Talked to the hotel here, and they have more than enough space for us. $250, Downtown Tempe on Mill Ave. Included all the tables and chairs we need.

Balderon, I'm glad you found so many people in the area, I hope they can make it out. I called a couple offices around ASU to see if there were any large conference areas that could be reserved, but couldn't get anything more than something in the library (~8 people). I'll call some other hotels...

I could host a meet, but I probably would not have enough space for more than five or six people. I have an apartment in Tempe. If we get enough people I don't mind chipping in on the hotel banquet room. Another good place to check would be local libraries, sometimes they have large conference...

Good work, those are nice looking cabinets. Are they ported in the back?

Clem, I'm barely out of warranty. Very frustrating. It is the very end of the cable, specifically where the cable is connected to the jack. I was thinking the same thing, someone could just cut off the end and have a new jack or the same one soldered on again.

I'm definitely interested, I'm in Tempe/ASU, I'll even host if it is small enough.

Recently one side of my Ultimate Ears IEM's went out, and looking through the UE support page I found that it was caused by a cable issue, which I confirmed. When I push around on the end of the cable by the jack, I can get both to work for a few seconds.   Basically, I don't want to buy a...

I would take it. Music is a great way to relax, and relieve some stress (at least for me). I just got through with living in a HUGE dorm, and now I'm moving into an apartment for my sophomore year. I never had any problems with people stealing things, heard a couple of cases of laptops being...

It's definitely easy. Like Ron, I got into vinyl a year or so ago and I have no problems finding good records. It's all about having good record stores locally. If not, you can always pick some up at a place like music direct. I say go for it!

I've had these for a little over a year, and I loved them until last week one side started getting staticy, and then eventually stopped playing altogether. Is it possible to have blown these? I don't listen very loud. What should I do?

Do you have any suggestions? By "classic" do you mean this is something improved upon significantly in the 650? Thanks

Thanks for the help guys, I'll be looking into everything that was suggested

sochee, how do you like you Epos speakers? Did you compare them to anything else before you bought them? Thanks

Can anybody clarify this? I was thinking that bookshelves may be more cost effective, but then I would have to put them on stands and purchase a sub, and this would be taking up the same amount of room as a good size floorstander would. I don't know anything about room acoustics.

I'm sorry to hear you had to downsize your setup, those are some gorgeous speakers, I just looked up where you had posted them. Thank you for your offer, but I am not quite ready to purchase yet. If I do end up deciding on the Quads and you still have them around, I'll definitely shoot you a PM...

I have been extremely happy with my headphone setup, but I am ready to move on to speakers. I want to spend less than $1200 on floorstanding speakers and an integrated amplifier together. The problem is, since I don't have either, it is hard to audition something and still take into account...

I forgot to add that I am only using my digital setup, because I am in school. Thanks

I recently bought a PS Audio GCHA and have been extremely happy with it except for one thing: the bass. It is very "polite" and doesn't have the slam I like to have with some rock music. I feel like everything else is perfect on this amp, so I want to keep it. What can I do that will improve...

Thom Yorke: No more Radiohead albums Saw this article just now, it is really sad news. Radiohead has changed the way I viewed music. Now they will only release singles and EPs. What do you guys think?

dfkt, I think you are referring to the VPI (16.5???) record cleaning machine. I'm curious how you like it JMT, I have been looking at one myself.

The DL160 should work fine for that Creek. However, I would check out this review, these are a step above the Creek for not a whole lot of cash.

Just in the magazine, it's in the Aug 09 issue, under Manufacturer Comments.

Ya, that was pretty pathetic. I hear Sam and Roy have a past.

As a second thought, snag the Starving Student headphone amp in the FS forum.
