), but still sound nice. The more supported formats it has, the...

Well, I have some quick questions on what I should do in my circumstance. Right now, I have a Little-Dot II++ and K701's. I find that my listening times have gotten shorter, and that a tube amp may not be my ideal amplifier. Although I enjoy the sound, I find that I avoid using it sometimes...

Buy.com has them in stock for $13.99 at the time of this posting. Here's a link Enjoy!

Well, I'm trying to decide on an acoustic electric guitar for myself. I already have a Gibson SG Special (which I absolutely love), and I'd really like to have a full body acoustic-electric as well. I just have no idea what to look for. Let's say that the price shouldn't go (too far) over...

Alright, for the last 4 years I've been one to go out and get the phone that comes free with the plan, which has worked perfectly fine for me. However, I'm kind of looking into different phones this time around. My 2 years are up on Cingular, and I'm eligible for a new phone. Although this...

I was thinking over the past week, and today decided, what the hell, I want to try playing harmonica. I went out to the shop down the street and bought a Hohner Special 20 in C for $26 or so total. My previous music experience is in guitar and piano/keyboard. I searched for threads on this...

I just received mine today. The player is stunning. Alright, now here's the bad part. I installed the Zen Vision: M explorer. I restart, plug in the zvm, and the blue blinking light comes on, but that's it. I go to turn on the player, and nothing happens... It just does nothing, and keeps...

Hi everyone, In 2 weeks, I'm going on a trip, and I want to have some isolating headphones for the plane. What I really want is something with good isolation, comfort, easy to put in/take out, and good sound quality. Here are my choices: ATH-CK7 used for $20 + my FC7's in a trade. Shure...

Alright, I currently have a Zen Micro 5 GB. I want to replace it with an mp3 player with more space available, preferably 20+gb. I don't really want to spend more than $150 either. So far, I see my choices as: 4G 40gb iPod ($150) iRiver H120 ($120) ??? Honestly, I'm not much of a guy for...

I want to convert my lossless WAV files into something like 192 kbps mp3 files so I can fit them all on my Zen Micro. I'd rather not have to rip all of my CDs for the second time. What's the best software to use? I searched using multiple search terms, but couldn't find any threads. What...

Does anybody know anything about this turntable? I emailed someone on craigslist who is giving it away. It needs a replacement needle. How much would that cost me? Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

I am currently in need of some form of alarm clock. It seems practically impossible to find. However, today I came across this: Philips MCD139 Does anybody know anything about this? It plays practically everything, and I really need the alarm feature. The only thing I would need to buy on...

I'm looking for a cd/radio alarm clock that sounds decent for around $60. I saw a Sharper Image one, which looked alright, but I don't know anything about it or how it sounds. It's actually being given to me as a gift, but I get to choose it out. I can only assume the price range is around $60...

I'm going to buy the ER6i's later tonight. This should be the final touch to my audio setup, other than maybe a portable amp. Well, at least until I'm out of school. Is there anything I should expect with IEM's, or the ER6i's, to be more specific? I've been told that these are...

My alarm clock has a somewhat blown speaker. I checked and found that the speakers are 8 ohm 2 watts. Can I get replacements for that? I really liked it, but the blown speaker makes it sound awful. I'm actually going to check out a different cd alarm clock tomorrow, but who knows if I'll get it...
