I unfortunately, haven't been around here much lately, and I noticed that my signature says "All I want for Christmas is radio shack #910-4380". I wrote that in 2001, but now I don't know what it means. Does anyone happen to know what that might be, either have an old Radio Shack catalog...

I'd really like to get a nice discussion going about the way people organize their playlists. I put this in the music section because I feel that the playlists are essential to determining what you listen to. Smart playlists are a very overlooked feature of iTunes and the iPod. Using the ID3...

I just graduated from MIT, and I guess my parents do really love me because they got me a 30 gb iPod as a graduation present. And after spending about 50 hours in a car the week after I got it driving from Boston to Chicago and then to Philly with my Grado SR-60s and the OEM iPod headphones, I...

So after buying a few songs on Apple's Music Store, which is really cool, I decided to check out some of the other legal ways of buying MP3s that everyone was talking about, the most enticing was eMusic.com . I don't understand what the hell that companies business model is, or if they even...

Okay, here's the situation: I have a Sony STR-DE545 Receiver which has connections for both 5.1 capabilities as well as both A & B sets of front speakers. I also have 2 pairs of speakers. Klipsh kSF-8.5 floorstanding models and Bose 301 Series IV bookshelf speakers. I have a small dorm room...

I didn't really know what forum to put this in, and while there are probalby better sites to post this question to, I trust you guys more than anyone else on the internet. So, here goes... My little brother decided to throw a party that got out of hand while my parents were out of town for...

I just bought one on e-bay. So, I left the ac adapter for my discman at my desk at my summer internship when I left. Since batteries are getting pretty expensive for the damned thing, and I'm usually sitting near an outlet on campus when I'm using it, I thought I'd buy a new one. So, I went...

Is there any way you could add a link to the search engine from the home page? I usually come here looking for info on something specific, and it's kinda roundabout to get to the search engine. That would be great

I have 250 CDs and growing (thanks to my new CD burner) which is even small compared to some of you here. Now, finding most songs isn't a problem, you look for the band's CD and find what track number it is. Simple right? My problem is with the 40 (and growing even faster thanks to my colleges...

I miss you guys. I haven't been here in a couple of months because I've been busy at school. I haven't had nearly as much time to spend reading every post to this group since I stopped my summer internship. I used to be on the top 20 posters list, now I think I'm somewhere near the end of the...

Well guys, as a last hurrah before returning to school, before I lose access to my digital camera and now that I got my stuff from Blr, I thought I'd share with you guys photo's of my rig. All of the headphones and the amp I bought this summer thanks to all of you guys. The rest of the sources...

Today is the last day of my summer internship, so I will no longer be able to maintain such a strong involvement here, I won't have nearly as much time to waste here when I'm at school as when I'm being paid to "work" . It's been a great summer, I wouldn't have been nearly as unproductive had it...

Just thought you guys would all be interested in it. I would be much happier knowing that I didn't win the thing if the winner were a member of this community. Just go to Telarc's Website at www.telarc.com and click on the Sony picture.

The Telarc Collection sampler CDs are on sale now for $2.99 a piece at their website. They look like a great way to hear what they have to offer and better choose other CDs to buy from them. Does anyone know any coupon codes for Telarc's website?

I own a 400 disc CD player, so I would like to burn a copy of the CDs I listen to a lot to listen to in the car since it takes a day and a half to eject CDs from my CDP. I got fed up with just writing on them with a Sharpie, it looked so unproffesional. So I bought Avery's CD/DVD Ink Jet...

So, I was sitting here listening to THE ULTIMATE DEMONSTRATION DISC: Chesky Records' Guide to Critical Listening and I decided that I would like to own some of the CDs that the tracks are taken from, so I went to Chesky's Site and all their CDs are $16.99, not outrageous considering the state of...

I'm just wondering if any of you have any suggestions for tracks to play for your friends when they go "You paid HOW much for those stupid headphones...Let me listen to them to see if they're any better than my [POS] Sony headphones". They could be good due to Bass Response (always a good one to...

Does anyone have any experience with PS Audio's Ultimate Outlet or Power Plants? Is their intention to have you buy an Ultimate Outlet and then plug the Power Plant into that? And are you supposed to also upgrade your original outlet to a Power port or something? It just all seems very...

This may be slightly off topic, but it's an electronic accessory, and I'm assuming it plays CDs, although I'm assuming it's headphone jack isn't quite up to par with X-cans . Check this out! Personally, I wouldn't buy it (my DVD player alone cost $500), but for $400 including the LCD...

We need a crying 'smily' for this thread, sad isn't good enough. Then again, maybe this is more appropriate. I'm sitting here at work (on head-fi, not actually doing work of course ) and listening to the Beatles 1 CD which I just bought at the beginning of the summer, and it's skipping...

I just saw somewhere that Soundblaster is making soundcards for Macs now and that Onkyo has an outboard sound..uh..card. What I'm wondering is, what benefits do these cards offer over what's already coming out of my Macintosh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a PC needs a soundcard to play anything...

I am the proud new owner of Blr's OBH-11!!! (after a few minor incidents with Western Union) The good news is that it comes with the OBH-2 power supply, the bad news is that it's the European version and I can't use it since I live in the U.S. without some sort of adapter. What should I...

I own the HD600 and I'm looking to buy an amp. So far I've been considering the Creek and maybe the Grado RA-1 or just a TA, but since there are some tube amps that aren't much more expensive than these models, and i've heard such good things about combos such as the X-Cans/HD600s, I started...

So, I'm sitting here at work listening through my HD600s to my Sony D-E406CK portable CDP playing a copy of Limp Bizkit's Significant Other that was burned from I believe 128kbit MP3s. It was the first CD I made with my burner on Sunday, I actually think I burned it at 12X. Anyway, anyone who...

Introduction: As many of you know, I am new to this whole headphone thing, but I decided to jump in the deepend when I went from a pair of cheap Sony's to my HD600s, and about a week later I picked up the DSP Pro on E-bay for $45. I would just like to say that it is a fun little gadget that is...
