Out of the six free HD-DVDs I listed, I got two that were my choices, and one of them they sent two copies! Why on Earth would they send two copies of the same movie? I know they're just sending what's available, but man what a letdown. GAD

Got a PS3 For Christmas (mostly for the BlueRay), and it came with this video game. I put it in just to see what it looked like, and now two days later I'm still hooked. Anyone else play this? I haven't had this much fun with a video game in years! GAD

I've had an HD-DVD player for about a month, and now for Christmas we're getting ourselves a PS-3, so I'll have Blue Ray too. Bring it on format wars! GAD

My Father in law has requested an iPod speaker dock for the holidays. Are any of them worth a damn? GAD

Bwaaahahahaha.... So when do I get the keys to the private Head-fi jet? GAD

Feel free to ignore me. I'm cranky. I've listed quite a few things here and in other places. I've had bad experiences shipping oversees and to other countries, so I just don't do it anymore. I put in my ads, CONUS ONLY. If I get 20 inquiries, 18 of then are "will you ship to my...

I love to build things, and I love to solder. Don't know why. I'd love to build my own amp - especially like a Millet Hybrid Max, but I'm not really interested in tracking down all the parts and what-not. Are there any high-end kits out there that come with all the parts already...

With head-fi down for as long as it was, I had to occupy myself with other hobbies and interests. I find that it's hard to get back into the gear-lust, conversations and what-not here on head-fi. Anyone else seem to be losing interest, or is it just that my attention span is about two weeks...

Had a Solaris (hardware really, so I guess Sun) catastrophe, so I'm rebuilding a server using Linux. I was really into RedHat back in the day, but for a couple of reasons moved to Solaris (when v8 was king). It's been a while, so decided to see what was new and exciting. Downloaded Ubuntu...

When I listen to well recorded CDs from the time before excessive volume, I find that the WA6 (no mods) just doesn't push my HD-650s enough, even on high gain. While I can adjust my DAC, I've never had this problem with my other amps. Anyone else find this? Would different tubes help or is...

I love iPods. I'll admit it. I have; 3rd 30G gen iPod, 2nd gen 8G Nano, 5.5 gen 80G iPod and now the 16G iTouch. These are my initial impressions, and my further impressions may change with use. The UI is simply fantastic. I'm a huge believer in good UI, and I rarely find one that I...

My well pump was short cycling (off/on/off/on/off/on/etc.), which is really bad for the pump. The culprit? A clogged pressure switch. All this junk is in a little crawlspace under the stairs in my house, so I spent a couple hours cramped under there replacing the switch (PITA!) and the gauge...

I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted an iTouch since before they even announced the iPhone. So I finally bought one. 16G. Can't wait! I'm realizing that though having my 80G let's me carry almost all my music, I listen to maybe 5% of it regularly and another 5% far less often. Here's hoping...

I love your avatar. That is all. GAD

Old nerds speak up! (This means you Ingwe!). How about this gem! I had one of these when I was a kid: GAD

Wrong forum - sorry

Tell me your funny IT stories. Doesn't matter what it is, so long as it doesn't get you banned or the thread locked. I'll start. I once worked with a guy that, back in the Internet's infancy, ordered some **** DVDs online. The only problem was that he left the printed receipt in the...

I'm thinking of getting either an iTouch or the 3G Nano. I like them each for different reasons. I went to my local Apple store and they didn't have any iTouch, but they did have iPhones. I don't think the iTouch would be a good usable portable DAC with the Hornet since the iTouch is so much...

I purposely wrote "power tool" and not just "tool" to hopefully side-step sophomoric replies. I know - I failed. I just used the power-washer on my deck (long story), and I have to say it's the best tool I've ever purchased. The chainsaw might be more fun, but the power washer gets used more...

I need to raise some cash and I've got a pile of stuff to sell. Anyone know of an alternative to Ebay? I'm *really* tired of their nonsense and fees... GAD

Our beloved Newfoundland Daisy is very sick. Chances are we'll be taking her to the vet this weekend for her final visit. I went through this a year and a half ago with Cozy, our other Newf. We've had them both since before we had kids. Daisy is twelve and a half, which is very old for a...

Look at me - I'm special. I posted 1000 times! GAD

I've owned mine for about a year and I don't think they need to be changed yet. The tool looks like they ruin old ones, so I don't want to try. How often do you find that the filters need to be changed? Thanks, GAD

There are a lot of computer people here. Anyone ever use an OS called PICK? I'm amazed how many people I meet in the field who have. Here's the Wikipedia entry for the curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_operating_system Oh, and it was invented by a guy named "Dick Pick"...

Following the advice of people here, I took an AD8620 Opamp I had for my Pimeta and put it into my XM4. What a difference! I highly recommend this mod for anyone with an XM4. It's a totally new amp. Thanks Head-fi! I'm sorry about my wallet too. GAD
