Sorry I disappeared from my own thread. I was without internet for a couple days and disappeared from the world.   Well I checked ebay and audiogon and all the auctions were either over or gone. I think I'm gonna go with y'all on this one and say it was a fluke for this many to pop up in the...

I have always wanted to eventually pick up a pair of Joe Grado HP1000s. However lately I have seen a surprisingly high number for sale lately in almost perfect condition. In the past three months I have seen about eight to ten sets for sale on ebay (always a little suspicious of stuff on here)...

  Quote:   Spice and Wolf is definitely on my list however every time I start up on it I get maybe seven episodes in and something comes up where I am unable to come back to it for a couple months and start all over again. sigh.   I just started rewatching Chrome Shelled Regios...

I second Raven's suggestion. I used a Musical Fidelity DAC to an M^3 amp and a set of K701s that were incredible. The DAC really did make a big difference to me when gaming. While it did lack some bass it did have great detail and sound stage which made shooters more enjoyable. You should be...

  I am partial to the Dynaudio Contour 1.4. Excellent sound stage with beautiful mids and highs.

Just started Deadman Wonderland. Pretty good so far, only five episodes out. Essentially the main character is convicted for a crime he did not commit and sentenced to death in prison. He is shipped off to Deadman Wonderland, a prison turned theme park (think Disney owned supermax prison). He is...

Anyone else playing Brink? I have seen real mixed reviews. It seems to be an either you love it or hate it game.

  Awesome album 

Just finished watching Canadian Bacon. The film is about a failing president who attempts to boost his popularity by creating a fictional war between the US and Canada. Extremely funny movie even though its a Michael Moore flick. The film stars John Candy, Kevin Pollak, and Alan Alda and...

I am yet another hooked on Portal 2. Borderlands is my fall back whenever I get bored and just wanna kill something.I was really disappointed with Fallout: New Vegas. I think they could have done a lot more with it and just got in a rush.

I just finished Ichiban Ushiro no Daimou, Highschool of the Dead, and Chrome Shelled Regios the other night and am about done with Nurarihyon no Mago. All where pretty good though I was a little disappointed with Highschool of the Dead when it progressed to almost nothing but fanservice with...

I agree with NY don't limit yourself to headsets with mics. Check out the grado SR-60s really good budget headphones. Good for music and gaming then get a little $10 USB mic. The Xonar series soundcards are great or you might try looking for a used Nuforce Icon HD. There are a ton of options out...

Not sure if many of you check woot.com but today's deal is 2 sets of Sennheiser MX400 earbuds for $6.99. Sennheiser has discontinued the MX400 but they are tagged as new. Figured they would be good to throw in a laptop bag or a good set of cheapies. Anyways I'll just leave the link here.  ...

Hey guys sorry it's taken so long but I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for coming out. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed meeting everyone while sampling some great sounds. I look forward to the next meetup.
