    Where are all the old school head-fiers?

    I've been keeping busy with work, and doing my best to have a life out in the real world.

    PSP : Anyone else get their's today?

    Is that an aftermarket case or is Sony going to offer a limited edition PSP?

    Professional gaming.

    If you've ever attended or looked at pictures of CPL or equivalent professional gaming events, you'd see that low quality headphones such as the Sony Street Styles are by far the most popular with competitors. I would wager these players would kick your friend's butt too. The quality of the...

    Take a look at the worst PC game.. EVER!

    And the company that published it is probably turning a decent profit from buyers interested in the novelty of it.

    On-line Self Vs. Real Life Self

    Only difference is online I hold back to avoid hurting feelings and to remain in compliance with the rules, and I try to steer clear of the (futile) political debates. But IRL the gloves come off.

    Man is the border slow as of late!

    It's been bad on both sides of the border since 9/11. They're ultra paranoid about dangerous contraband coming over, and Canada Post opens and inspects the vast majority of parcels. This causes numerous delays not to mention theft. I had a package delivered last month from California that the...

    Laser Mouse!

    I need more warmth (AS otl mkIII)

    It's going to be tough to retube the whole unit for $60; you're going to pay about that for a good 5751 or 12AX7. I would focus on the hunt for a 5751 for now. Demand for the Sylvania has driven prices to outrageous levels, but the Raytheon black plate with the windmill getter is still...

    LCD vs CRT/TFT?

    LCD's are really nice when you're staring at static images all day long. The fixed pixels and lack of flicker greatly reduce eyestrain. They do still fall down when it comes to MTBF, black levels, contrast ratio, colour reproduction, dot pitch, response times, and non-native resolutions, making...

    Guitar shredding: Awesome or wanky?

    Controlled, spontanious, and emotional solos can make or break a song. However it's a fine line. Overcalculation and overstructure can rob it of passion and make it sound insincere and fake. And likewise, the spastic random noodling guys like Kerry King do is totally lame.

    Best way to start listening to a new artist?

    Start with the most accessible album first.

    Maybe it's the music and not the headphones? Just a thought.

    Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.1 Multimedia Speakers : $285!!!

    Whoa, whole lot of misinformation going on here. - The Ultra's aren't bright with their updated crossover network and tweeter design. The Cambridge GigaWorks that recieve high marks for their neutrality are more pronounced and sharper up top that the Ultra's. This phobia that horns are tipped...

    Electric Shaver

    I don't know what to do. The electrics I've tried don't what it takes to power through my facial hair, and the manuals leave my face looking like ground meat. When I'm shaving every other day with a Mach 3 my face and neck are continually scabbed over in the same spots, and the irritation is...
