I bought an Asrock Z87 Extreme4 and I just realized today that apparently they tried to add some kind of fancy onboard sound to it that is supposedly better than typical motherboard onboard sound. I saw the "purity sound" logo on the mobo when I put it in, obviously, but apparently it's actually...

The Jersey Boys are at it again. This year's meet won't be at the end of July as usual, but a week later in the beginning of August. Mark your calendars and charge your batteries. Full information is as follows:   Saturday, August 6th from 10:00am to 6:00pm (9:00am set up)     Ramada...

  OK, so, I built a cmoy the day before I left for Wisconsin. Might not have been the brightest idea but it didn't take too long and it was a lot of fun. Here's a picture.   http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/MD1032/Cmoy/IMG_2178.jpg   I made a mistake when buying supplies. I...

Fang and Head-Direct have struck again with a fine piece of equipment here. The RE252 is a direct upgrade from and improvement to the RE0. The soft silicone molded piece that goes around the driver actually has a lot to do with the sound…it brings the driver and the sound it produces into...

Hi, can I have some frequency sweeps? I have a fullsweep and a lowsweep but I need more as I don't think the ones I have now are 20-20. Is there a site where I can get some sweeps? My friend got some refurb Promedia 2.1's after I reccommended them to him (he needed some PC speakers) and he needs...

I've been neglecting to post this! Greetings, everyone. Since I have a bunch of Grados on my hands due to Christmas, I figured I would write a short review comparing the models. Included is: SR60 SR60i SR80 MS1 HF1 HF2 (reference) Now, I did have a pair of SR-80i’s, but I ended...

It's been a long time since I've had one of these, probably since Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Legend of Zelda stands out from all of the other games I played on N64 because it was unique, well-thought out, well-structured, well-engineered, complex, but not terribly difficult. Since then...

Happy Holidays, everyone, How much is enough? I decided a couple months ago that I have more than enough audio equipment. I’m a senior in college and I have more audio equipment than many working adults that I know, in fact, I’m currently running a roughly $1k headphone setup consisting of my...

Newegg.com - SENNHEISER DJs HD202 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Dynamic Hi-Fi Stereo Headphone That's not a bad deal. These 'phones aren't terrible from what I recall (although it's been years since I've even seen a pair), despite their outward appearance.

For this really quick test, the track is "The Real Me" from the remastered Quadrophenia. I have like 15 minutes to do this comparison before I mail this guy's SR-80i's back to him...lol. Preface: the SR-60i's have an overall balanced presentation and are a great entry-level 'phone, period, so...

Personally, I love fall and winter because everything cools down, the plants go dormant (fall allergies ended officially today for me because we got a stiff frost last night), and everything's just generally more pleasant. Unfortunately, I also run into two extremely irritating problems which...

I had the privilege of listening to this MP3 player for a very long time (probably close to two hours) at the recent NJ meet on the condition that I would post something in the meet thread about it. Frankly, though, I think this player is worth discussion among those who have heard it. I've read...

All right, guys, let's do this. If attending, post below with your gear list and I'll add your name. Larry (wavoman) got us a huge place this year in the same area as last year (East Hanover) , so it's no-hold-barred, pack 'em in. Bring EVERYONE! First, we need to lay down some rules. THE...

Hey guys, It's time! ...to start thinking about when we want to have the meet this year. Last year, things worked out really well and I'm planning on getting some info from wavoman (Larry) to contact some venues so it can happen again. This thread is just a date check. Last year, we had it...

All right, who else out there drinks excessive amounts of soda each day? I drink probably 2 cans a day, plus at every meal, and of all different kinds. I'm a Diet soda drinker myself because that's the way I was raised, so most regular soda tastes nasty to me. But heck, I love this stuff. I...

Angelis Labor Gabriel turntable Yikes! I saw an article on CNN announcing this turntable and thought of you, Todd. What do you think of this crazy concept, eh?

I was first made aware that Fang was developing an RE0 at the northern NJ meet we had during the summer. He explained that he was developing an all-metal IEM and that the small silver buds he presented to me were a prototype for the real thing. I listened to them and was surprised at their...

Head-Direct RE1 Review This review comes extremely late, but this is the first week I’ve only had one test and not much else. Hooray for Team College-Fi! Firstly, let me thank Fang for attending the NJ meet. Everyone enjoyed the gear he brought and I personally really enjoyed chatting with...

This is a thought I've had for a while. Now that there's enough band geeks floating around out there with me, I think it would be awesome to have a forum here for discussing actually making music instead of just listening to it. It can be for anything: guitar, orchestral/symphonic, percussion...

GRADO Professional Monitor Headphones - eBay (item 180271652342 end time Aug-09-08 10:40:52 PDT) I just figured I'd throw that out there. I'm not interested obviously, as a member of team College-Fi, but figured I should post it here in case anyone is interested or sees a potential hoax.

JOSEPH GRADO PRE AMPLIFIER RARE! GRADO PRE AMP - eBay (item 170240141662 end time Jul-22-08 11:44:02 PDT) Yup, I admit it, I got completely owned just now. Just wondering who else was watching and bidding?

Hey guys, I'm home from college, and I missed the CanJam, so I'm itching to get in a meet. We'll shoot for a weekend in July because that'll give us time to organize it. I'm anticipating this will be a small meet because there aren't too many of us in NJ, but if we could grab some people from...
