Showed up in todays mail out of the blue. A glossy full-color brochure about the Qualia 010, a letter about them and an Elton John CD sampler. Maybe they're checking us out...

I have a copy of Photoshop LE. Basicly, I'm clueless. I want to print multiple pictures on one page. I figure it has something to do with layers. I've been able to save an image to a layer but then I don't know how to manipulate it, i.e. move it around and position it on the backround. I'd...

I saw someone mention a NeoGeo in another thread and started thinging about all the console systems I've had through the years. It seems like I never had THE "In" system at any given time (for instance, I never had an Atari) but I had a blast with the systems I did have. I started in maybe...

I've read that the 901 was designed with low impedence cans in mind so I guess it would like my Grados and my CD-3000 (I don't presently own an amp that pairs well with the Sony). My real question though is how well it would match with an HD-600 and HD-650? It may replace a Cosmic Reference...

OK, my wife has suffered through years of audio purchases without complaint (mostly) so the least I can do is to help her get some unbiased opinions. The kitten below is part of her Christmas presents. She won't be ready to take home for another couple of weeks but my wife went to pick her...

In Buffalo, of course, we have wings (we don't call them "Buffalo" wings here, just wings). Invented here, still the best, 'nuff said. We also have "Beff on Weck". It a hot roast beef sandwich on a Kemelweck roll. A Kemelweck is a crusty German hard roll baked with kosher salt and caraway seeds...

I've seen the outputs on Stax amps labeled "Normal" and "Pro Only". What's the difference?

Occasionally, during a buying frenzy, I'll get my new music home and discover that I've inadvertently picked up what I thought were SACDs but aren't. I normally return them on my next visit to which ever store but I find that I have a couple that I've lost the receipts for. FREE to a good home...

I haven't received an instant E-mail notification of thread responses in weeks. I checked and I still have the option turned on and my E-mail address is correct. Has anyone else had this problem?

Jude, When will the secure credit card site be up for contributions? I'll bet there are a lot of us just waiting for it.

Is anyone interested in a Buffalo, NY meet or mini-meet? I'd be willing to host.

Blood Sweat & Tears or Chicago? I just got done listening to a batch of music by these two all-time great Brass/Rock bands and throughly enjoyed myself for a couple or 3 hours. Who's your favorite? The vocal magic of David Clayton-Thomas and the fact that Mama Gets High is one of my favorite...

Check out the March issue of Esquire magazine. On page 74, tucked in between all the Gucci and Louis Vuitton ads, is a small write-up with a picture of the RS-1s. Grado has gone uptown!

My company maintains an R&D facility in Long Island City. A couple of months ago our chief designer was in for our monthly Management Meeting. During the meeting he leans over to me and says "I hear you're the resident headphone expert". I answered, "More so than anyone else you're likely to run...

Is anyone besides me having trouble using this function? More and more often when I use this search, I get the following message - "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms." I'll get this even when it's been hours since I last visited Head-Fi and I know from experience there sould...

Like the title says, has anybody ever figured out where it (they) wound up?

I just got Michael McDonald's latest CD, Motown. This album is great! He covers a lot of the great classics and his voice really lends itself to this genre. If you like McDonald or Motown, you'll love this CD. If you like both, then man, it's just gravy!

...and I'm really loving it with my RS-1s! I started out with Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing (smooth, really smooth) and then went to the remastered version of Roxy Music's Avalon. The detail was incredible. Next, a little Changes from David Bowie and then on to some Forty Licks. I've always...

I've read a lot of nice things about the Phillips 963SA on this forum. Is this as good as it gets for dedicated Redbook performance in the $400-$500 range or shoud I be looking at other players also? I plan to use it as the source in a headphone-only system. I'll be using it with a Cosmic...

I'm intrigued... Does anyone have any first-hand experience with and opinions about Mapleshade's flat ICs?

So what did you get? I'll start: Rolling Stones - Forty Licks Carol King - Tapestry (the remaster) Jazz Greatest Hits (3 disc set including Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck & Thelonious Monk) Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (the newer Telarc DSD version) Ginger Baker - Falling Off The Roof Sarah...

Sony has a commercial on TV that depicts a Western businessman who apparently is retiring and buying his way onto a Russian space launch. Throughout the entire commercial, a female vocalists sings CSN&Y's "Carry On". Does anyone know who she is?

Much has been written extolling the virtues of the legendary Blockhead / HD-600 combination. We all know that the RS-1 is "the other" headphone offered with the balanced cable for the Blockhead but I've never seen a word written about them. So my question is has anyone ever heard this pair and...

Does anyone else feel that the Headroom crossfeed filter, while absolutely improving imaging and soundstage, does so at the expense of some of the detail? I'm basing my observation on the Cosmic and making an assumption that it holds true throughout the line.
