    DT880 suddenly I hear amazing bass

    I don't know what happened, I'm using the same setup as I have been since I got the DT 880 (2003 version). I got home from work and was sitting in silence for about an hour reading head-fi (it's kinda a noisy work environment - a restaurant - and I needed some ear rest time). My ears were...

    Quote: The bright-yellow facade and newly painted red trellises around the building leave no doubt what is happening at the corner of 16th Street and Broadway in Land Park. Tower is back. http://www.sacbee.com/101/v-print/story/213184.html

    Polk Audio R50

    I found a good deal on these speakers (well, is $69.99 each a good deal?) and I would like to know if anybody has these speakers or has had them in the past. I might be interested in getting some since my current speakers are no-name brand. thanks

    Technics SL-220 turntable, info please

    I just got a Technics SL-220 turntable from my dad's friend. It looks to be in good shape even though he has had it for many years. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a much better table than my Garrard that I have now, but can someone give me some info about this table? This will be my first...

    ebay advice needed

    One month ago (March 2007), I sold my nVidia 7800GTX on ebay. The guy received the card and about a week later emailed me claiming that the tech service he took it to to have installed in his computer was claiming the card was dead. The ebay buyer then asked me for a refund, which I offered if...

    Need a female 1/4" jack

    I just ordered some RCA connectors from Parts Express and totally just forgot to get a female 1/4" in-line jack. Thing is, they say you can't cancel or change your order, and I don't want to spend $5+ more on the shipping for just the jack. That's almost as much as the jack itself. So...

    Any of these better than RS Soldering Iron?

    http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage....=365&sm=1&so=1 I'm looking at specifically the ones under $20 (click on "Price Ascending" for easier view). I'm buying some stuff from the site already so thought I might get a new iron. Any thoughts?

    HOLY CRAP, just got Chuck Mangione - "Children of Sanchez" for $1 at Half Price Books... OH MAN this album is awesome! It's a 2 LP set (4 sides), and it ranges from Maynard Ferguson "Conquistador"-esque instrumental pieces all the way to "lullaby"-esque slow, quiet, dreamy vocal songs. Most of...

    Vinyl is distorting.. inner groove distortion

    I have a Garrard 1211 semi-automatic turntable (a crappy turntable riding on the tails of what used to be a good brand), and a Grado Black p-mount cartridge. I'm using the phono stage built into my Sansui G-5500 stereo receiver, and listening through speakers or with the tape out to my HeadFive...

    Garrard 1211 semi-automatic turntable, Statically balanced straight-line tonearm, MM plug in cartridge T4P. So far I think it sounds good, but I know that there are some problems with it. The platter goes up and down a little as it's rotating. What's that called? Also the tonearm is kind of...

    My first Vinyl eargasm!

    Just bought a few LPs yesterday and today, and my dad's friend gave me his turntable to use. The eargasm was achieved by playing the album Permanent Waves by Rush. As soon as "The Spirit Of Radio" started I was just smiling bigtime . And then when Geddy started singing I was like, "Wow I think...

    DT770 2005 not tight-fitting

    Ever since I've had my new DT770 2005 version, the headband hasn't been very tight. I've since tried my friends' older DT770s and they are WAY tighter and squeeze my head so much tighter. I think that the loose fitting headband is affecting the bass performance because when I push the cups...

    I just fell in love with Dream Theater.

    Listened to their album Images and Words for the first time and WOW. It was so good I love it. Especially "Metropolis - Part 1 - The Miracle and the Sleeper". It made me look in foobar with a "What is this !?" expression on my face. On amazon there is an import version, I think from Japan. Is...
