    Weird things happening @ head-fi....

    We're just testing new setups and in order to find the optimal settings, it will take some trial and error. Repetition is the mother of skill. So if you see a post repeated three times, read it, read it, read it.

    Purpose of high octane gas

    A friend of mine that owns gas stations told me that their distributor only has two types of gasoline in his fuel truck.. the lower octane, and the higher octane, and that the mid-grade is just a mixture of the two -- how scientific the measurement of the ratio/mixture, he wasn't sure.. in fact...

    Why would ya…….

    The only photo that that would be disturbing in that regard, would be me handling/wearing the headphones.. because that would probably be the last record of the phones being in one piece.

    This place is LAGGY

    Thanks for your suggestions. mod_gzip has already been deployed a long while back. MSIE page status does not show the compressed size, but Mozilla does. But if you have access to a Web client that supports HEAD requests, you'll see that any text/PHP content on the www6 is gzip encoded. Zend...

    Photo section has been corrupted -- you can help.

    During a software upgrade, I managed to kill the photo-post database, as well as the backup that I made just minutes previous. So, rather than busting out into self-deprecating humor, how about this.. If you had an album on the photo section, send me TWO (what you think are) UNIQUE file names...

    Investing, where to go?

    It's called PayPal, and my email address is: neil@head-fi.org . But honestly? Go to Sound Money. Don't take one piece of advice.. read, and learn about investment strategy. If this is your first real investment, don't throw it all in some stock that interests you. If it's a huge sum, diversify...

    Ads by Google on Head-Fi?

    What's the significance of your username?

    My real name's Bart, and I thought Neil was more sexy.

    Hey, how cool. Now you can start your own cult! (edit) But seriously, congratulations. Sounds like a wonderful idea and a lot of fun.

    Black Friday Deals

    I tried my hand at Black Friday shopping @ Office Max. A 200GB WD HDD for $49.99 after rebate, you'd be a bonehead not to get it; however, the lines -- you'd be a bonehead, or better yet, a very patient person to stand in them. Even though all cash registers were moving at full clip, the line...

    Happy birthday Neil!

    Yeah, the logos are hard work, but it's all worth it to entertain you guys. (just kidding, I never touch the logos -- I think it's the house elves that work on those) Well, my HD600s and SR-80s are on loan to my postman, who is turning into a head-fi addict (I think he just lurks here, if at...

    Arrows on headfi sign? i dont get it.

    That's the voting method we use here in local Michigan precincts. The arrow points to who you're voting for,. and you just take a marker and complete the arrow body to specify which candidate you're voting for. No chads, no computer touch screens, just complete the arrow.

    safety, safety, safety first.

    Yeah, dude. Be careful. We almost had to retire your username. Those electrician screwdrivers (with the long mega insulated plastic) is the way to go. Safety goggles, too, I'd say. One arc or just a splatter to the eye of anything, and all you'll have to enjoy are your headphones because you...

    the t1000's new car

    Now if we could only have some girl sprawling around on the hood of that car for a 2004 version of that Whitesnake video, it might actually be worth suffering through those insufferable lyrics.

    The greatest hottest chick in music of all time! (pics warning!)

    Beyonce is smokin'. They make fun of me at the office because I'm always singing Beyonce songs, and you know, I have quite a mean butt and hip shake move.. moves one can hardly resist. Never thought Chaka Kahn was so hot when I was a kid, but I always have dug her music. However, I do hold the...

They talk about Mehldau's rendition of "River Man" on his latest CD, a solo effort entitled Live in Tokyo.

    dog lovers! I need your help

    Dude, that would be caninus (canidae) minutus iratus, which from Latin means, Little Angry Dog. Quarter tab of Prozac every other day should do the trick. If you're looking for a dog, don't buy one. Adopt one from a shelter. Or, in your case, adopt two.

    The Official MLB World Series Thread

    I thought Manny's kneecap was gonna pop out. That second error he made in the bottom of the 8th (or 7th) was just horrific.. a slide down on his left, right leg straight out, and his foot locked into the turf and he stumbled (missed the catch, of course). He's the highest paid player in the...
