Phish is live streaming their show in Chicago tonight, and I noticed the drummer put on a pair of Grados for a marimba lumina solo during Scent of a Mule.  They looked like GS1000s to me, or maybe RS1s.  Did anyone else catch this and identify which model he was wearing?

It's been quite a while since I last posted, but I'm in need of some advice.  I recently purchased a Sennheiser PC360 headset to use for Xbox gaming.  I'm fully aware that the PC360 is designed for PC and not console gaming, but I figured I'd at least try to get it working, since it's a very...

I've been using iTunes to add album art to my music for quite some time now, as it's quick and easy. Recently, however, I started having an issue with it. Typically when I rip a new CD with iTunes (in Apple Lossless), I'll do a google image search for the album art, save it to a folder on my...

To all those wireless networking gurus out there, I have (what I think is) a simple question. How secure is a network with WEP encryption and MAC address filtering enabled? From the little bit I've read, I don't think it's very secure. My roommate, on the other hand, claims that, in his...

In addition to Head-Fi, I read a forum about flashlights (CandlePowerForums). One of the members runs (or ran, I don't think it's active anymore) a very good flashlight review site. One of the extra "features" on his site is a brief article discussing a little bit of psychology behind what...

If I convert a song from Apple Lossless to mp3 (320 kbps), will I get a file of equal quality as if I rip the same song from the CD directly to mp3? This would all be done in iTunes. Method 1: CD -> ALAC -> mp3 (320) Method 2: CD -> mp3 (320) Given that ALAC is a lossless format, my gut...

I'm having a problem with Itunes skipping two or three times per album. It's not a huge skip like if a CD player is jarred, but it's quite obvious and very annoying. I'm running Itunes 7.6.2.9 on Windows Vista. This happens regardless of how many other applications I have open, even if it's just...

I have some FLAC files that I want to put on my ipod, so I figured the best way to do that would be to convert them to WAV, and then to Apple Lossless. I realize I could use alternative firmware such as Rockbox, but I don't want to get into that at this point. So, can anyone recommend a free...

So I've read a great deal about how the Sennheiser HD650 really needs good amplification to come close to or reach its full potential. I understand that a little battery powered portable headphone amp probably isn't going to cut it, but I'm more confused as to just how high end one needs to go...

I'll start with a brief introduction. I've been lurking here for several months now. I love music and have been very interested in learning all that I can about headphones, amps, speakers, etc. Recently, my focus as been on my 2 channel speaker setup. I'm on a very low budget, so I have a Trends...
