    Portable external hard drive recommendations?

    Hooray! I can help here! Western Digital. I have a 100 GB portable hard drive. It's never given me any problems - just plug and play. Nothing to install. Computer recognizes it right away. Fast transfer rate. Never freezes up. I got a great deal on ebay. I'd rather get two smaller hard...

    Bose Triport, Senn PX100 or PX200; I can't tell, Sony MDR V6 I think it's called, a couple of Skullcandy headphones at my high school in LA. I have to say, the Skullcandy look pretty cool. Check this out though - my friend's dad makes the Skullcandy headphones! I ought to get some...

    Wireless Adapter for SA6

    Wires getting tangled and pulled is quite a hassle when moving! I would only buy IEMs for listening to music on the go - for at home use, I have to say, full sized headphones just sound better. Will wait for more positive reviews ; )

    Wireless keyboard/mouse

    Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse set because my computer desk is getting too clumped with wires and I keep pulling the keyboard wire! I'm looking at these two: Amazon.com: Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave Set: Electronics Amazon.com: Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop...

    Sennheiser HD555 unamped or Denon D1000 unamped?

    Noise cancellation/leakage is really not one of my concerns because I'm buying the headphones primarily for at home use. Can someone answer these questions about the AD700 please: Do you think the sound quality on the AD700 is so superior to justify the size and look? Would someone with...

    Open phones on an airplane?

    For use on an airplane I think an IEM or a closed headphone is the only way to go. I'd prefer an IEM just because there's so little space around your seat...well, at least in economy class. Turning up the volume high enough on open headphones to drown out the airplane engine sound will really...

    Sennheiser HD555 unamped or Denon D1000 unamped?

    Hi guys, I've ruled out the HD555 because it seems to be more expensive than the D1000, but with inferior sound quality. Also, I don't like the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter which is about as long as my ipod! So D1000 vs AD700 The AD700 looks very big and intimidating...I think I have an average sized...

    Contemporary music with strings?

    Hi, can you guys recommend me some contemporary singers who incorporate strings into their songs? Or some good songs with strings? Things like Owen Pallet's music, "Eleanor Rigby", "Bittersweet Symphony", "Nicest Thing", etc. Thanks! Edit: By strings I mean classical orchestral...

    How to get internet on two desktops at home?

    I also agree that wires are more reliable but I don't think they're an option for me because the second desktop will be two rooms away from the modem. I'm familiar with USB devices...just plug it in and go. How does a wireless card work? Will I have to break open the back of my computer and...

    Patrick Wolf

    the magic position is more upbeat and accessible, wind the the wires is darker, and lycanthropy is more experimental. all three of his albums are good, but i'd go with magic position next to get started.

    Looking for a laptop (again)

    I'm very happy with my MacBook. I'd had a 3.0 ghz hp laptop before but to be honest, the macbook runs faster and most importantly, is more portable because it is small and lightweight. The hp laptop was huge and way to heavy to lug around campus. If you're buying the laptop to replace a...

    How to get internet on two desktops at home?

    Hi there, Currently I have internet on my desktop and I'm using a wireless router to get internet access to my laptop. I'm buying another desktop. How would I get internet on that, since it doesn't have a wireless receiver (or so I think it doesn't?) What gear do I need to buy or what...

    Sennheiser HD555 unamped or Denon D1000 unamped?

    Hi guys, I've narrowed my buying choices down to these two. I will be using the headphones for at-home use to listen to music on my ipod. I don't plan to use an amp. Sound isolation doesn't matter to me - I know HD555 is open and D1000 is closed, and I know both are comfortable. Which has the...

    Current Outstanding canalphones/IEMs from Top End to Bottom End

    So...what is the cream of the cream of the crop? Do they all have equal sound quality, just with different sound characteristics? I'm still looking for an IEM. I have the Super.fi Pro which do not satisfy me (I find the mid vocals very muffled, and the sound in general is fatiguing after...

    10 Favorite Songs from Motion Picture Soundtracks

    K are we judging based on the song alone, or how well the song fits in the scene? All I remember now is the scene at the end of Cruel Intentions, Bittersweet Symphony plays and it is just so amazing... The Schindler's List theme too
