Below are four orientations of a stamp my mother used to use. I'm not sure of the orientation and what it is/says (though I think I know I don't want to influence replies).   Any help is greatly appreciated!          

Got a friend who is thinking of dropping 5 bills on a dual band repeater but he doesn't know much about them so I thought I would ask here. There are two main questions: 1) do they work, and 2) any specific model recommendations? Any other info would be greatly appreciated!

11-16-09 EDIT I started this thread back in October when I made a trip down to the AES Convention and got a chance to spend some time with Shure's new DJ model. I received my pair today and thought I would turn this into an impressions thread. My original posting is below. You can jump to...

I'm considering switching to DirectTV from Time Warner Cable but my main concern is reception during bad weather. Myth or does it happen?

I have a 19" Samsung LCD monitor that, when working, displays a really nice picture. The problem with it is that it can't seem to hold onto the signal from my computer. If I turn it off then back on, I see the display for about 2 seconds then it goes blank. It is the same symptom for both the...

Figure I would open the thread live from the meet. I was able to jump on the hotel's wifi with my Nokia N810. People are still setting up and I'm already seeing a sick amount of mouth-watering kit! More later.

I just learned that Zune does support gapless playback. This is a must for me so I am encouraged since I've read about the SQ of the headphone out is pretty good. I'm now considering getting myself a 16gb flash based Zune but I want to hear about some real world experiences. How well does the...

First off - a huge thank you to Jason for following through on his idea. If you want specifics in regards to the loan program, please visit the sticky. I was quite surprised when the GS-1000s were offered as the inaugural headphone for this program. I have listened to Grado's flagship a few...

I can't say enough about these ear plugs. I went to a show this past Monday night whose featured act was Venetian Snares. For those of you who don't know the beatcore genre it is dense electronic music that consists of major league hard hitting hyper kinetic beats along with noise and/or sampled...

Perhaps this has been shared before. I tend to be a bit behind on these kinds of things but it is a very cool watch and listen nonetheless: Internet Archive: Details: Pipe Dream

Here's the thing: I rock in the races but when it comes to drifting - I suck big hair gorilla you-know-whats! I get a fair amount of "Nice drift" "Good drift" and on rare occasion "Great drift" but not through any skill. It is controlling the drift where I just can't get the hang of. Sometimes...

I was perusing headphones on eBay and saw a picture of a pair of Stanton DJ Pro 2000S. I noticed that the chassis is the exact same as Ultrasone's HFI-780 except for a switch on the outside of the left ear chamber. Not that this is anything all that surprising since the Ultrasone's are made in...

I've been aching for a high capacity flash based player. They are slowly making their way to the public but I decided to take things into my own hands. Since I have a 5.5gen 30gb iMod, getting the highest capacity Compact Flash card - 32gb - made sense. I bought an adapter and my CF came today...

I have a customer who has been waiting 22 days for their package from me. I'm in New York and he is in Ireland. I sent the items in a USPS Priority Mail International Flat Rate envelope on Jan. 31st. USPS' Track and Confirm is totally useless. I talked to USPS today and they said that Priority...

I read an article about Firefox 3 Beta 3 and how they really focused on plugging up the notorious memory leaks it has been suffering. So I figured, what the heck, and installed it. When I shut down 2, I was at 202mb. Granted, I haven't been running on 3 long but currently I've been hovering...

I've been meaning to get into amp building and looks like I may start with troubleshooting an existing one. I bought a Little Dot MicroTube amp from a fellow Head-Fi'er and it went belly up. I plugged everything in, turned it on and heard a subtle "pop" and smoke immediately started to pour out...

I'm still in shock. What Giant fan thought at, say, week 11 that we even had any shot to get this far and go to the Superbowl? Un... real!!!!

I know there was a posting somewhat recently of someone having a bit of a problem with the USB feed for their MiniDAC but reading through it didn't help. What is happening is that the MiniDAC will lose the USB signal for absolutely no apparent reason. For instance, this just happened: I had...

Another Head-Fi’er had posted asking about the M-Audio Q40s. No one had a pair at that time. I had not heard of these headphones till then but was very intrigued since I have a pair of BX-8 monitors that I love. I started to think – wouldn’t it be cool if M-Audio can capture the sound of the...

I've always liked the idea of having a nice cable wrap for my IEMs/canalphones but have issues with the typical solutions. My issue is mainly due to the flat design. I feel it creates too sharp of a bend in the wire when initially wrapped around. I kept thinking that a round one would be...

You think Head-Fi stuff is expensive? Try owning a horse! This is Riley. She's a Saddlebred who is replacing my wife's previous horse. She comes from pretty major bloodlines and we got her for a bargain. We figure in several years we'll be able to sell her for quite a profit. A chunk of...

Looks nice at least. No inside shots. Anyone know anything about these? Did a search and only hit upon some people who have bought Yaqin tube buffers - that's it.

I say simple because this will be used for drafting simple projects like headphone stands and such and I don't want to have to take a week learning how to use the darn thing. I can draw my ideas in perspective on paper but I would like to put my ideas into a CAD or CAD-like software so I can do...

Has anyone heard of the franchise M.A.R.S. International or better yet, know anyone who has become an Operator of the franchise? Basically, they give you the training and all the equipment you need to be able to recondition cars for resale. Typical customers would be new and used car...

I was going to post this in another thread but realized it had gotten way off topic from the OP's initial question (like THAT rarely happens! ). So I decided to start my own thread. One of the poster's from that thread stated: "I got Vinnie to confirm that the 80gb classic drive should fit...
