Fiber internet.....Joygasms for daaaaaaaaaaaaaaays
I just moved to a new apartment in Round Rock and was stoked to see that AT&T offers their new fiber internet. The guy came today to hook me up and we talked a bit. I mentioned that advertised speeds were theoretical maximums and that I doubted I'd be getting 300Mb/s he said "Oh yeah..you...- cswann1

A look back on my first 5 years as a HeadFier
Hello HeadFiers. This month marked my 5th year as a forum member as well as a headphone audio enthusiast. I thought for my 1500th post I’d take a little time to reflect on the past 5 years. Before I joined HeadFi (by several years, dating back to the late 90’s) I was aware of...- cswann1

Austin TX meet impressions
I've been up for around 20 hours so I'm not going to do my commentary on the meet just yet. I have some serious snoozing to do first. I just wanted to give a HUGE THANKS to Chris (Maxvla) for working so hard to give us a great meet. We didn't get the turnout we were hoping for but we had...- cswann1

NOS HD580s sighted
I was watching this auction with mild interest but I didn't expect the final price to be this high. Pretty cool I think. It's no secret I am a HUGE fan of the 580. I have two minty pairs myself. I also noticed the buyer was a new eBayer. Wonder if he/she is a Head-Fier..- cswann1

Using cables to filter frequencies.
I did quite a few searches here and on the internet and couldn't really find anything on this so: Here's my situation. I have a new hp rig that I really like but I'd just like a little treble roll-off. I was thinking that a simple low pass filter built into the interconnect cables would be a...- cswann1

Why aren't there more electrostatics?
For a long time the high-end of headphone audio was the sole domain of the electrostatics. Then dynamics that were capable of producing very good sounds that were profitable to make and sell for reasonable prices came along and turned headphone audio into a serious hobby for the masses. ...- cswann1

Kindle let down......or not :P
OK, so I get the new Kindle yesterday. Man, what a slick little device. The electronic ink really is like reading printed paper. It's affordable, the perfect size, lasts a long time on a charge, and comes with a dictionary (two actually). I was pretty jazzed about it, until I...- cswann1

Why do we put up with it?
I know this is a little knit-picky but Since Denon announced the AH-D7000 their marketing literature has listed leather as the material used on ear-pads and headband. Still to this day, if you look at retailers web-sites they'll lead you to believe that you are buying a product with leather...- cswann1

eBay DOTY nominations
