    ER4 foam on E3C?

    Headroom is out of the foamies, and being impatient, I was wondering if the ER4 (etymotic) foam would work on the E3's. Would there be any problems with sliding off easily, or do people do it often. Alternatly, a site that ships to canada and has the tips in stock would work wonders...

    Please suggest me some operatic bass singers...

    I've been listening to too much tenor vocals lately (Russell Watson, Placido Domingo, three mo' tenors, a little Josh Groban (I know.....)), and I'm really wanting to get into some classically trained bass singers. I do enjoy opera, and I'd just love to hear some basses or baritones that can...

    Making a nice meal...

    I'm going to be cooking up some nice food for lunch tomorrow for the girlfriend, and I want to make some double baked salmon potatoes (bake them, cut in half, scoop out middle, mix with salmon and creme cheese, put back in potato, top with cheddar, and bake again). But I need something else to...

    Digital camera advice please

    Best friend's looking to spend somewhere south of $500 US on a new digital camera, and asked me for advice. I'm not really that abreast the market at the moment, so I came to the wellspring of advice that is Head-Fi for answers. Knowing that she's looking for something small (Canon S60 ish...

    The great music circle!

    Okay, I was reading a thread earlier in Member's Lounge that implied that the music forum needed some livening up. I got to thinking and this is what I came up with. A great circle of music flowing through the forum. Now, here's my thought. We get everyone interested in this to post. And...

    Attention CANADIANS!

    In 1970, Lester B pearson urged many western nations to commit ).7% of their GDP to foreign aid and going to help solve problems in third world nations. Many western nations pledged to do so, and to date, none has. Let us take the lead, let us make this promise an issue this election, let us...

    Asking a favour from RS-1 Owners.

    I've currently got a pair of SR-125's that I want to mod. I'm planning on taking a solid chunk of wood (either oak, mahogany (like the RS-1) or maple) and making new driver housings. I'm hoping to get close to the RS-1 size and shape, so if anyone out there could take a ruler and measure for...

    June Windsor (ontario) Meet?

    Would anyone be interested in a meet on a June Saturday in Windsor? I'm thinking either the 12th or 19th but could do the 5th as well if it worked better for people. Would be at my place with plenty of space, either in the basement if there are lots of people, or in the rec room if there are...

    pocketknives

    Well, I've always carried a pocketknife. As long as I can remember I've always had a knife on me. It gets carried like keys, wallet, and such. What amazes me though is that I'm constantly being criticized for doing so. People seem to think of a knife as a weapon instead of as a tool, and that...

    A bit of system advise please.....

    Getting about $120 in the near future, and I've decided to spend it on my headphone rig. It currenty consists of a computer source (Audigy2) feeding Grado SR125's ampless. I'm debating on what would be the best way to go for me. Either a new amp (probably a Pimeta caseless and I'll build the...

    Mains power question...

    Well, since people are always keen on getting a nice power cord to plug their gear into the mains power, I was wondering if anyone has upgraded the cabling that goes from the main trunk at the road and then throughout the house... Maybe nicely shielded cabling would be a worthy upgrade for...

    My woman just left me, so I'm planning on smoking a nice cigar, sipping a decent scotch, and listening to music when I get home. All I need is the music. Anyone have anything that seems appropriate? Maybe some country? Or some good woman-bashing music? I just don't want to listen to the...

    Cheap naked amp or my marantz?

    I'm getting an urge to upgrade. From no amplification to some amplification that is. I currently listen to my SR-125 out of my computer (Audigy2 SC) and I'm fairly pleased. However, listening to the same music through a generic panasonic home CD player and then the headphone jack on my...
