Greetings.   Students of the world, what do you listen to when you study? Notice any trends in what you gravitate towards while studying (for our more adult crowd, as you work)? Post what you're listening to now, if you wish!   In the pre-Thanksgiving study marathon last night, I...

Hey y'all, I'm a new student at UofM Twin Cities, and I was wondering what kind of head-fi contingent the area has to offer! Milwaukee has a pretty fair amount, but based on the locations on the profiles of regular posters, I've seen almost none. If anyone is interested, I'd love to meet up with...

Since the last has been put out of commission, it's time for a pie thread. My favorites are strawberry rhubarb and pumpkin, and classic apple (though a bit dull) is always welcome.    RIP, you were gone before your time had come.   http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/511052/d

Hey guys, I have recently (read: 2 hours ago) started running. I'm a pretty athletic guy, just graduated from HS lettering in tennis and soccer for the past couple years, and I've always had to do running for practice. However, now that I'm not on a team, I have no one to guide my running. I...

I think that I just threw up a little bit in my mouth... If you know any 'good' ones, post 'em here! + YouTube Video ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.

Anyone here that has/is currently participating in the Essentially Ellington competition? My jazz band just got the notice that we were invited to go to New York... I'm feelin' so crazy right now.

Perhaps this is why they've struggled to break into the high-end... Koss embezzlement may exceed $20 million - JSOnline

I'm really really sorry to start a new thread, but I'm super-excited and really happy! I got accepted into University of Minnesota (not a stretch by any means, but I'm still feeling really good)!! I'm smiling like a damned fool right now...:biggrin : Does anyone here on head-fi go there for...

Has anyone seen this movie yet? For some reason, no theaters within a 40-mile radius are showing it (Pretty weird, considering that it came out over a week ago). I was just wondering what people thought of it, and how it compared to the book.

Just wondering if there are any tennis players out there. If so, what racquet are you using? Also, strings and grips welcome. I use a Babolat Pure Storm Tour with all babolat luxilon string at ~60.

Someone please tell me if this doesn't work or doesn't make sense, but wouldn't putting a resistor between your amp and drivers eliminate current related hum by raising the resistance? (be kind, I'm only in Phys 1 and my knowledge of circuits is basic)

My audio-friend and I (my other friends 'disapprove' of my hobby, and I've managed to get 1 other addicted to audio, hence 'audio-friend') need a secret handshake. Any suggestions?

This is kind of a multiple impressions thread. First, aimed at newbs like myself, what did you think of expensive audio equipment when you first learned about it? When did you first realize that you were an 'audiophile?' What do your friends and family think of you being an...

I am planning on buying a Mingda MC66-AE in the very near future. I have pretty much decided on that amp, so I don't want discussion about that. Anyway, I've narrowed my choice of vendor down to 2 primary choices, China Highend Hifi (Mingda MC66-AE) or Ornec (Knoxes?) (Meixing MingDa MC66-AE...

Just wanted to put something up for people to share their favorite artists/albums, preferably prog rock, but I guess prog metal. My favorite is definitely Van der Graaf Generator. Gotta love Pawn Hearts

I'm getting a pair of AKG k701's soon, and I was wondering what amp makes a good match for these phones. My budget is <$1000, but I can be flexible. This is mostly just for ideas, I'll try them out and see what I like after this. All ideas are welcome!
