I don't care how they sound. I want a pair of these. Check out the case for the Les Pauls toward the end of the video. :atsmile: http://tpn.tv/2015/02/21/gibson-adds-headphones-to-their-iconic-line/ se

There was a song that was popular for a while in the 80s. Think it was somewhere between the mid 80s to late 80s. The one thing I remember about it is that it had a very simple, very syncopated beat of percussion instruments. No guitars or anything. And just a simple male vocal. I can "hear" the...

This past Wednesday, my friend Stuart Yaniger spent the afternoon with Milwaukee-based singer, songwriter and musician Peter Mulvey. The goal was to capture some of Peter's music-making at its most intimate; completely naked. That meant live, with a simple Blumlein pair of microphones, and no...

Seriously? You can't say a legitimate "****" here (it gets automatically replaced by asterisks) but it's advertising adult websites? Not that I'm offended by the ad. It's the hypocrisy. If you're going to run adult advertising, get rid of the silly nanny filter. se

Was listening to NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday this morning while waiting for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! and caught a segment by Sam Sanders about Apple's purchase of Beats and was surprised to hear commentary by our own Tyll Hertsens...

Ok, perhaps not so much sound-related (though there is some music playing in the background), but it's rather sciencey.   I'd just glued some labels onto some string-tie envelopes we use for packaging and then put them back into the plastic "boxes" that we receive the envelopes in. I later...

Was perusing some old Radio Shack catalogs over at radioshackcatalogs.com and found this in the 1949 catalog. se

  So I was watching Democracy Now this evening and during the break they played a nice bit of percussive jazz. When they came back from the break, Amy Goodman said it was "Mistake" by what sounded something like "Flaya" or some such. However after much searching, I haven't been able to find it...

More and more lately I've been accessing the web from my iPad. Recently I've noticed when I'm on a HeadFi page, all of a sudden I'm sent to the App Store to a page for some silly game. At first I thought it was due to an errant finger, but now I'm pretty sure that this is happening...

I've always loved that phrase. And then yesterday I noticed the perfect ad pop up.       se

Came across this tumblr. blog last night via a post over on ohm image. Might seem a bit silly at first, but at the end of the day I thought it was both funny and brilliant. http://knobfeel.tumblr.com/ se

All of a sudden Avast is issuing malware warnings. Had about 5 in the past 10 minutes. Seems to depend on what ads are coming up and the warnings point to URLs at ad.yieldmanager.com   se

Starting this thread for discussion of The Audiophile Network BBS (TAN), BBSes in general, and the "good old days" that went along with them.   se

Been getting a lot of script crashes recently from saymedia.com. Using Firefox 21.0 on Windows XP.   se

...or did this forum recently get dropped down below the equipment forums?   Seems a bit ironic for "Summit-Fi" to be moved to the bottom of the heap.   se

An interesting experiment taking place in this thread over at diyAudio.   http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/everything-else/236248-fancy-interconnects-how-about-potato-even-mud.html#post3497210   se

I always looked forward to the next episode of HeadFi TV. Even if a particular episode wasn't about something I was particularly interested in, I still enjoyed watching and thought it was great for the community.,   But today I noticed that there hasn't been any video output from HeadFi for...

The thread hasn't been locked, yet when I try and access it, it says I don't have sufficient permissions. But if I log out, I can access it just fine (though can't reply as you have to be logged in to a registered account).   Has anyone else been similarly locked out?   se

  As music lovers, we spend sometimes considerable sums of money on that which has already been created; from the recordings themselves to the gear to play them back on. Here's a chance to put some of your money toward the creation of something. Something new and something that I think is very...

  I'm trying to compile a list of DACs or music servers which incorporate volume control. Doesn't matter if it's in the digital or analog domain.   So far I'm aware of offerings from:   Cambridge Audio Wyred 4 Sound Antelope Audio Berkeley Audio Labs Resolution Audio Lavry...

  Anybody have the TRRS wiring spec for the 801? I had it a while back but I'll be damned if I can find it now.   Thanks!   se    

Quote:   Not sure what this has to do with what we're discussing.   Quote:   A transient event is simply an event that occurs for a relatively short period of time.   If I pluck the low E string on a bass guitar and just a moment later mute it with the palm of my hand, that...

  I recently noticed that if I click on an image in a post, which displays a larger version of the image, when I close that image, I'm taken either to the top of the page that I'm currently viewing or sometimes it takes me back to the very first post in the thread.   Using the latest...

Since I'm not offering these for sale or trade, I don't think it's too inappropriate to post this here.   I bought these at the request of a customer. When I received them and opened them up, I couldn't believe what I found. A ground contact that's made up of three separate pieces, with the...
