Do a forum search . . . the procedure has been outlined in the past . . . someone also had pictures of changing them too.

Very nice evilcthul . . . And though I did not throughly read it, my initial impression from glacing at the review is that tremendous time and effort went into preparation, examination, comparison, and editing.

Quote: So they're so loose they'd fall off if you just wore them straight across the top of the head? No, they still would not fall off. In fact, they have never falled off my head. I wear them over the crown because they feel more secure. If I move the headband a bit more forward...

Quote: Any comments on how well they stay on. I've heard they fit really loose and I have a pretty narrow head. Do they fall off if you look down? They are rather lightweight and they do not clamp/press against the ears as hard as other supraaural headphones I have tried in the past...

Well I watched the clip . . . it is Blur, The Universal . . . track 7 on their The Best of Blur album.

Quote: Walker says it all Not really. There is no mention of the importance of high frequency.

I didn't see Clannad on your list...

Quote: Is there any way to tell what speed the CPU is from the packaging/serial number etc. Yes, download the Intel Freq. ID Utility ... it's at www.intel.com Quote: The difference between those sorts of things is piddling at best. If I recall correctly, the only difference...

Quote: Of course the PC will always dominate in terms of graphics and performance, although it is definitely the high end approach. I predicted that back in late '80s ... and since, the only gaming console I have owned is the original Nintendo.

The 9000ES isn't a bad DVD player .. but unfortunately, I have no idea how well it handles SACD.

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned a vault..

Quote: What is an Audiophile? I don't recall where I saw this, but... An audiophile is one who listens to the equipment, not the music.

Sorry to hear the death of your processor ... but to make things a bit more cheerful, check out THG: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/01q3/010917/index.html The video footage (downloadable on the last page of the article) is hot stuff--literally. There was some debate on his footage last...

I remember reading a long thread about ubid a while back .. do a search and see what they had done .. ubid's customer service, from what I hear, sucks. I guess, though, you could return them of the basis of false advertisment and/or fraud. Oh yeah, if you paid with a credit card, you could talk...

whoa! I also like Nirvana's Unplugged in NY .. but man, that was a long time ago...around 1994 maybe? "The man who sold the world" was a long time favorite of mine. I'll buy the CD one of these days...

Quote: Well, the very best music to audition with is YOUR favorite CDs!...since these are your favorite CDs and all, you should know them extremely well, so any improvements should jump out at you much easier than some audiophile test Cd that you only use once a year... Yep, I totally...

Ha, this thread has *evolved* to a severely off-topic subject.

Sorry to hear your computer woes .. I dislike notebooks, though I'm using one right now, because if it is a hardware problem (which it seems likely), it is very hard to get inside and tinker around to find the problem. Anyway, try reflashing the BIOS if you haven't already done so (provided...

Thanks for recommendations...I'll have to check them out. I also just stumbled over the Enigma FAQ -- very informative website. Anyway, do either of you know who sang the voices in "The Eyes of Truth"?? And what language is the first part of the song in ? ...I know it isn't French.

...and most of the Grado fans live in NA. This is more of an economic issue.

My philosophy is that differences in hearing would be the result of how one's ear is shaped--especially in the interior ear ... so virtually everyone hears differently. Thus, I don't think it has much to do with ethnicity.

Now that I have a decent headphone that will last for a while, I have been concentrating on finding some good music. Well, I am a Matrix fan and one of the songs featured in the trailer was Enigma's "The Eyes of Truth". I must say, it is a pretty cool song.. so is there anything else by them...

I don't think there is an AAC encoder available yet .. it's still relatively new techonolgy that may replace mp3 in the future. As for 320 mp3 ... I think that is an overkill for mp3 ... in fact, you might as well use wav (lossless) compression. However, for archival purposes, I usually rip...

When can we expect the results? ...the results should be interesting but possibly skewed...
