I purchased some headphones from a seller here, and the sale took place on Sept. 10th. Due to some customs issues, I've only received the phones today.   Now I can no longer post a reply on the archived feedback threads.   Is it allowed to leave feedback using the new system, but...

I don't think that's true. IIRC, it was Lenovo that introduced widescreen ThinkPads, and the T60 (pictured above, I think) was manufactured by them, even though it still had the IBM sticker.   In fact, you can make out the "lenovo" logo on gav007's picture, near the model number.   Quote:

Meh, after a while I guess I'm getting used to the new platform. I still prefer the old forum, but I guess change was inevitable.   If development remains active, and all the issues are sorted out, I guess this could become a better platform in the log run.   I just wish that sidebar...

Quote: I was under the impression nems made the pcb for personal use only, and that is why I wrote that post, I hope I'm not wrong.

Posting from my Nokia E52 using Opera Mobile. It works pretty well actually.

Yes, please bring the old site back!

Actually foobar2000 under wine can work pretty well, you can integrate it as the default player, use global shortcuts, etc. I've used it for a long time but now it seems audio on wine is borked on Fedora 12. Either way, this thread can be a lot of help, it's pretty much a step-by-step guide...

So I stumbled upon these today, didn't find any threads about them so I thought I'd start one. HP-A3 (~400$/~297€) is bus powered, and has 24bit/96kHz USB and optical inputs, along with a head-amp, uses a 32-bit AKM AK4392 DAC. HP-A7 (~828/~602€) has 2x optical, coax(192kHz), USB and...

Great work, looks awesome! How easy is it to get some carbon fiber?

As others have said, never had any problems with receiving packages from USPS on international orders, can be a little slow at times, but I find it pretty reliable.

Yes, but your car also has much higher currents, and doesn't have a sigma22 power supply. If it did, I doubt you'd pick up any noise on the DC lines. As I said, hum might also be caused by grounding issues, which I think would be more probable than AC noise on the DC lines.

Oh man, don't even talk about it. I've just messed up a 10mm thick front panel for a HiFi2000 case because my drill bit snapped and hit the panel... I was looking for a simple front design and now I'll have to find some way to cover my bad work. I really don't want to spend 30€ just to...
