I like the the fact that Head-fi's Diy section for the most part is headphone
specific.
There is always this place for more broard topics:

Lurkers - get the Senn 497 for when you're outside. But you said "members" - maybe we should all go outside more. Those 16 year old women are soooo fine.

you must've missed the great flame battles they had over the k501, oh, a year or 2 ago? you wouldnt believe how short people's fuses became arguing whether the k501's bass was 'natural-sounding' or simply 'not there'.

or maybe the grado vs the-rest-of-the-world threads?

or who could forget the backlash against the eggos after they fell out of favour as fotm?

'anger' is a head-fi tradition.

true. i hate to say it, but there are members here whose only purpose seems to be irreverence- they own little/no equipment, yet post 'opinions' on everything.

actually, imo now that we've already gone through discrimination, affirmative action, obesity, homosexual marriages and church vs state issues, TIO seems be to turning into a forum focusing mostly on american politics.

many forum members (yours truly included) cannot participate in those discussions.

That's the clever plan to phase it out. Just let things run their natural course and eventually everyone who is left will be either unwilling or unable to post in there

maybe TIO should be renamed to F.A.R.T (Forget. Audio. related. topics) a place to air your non audio opinions

We need a bunch of new high-end phones to come out. That'll get things moving.

LOL

 

[intlplby]

i find that the diyaudio seams to be more of a "buy half the parts ready-made from audio DIY boutiques and put it together like the new bike you got for christmas"

i find that there seems to be more design conversations and serious audio electronics nerd conversation here......i like that

i havent seen the type of discussions on here that you find people like PPL, Kevin Gilmour, Tangent etc getting into on a regular basis....

i just wish that i could see them have those discussions about DACs and power supplies etc.......

i've learned a lot from listening to them about amplifier design and theory

i want to learn more about DAC and PSU design and theory

There has to be something else out there other Ramen Noodles. This is a diverse board, we need some diverse cheap eats.

Head-Fi was more freewheeling & fun then before the offended, noble, conservative, senators clamped down in the name of good taste. BAH...Good taste in humour stinks. (I'm cranky this morning

)

Gimme a PinkFloyd thread anyday over a description of going shopping with wifey...ugh.

And more international members would help also.=2 cents.

EDIT:and have PinkFloyd, spaceman & lini become mods!
