Largest one day gain in the history of the Dow. Congrats to those who have money invested in the stock market; you can breathe a bit easier today. That would include my parents (who were freaking out all weekend), and myself. Hopefully we can avert another historic plunge for now (like, for...

So, so many from which to choose. But you have to have a favorite, and an explanation would be appreciated. If it's your favorite song of all time, say so. My favorite: "Black Dog," and it's my favorite song of all time. Why? First, the main riff is genius, and is what inspired my to...

Cubs = OUCH! Sorry, fans... they were my NL pick, too.

Am I the only one here who has ever wanted to say that? Just checking. EDIT: see posts 6 and 7 for the deeper meaning of what this thread is intended to accomplish.

Hello trusted HFers, At the end of last month, I made an agreement to tutor a lady's eighth grader for the cut-rate price of 35 per 1.5hr. We agreed on two lessons per week on Fri/Sat. She promptly wrote me a check for the full month's lessons (which cleared). The first two weeks went fine...

My mom just told me, because I was sleeping when she discovered it. I'm not that angry, because I had taken Xanax already. And actually, I don't want to talk about what was stolen. However, this little joke of a crime is going to cost our family $500, because of the insurance deductible...

This my sarcastic answer to AdamCalifornia's very odd poll about John Bonham vs. Lars Ulrich. Answer honestly. Who had the better chops (accuracy, precision). Not asking about songwriting skill. More like, who could perform the best solo, or improvise better. Who played cleaner? Answer...

Hello Audio-Technica fans and detractors. Seeing as though this headphone has enjoyed a surge in popularity of late, I though that it would benefit all to concentrate the discussion. This is not specifically an Appreciation Thread, as I want the discussion to be balanced. The reason for this is...

So I was heading back to the East Bay, when I saw smoke. It was very black, so I thought "Oh ****, something is on fire, and the blaze just started." I started following the smoke, and traveled probably two miles. I thought from the perceived location a Taco Bell was on fire, but then I could...

It's been a good event thus far, primarily because there are so many top pros remaining in the field. Who wouldn't want to see Hellmuth, Matusow, and Cunningham battling at the final table? Only problem I have with the event is that, for selfish, money-related sponsor reasons, the final table is...

I think it's not bad. Only thing is that I like to see peoples' PPD average without clicking extra buttons.

Hope you engage in an extra long Stax listening session today! Thanks for being so helpful.

This mainly applies to contributing members, but... how many? I have 418, and I'm dreading when I have to sort out which ones to keep.

Anybody want to get the impressions started?

So, this is mostly applicable to all those fancy new portable amps with DAC options. Since all the electronics are on the same board, that means no IC. Does this not mean we have a purer representation of the DAC?

FROM QUANG: "Okay. Im very sorry. im just scared. very scared. I was the one who scammed. I will give all the money back. I dont know what I was thinking lying to you or any other people. This is the truth. I was intending to sell and ship the headphones. However, my uncle backed out. I...

I love Federer, but he's no match for Nadal on clay. Nadal might be the greatest clay court player ever, and Federer the greatest grass/hard player ever. But I think it's going to be Nadal in straight sets for his fourth consecutive title. And then Fed will take the remaining two Slams.

So let's say I have IC A and IC B. Now, I take A and connect it to R, and B to L. Then I play a mono recording. I can simply listen to each side separately and do the comparison, since each channel gets a differently altered signal. Of course, this only works if my ears hear the same.

For all those MLB fans, what do you think about the fact that there have been four no-hitters tossed by RedSox players in the last seven or so years? (Oh, and don't forget Curt Schilling's 8 2/3 no-no last season) That's just insane. I think a good deal of it has to do with the catcher, Jason...

For the first several days of my having the HR Balanced Desktop I was using the signal cable silver XLR IC. I had nothing on which to base my impressions, but everything sounded great. Then, I stuck the AQ Jaguar into my system... my GOD did it make an improvement. With the K701 I can hear many...

13 is my favorite number, and this is an incredible number of posts, so congrats!

So, if I make a bunch of CDRs with a high-quality writer, will that be much better than the same album played using a USB connection to the DAC? Assume I am using your average $100 DVD/CD player. I am inclined to think it's better. I suppose a similar question is: how much degradation is there...

Abstract: So, I decided to have a healthy "midnight" snack of Muscat grapes. They are my favorite fruit by a large margin. However, I noticed that my mom had placed a large bunch of them in the refrigerator uncovered. Having worked part-time at a late-night cookie delivery service (Mrs...

Do you think that the forum changes will come into effect today? It would seem to be appropriate timing...
