EDIT: Somehow in my boneheadedness I missed the general bug reporting thread (even though I looked at the recent threads for such a thing). Please forgive my posting this as a separate thread, and feel free to move this post to the appropriate thread. I know the site admins have a lot on their...

Short and sweet: if you're playing, tell the thread about your experience--your towering triumphs, your crushing defeats*, the total number of kilometers you've managed to walk, what sort of Pokemon are common in your area, how badly the game drains your battery, etc.   *Like the Pidgeot I...

It is odd but not peculiar. It is small but not tiny. It is pretty but not beautiful. It is excellent but not superb. It is both apple and cinnamon, but neither fruit nor spice...   ...and so on.   If you figure the riddle out, play along and post some more hints. Don't spoil it! The...

There have got to be some boxing fans here on Head-Fi. A search turned up a few threads about single bouts from years past, but no general thread about boxing. So I figured I'd fix that.   2013 has been an exciting year already, and it's about to get even more exciting next week with...

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS & DISCLOSURE   I'd like to thank Isabel at RHA for promptly sending me my review sample, many months ago by this point. I'd also like to apologize for taking so long to get this review out. I've tried on numerous occasions to convey what I wanted to say, only to read over what...

Note: this thread concerns media stored on a computer in a broader sense than just music, but I mainly use the concepts described herein for playing my music, so I figured this would be the proper place for this topic.   For the past few years I've been using one of my old computers to serve...

It's snowing outside. It's dark and miserable. Later on tonight, or tomorrow if it doesn't end by nightfall, I will have to shovel 4-7" off a 100 foot driveway, knowing full well it will probably snow at least three more times this winter.   It ain't fun anymore. They don't even close school...

Anybody remember having to do these in school? You know the drill. Pick your favorite headphone maker(s) or model name and go (preferably ones that don't consist entirely of numbers, for obvious reasons!). See if you can do it without looking anything up!   Also, it's probably better if we...

Anybody out there a fan of these quirky old instruments? Even cooler, anybody actually own one or ever play one?   If you have no idea what I'm talking about, basically, it's a tape-based keyboard instrument that plays back prerecorded sounds (e.g. flute, cello, strings). Sort of the old...

Head-Fi'ers, by and large, have some of the nicest audio gear in the world. But we've all got a few clunkers sitting in the drawer. You know what I'm talking about. The cruddy stuff we bought before we knew any better, probably from a big box store. The stuff we'd be embarrassed to admit we ever...

UPDATE 12/18/11: I figured I'd put this here because this post, which I'm appending (or prepending, maybe) with an update, otherwise leaves things up in the air. Since I posted this last Tuesday, my hearing seems to have made a full recovery. I did ultimately make an appointment with my doctor...

I just discovered something very weird about the copy of E.L.O.'s Out of the Blue I got from Amazon today. I had ordered (or thought I had ordered) the 2007 remastered version and was surprised (and momentarily miffed) to see that they had sent what appeared to be Joe Gastwirt's original 1990...

The title says it all. We've got multiple complaint threads; how about the antithesis? You can post about anything that's exciting, brings you joy, etc., be it Head-Fi/audio-related or not (but please try to follow the forum rules, of course--the mods here do a great job, so let's not make their...

It's supposed to drop around a foot of snow in Southeast Michigan tonight. So far there's been a lot of wind but not a lot of flakes. It's been wreaking havoc in its wake. Our business had to cancel a shipment from Colombia (no, not what you're thinking) on account of the weather.   How's...

Just feeling around to see if anybody else around here is into this. For those who don't know, a Let's Play is a series of videos of a video game, with live or post-commentary made by the player or players. The game is recorded with video capture hardware, and the narration is usually captured...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUrk2W_r5fc   I just thought this was kind of amusing, in an "I'm an elitist and proud of it" sort of way. A lot of people are proud of their Beats and Skullcandies and Bose headphones, evidently. I posted the comment about my DT880. My SRH440 fared less...

Background and Reference   Back in July I began my formal quest for a nice pair of headphones. This quest led me to HeadRoom, Head-Fi, and finally, the local Guitar Center to try out some of the headphones they had in stock. After an hour listening I had sampled three different headphones...

There was a similar thread that I had to resist the urge to necrobump. Just yesterday I finally got down to brass tacks and sought out a version of this seasonal piece I could really enjoy. I greatly prefer a cappella versions to the more orchestrated or differently arranged ones, so that's what...

I've had my DT880 for several months now, and just recently I noticed that the cable strain relief into the left cup on mine is different from every picture I've ever seen. While the relief in these pictures (most of them just variations of the stock photo) is smooth and tapered, mine is the...

Many of you here were probably around in the hobby back in the early 2000s or so and thus might remember the (charmingly ugly) old HeadRoom website. Well, for those who weren't (like me!), there's the good old Internet Archive Wayback Machine. There are quite a few save dates, but this one from...

EDIT: Just dawned on me that there's a separate forum for this. Doh! If a mod could kindly move this for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.   I'm looking into getting a set of portable headphones--something to compliment my stationary DT880 rig. I'm looking for sort of the antithesis, which...

The title says it all. For me, it was about three months ago, with a set of SR225i. I was rediscovering a bunch of 80s pop that I hadn't listened to in forever, and something just clicked. Maybe it was because the Grados were just perfect for that music for some reason, but I found myself...

A search turned up a few threads about this, but most of them started pushing up the daisies over four years ago. I figured instead of necromancing, I'd begin afresh.   Lately I've found myself listening a great deal to "In Paradisum" from the Faure Requiem. I often fall asleep listening to...
