    6SN7 Tube Addicts

    Hi guys, I need some help identifying some tubes I found in the closet. They are marked as Sylvania 6SN7 GTB. Trying to clear out some of my old gear and I'm wondering what these are worth? Also have a bunch of these GE 6SN7GTB tubes. These all have about 150 hours on them, were included with my...

    Need a low latency wireless headphone

    I know, wireless headphones suck. But I really need a pair because I am staying in a dorm and want to play my electric guitar. I have a few decent cans but the big issue is the wire. It gets in the way of the guitar, gets tangled up with the guitar cord, etc. It's fustrating as heck so I would...

    motorcycle grease-monkeys: help!

    perhaps it would be a good idea to fix what's broken (choke) before putting money on maintenance like carb cleaning.

    2010 Winter Olympics - do you care?

    I really don't care for them at all. In fact, I think it's pathetic how every country that hosts the Olympics tries to sweep everything under the rug and make their city seem like picture perfect utopia for the world to see. Personally, I think the Olympics is just a play-nice way for people to...

    Your fears and phobias.

    also have a small phobia of walking across wet slimey floors barefoot, for example the floors leading into the lockers/showers at swimming pools. I have to tip toe or scrunch my feet up to traverse them. The thought of all the disgusting bacteria/germ sesspools, and other peoples snot/spit...

    Driving across the country!

    depends on what your goal is. If you just want to get from point A to B without any drama, the interstate is the way to go. Early mornings and short breaks will cut down your travelling time by a lot. If I'm making time, I cut down my gas/washroom breaks to 5-10min. It's far too easy to get lazy...

    Your fears and phobias.

    dust. it's a stupid phobia that's completely brought about by my parents. Ever since I was young, my mom would force me to cover my nose/mouth if it was ever dusty, making a huge deal about it like I was going to die if I inhaled. Now if someone stirs up a lot of dust by moving furniture or...

    Need advice for beginner guitar player

    the good news is that guitar has really exploded in the last 5 years or so in general, especially with teens these days playing guitar hero/rock band and progressing onto the real thing. For $200-400 you can get a pretty decent electric to start, and there are a lot of options. For an amp, I...

    mac vs pc?

    I haven't bought the iMac yet, going to the apple store today to have a look. I'm having some doubts as i've seen a few display models out there with the screen issues. Again, there really is no price premium for the mac. In fact, I priced out the i5 pc that I had planned and it was $200...

    mac vs pc?

    I have a pretty good idea of the price difference. For arguments sake, the i5 windows system I was putting together, but using one ATI 5850 instead of crossfire: System Builder Marathon, Dec. 2009: $1,300 Enthusiast PC : System Builder Marathon: $1,300 Enthusiast System - Review Tom's...

    Tips on shipping to/from US and Canada

    agreed, use USPS only, mark as gift, and most importantly, declare the country of origin as USA (if they indeed were made in the usa). Underdeclaring the value is something you can do at your own risk, but keep in mind you can insure a different value than you declare on customs forms. here...

    drove too fast, front right wheel hit curb

    you need to bring it in to a suspension/tire place to get the front end inspected. At the very least you will need alignment. But it could be worse and you may have damaged other stuff, like the, tie rod, steering hub, etc. You may have also bent the rim which probably cannot just be fixed with...

    mac vs pc?

    Thanks for the responses guys. The biggest reason I was considering the mac was because I can learn all the ins/outs of windows, but I don't enjoy it. I'm at a point in my life where I want my computer to be efficient and help me do the stuff I need, instead of taking up my free time to...

    mac vs pc?

    guess I should mention that I haven't played a PC game in years, but also have a friend who works with apple that can get me 15% discount on a new system, which sort of factors into the price consideration. (I would not buy a mac for the retail prices)

    mac vs pc?

    I had been planning on a new pc for a few months already. Basically I was going to do what I've always done, read a bunch of reviews on the latest and greatest hardware, buy the stuff one price bracket under, and piece together my own pc that would inevitably be built on the kitchen table. I...

    UFC Discussion

    part of me didn't want to watch the randy/lesnar fight. I just don't see the point of throwing a veteran to the hounds like that. Dana White has no class. It goes to show he cares more about selling tickets and making money than mma as a sport. I doubt randy will fight again after this, fans...

    UFC Discussion

    and in other news, Brock Lesnar gets a title shot at Couture. Honestly, what is this trash? What kind of fighter gets a title shot when he only has TWO ufc fights under his belt. Dana White is selling out the UFC to try and draw in WWE fans or something. I can't believe this no-talent muscle...

    iPod Touch or Classic?

    I bought the 8gb touch thinking I wasn't going to keep it and would take it back within 30days. Well i did take it back the next day, to get the 16gb touch! It's such an amazing device, it's completely blown me away just like how the first ipod wheel blew the entire market away. It's easy to use...

    repairing the er6i (under the knife)

    Awhile back my er6i cut out in one channel. Originally this was caused by a frayed wire in the 1/8 plug, and I had already soldered on a new one. This time it was due to a bad connection in the earphone itself and required disassembly of the earpiece. I wear these IEM's on the subway as well as...
