ATH-W1000X Thread!
Well, it's been almost four years since I purchased my W1000X. They prompted me to put my other AT woodies away for safekeeping, and have consequently seen a lot of use. Just recently they developed a problem. The right channel was cutting in and out, related to movement. I isolated the...- Superpredator

Tea-Fi?
I've used a diluted bleach soak to clean a Yixing pot that was allowed to get moldy. Seems to be the accepted practice to clean out funky/old pots, at least by people who are willing to risk it all to maybe make a pot usable again. I'd never use it for daily cleaning, since it takes a lot of...- Superpredator

Tea-Fi?
Quote: Sweet. I had a tea blog for a few years (free tea! a lot of it) but I actually hate recommending tea to people, because my tastes have changed. When I first got into loose leaf, even though I had been drinking bagged green and oolong, for some reason I figured the only tea that...- Superpredator

Tea-Fi?
Staal, I'm not sure if UK shops help you out, but both Canton Tea Co and Jing Tea are really great. Tea Spring is also quite good, an easy place to start with a wide selection and $4 worldwide shipping. Jing Tea Shop (different from Jing Tea) in China is also good, but kind of more...- Superpredator

Tea-Fi?
I got a 15-year-old Dong Ding last week. Pretty good. I'm also enjoying a spinachy Honorable Mention Baozhong (I love savory vegetable flavors in green oolong) and a Taiwan Wuyi (processed as a Wuyi), an interesting slant on the traditional, mainland varietals. It's weird to taste both Wuyi...- Superpredator

Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?
Newfangled old fart stopping by. I haven't been here in so long that my one of my interests still reads "TV on DVD." You youngguns probably don't even know what those are. By so long I mean a year.- Superpredator

Petition: I would like the old site back (or other choice)
Quote: Yeah, I feel you. The main problem with asking for input beforehand is that people aren't generally aware of what they like/need until it's gone. I never would have said, "Hey, keep the page navigation below each thread!" Mainly because I never would have expected not to...- Superpredator

Petition: I would like the old site back (or other choice)
Quote: I'm not a huge fan of the new platform (much of it stinks), but I think most of us would agree Jude has every right to do whatever he wants with Head-Fi. The Internet rewards foresight, and he had it. My understanding is that he put together an alternate forum when HeadWize was...- Superpredator

Hits per day down by how much
Quote: I've been very curious about this as well. Views in general seem to be at a decent level at the moment, but hits must be down overall. Headphone-related hits, that is. The forum change is generating its own unique traffic. Quote: No kidding. I imagine it's the worst...- Superpredator

Petition: I would like the old site back (or other choice)

Great thread Towert7. When reasonable people are finding the gaps in usability intolerable, they probably are. Quote: Nooooooooooooooooooo! Of all the dumb problems with the new platform, this might be the most troublesome.- Superpredator

5 Star reviews bonanza
Yeah, this seems like a problem, since experienced members probably aren't going to retrace their steps and post realistic, "perspectived" reviews of equipment they've long since parted with. The content of the reviews should be useful, but the ratings may well be doomed to meaninglessness.- Superpredator

Poor Man's Hobby
Any number of us could liquidate our headphone rigs to fund a changeover to speakers if we had the desire. Making generalizations about people with money or the appearance thereof and/or audio enthusiasts of any kind is a huge tiny mistake. ...- Superpredator

Petition: I would like the old site back (or other choice)
I've seen a lot of people mention the potential for Jude, et al. to tweak the site to improve deficiencies. Do we know for sure how much tweaking is even possible? I've checked out some other forums running on Huddler, and aside from cosmetic differences, they all pretty much look the same to...- Superpredator

Writing a movie script, any advice how to pitch my idea for a movie.
Quote: Think of Hollywood like a bunch of kids making lemonade, under mom's watchful eye, x 1000. Or whatever. Thousands of lemonade stands. The essential choice one has when selling lemonade is: water, sugar, lemon, ice, or water, Country Time, ice. If a lemonade stand tries to sell...- Superpredator

Need an easier way to tell the size of a thread
... that isn't just a number under the Replies column. I liked the vBulletin dual-purpose page navigation under each thread title that allowed one to discern a thread's size at a glance. While scanning down the titles on a page, it clearly distinguished threads from one another. It was quite...- Superpredator

Quote: Yes. I used to be able to check all the major subforums for new threads of interest in less than 30 seconds. Since the switch to Huddler, I haven't even been in all the subforums yet. Way too much scrolling for a trackpad, as if every bit of information had loosened and...- Superpredator

Batman 3: Which new villain do you want to see?
Harley Quinn probably should have been introduced with The Joker, but I'd like to see some females. Poison Ivy, Quinn, Catwoman. Scarlett Johannson would have made a nice Poison Ivy during her Lost In Translation days. Maybe still, I don't know. Amanda Seyfried as Quinn. Charlize Theron...- Superpredator

Start with mumblecore, that way you don't have to make it interesting or pitchable. I'd like to see some dark, campy mumblecore.- Superpredator
