Anybody know where the best place to go for Ety ER-4 filters (UK based delivery) is? There are lots of filter change tools and tips, notsomuch the green filters.   I'd rather pay a quid more for ones which aren't polystyrene Hong Kong fakes, just in case people suddenly poke me at a couple...

Before I begin I want to apologise for the thread title, I'm not personally fond of the ubiquity of the -fi suffix, however it seems to have become the established recognition nomenclature for topic-based-threads. I was curious to see how many people here might be postgraduate students. A...

Can I have a cookie please?

Worth getting the ball rolling early I think Trip down was hellish. My mothers little Honda was not built for that kind of journey in that kind of utterly festering miserable weather. I'd also forgotten just how far it is and how misdirectional my satnav can be. Lass O Gowrie pub...

In case some of the UK students here haven't heard about this, Microsoft is doing a big slice offer for Windows 7 which comes out in the next day or so. http://www.microsoft.com/uk/education/studentoffer/ 32bit Home 64bit Home 32bit Pro 64bit Pro £30 for any of them so long as you've...

The conferance centre won't get back to me about rooms. I am not going to go chasing them with a stick. I have moved my money set aside for organising this in other things and I am now very busy for my upcoming PhD and other personal things which were not as pressing during the time when I had...

This topic has cropped up a couple of times in the past. The last time that it was brought up, Wayne went on a magnificent thread shutdown patrol, to the benefit of all. While things have not degenerated back to as bad as it was then (entire first page of the members lounge littered with...

There isn't a huge amount on head-fi related to these headphones, certainly not compared to most, but I thought that it would be good to accumulate an index of links to threads related to them in the past and perhaps contain conversation from owners, interested parties and anyone who enjoys...

I've had my eye on one of these products for a little while. I smoke, max perhaps, 3 or 4 times a month, if that, and on those occassions like to smoke a small golden virginia tobacco roll-up. The problem is that i smoke so seldom that tobacco tends to go dry and manky before i finish it...

Because Im fairly sure there used to be. But I see people like jamato8, with sigs that actually fill up a 1024x768 screen. And thats exaccerbated by the fact its chock full of large spaces (plus having links to content which is political in nature). I'm picking him as an example because he's a...

Cuts is perhaps an overly keen word if its just going over with the clippers. I just decided last week that since I was paying the barber £5 a pop and a set of clippers is £20 I'd start doing it myself. Did it tonight. Managed to get the back nearly right, a small chunk out of the wrong...

I've tidied this up from the rant I stuck on facebook (IE, made it family safe for the sensitive head-fi audience). BBC NEWS | Health | Pratchett funds Alzheimer's study Terry Pratchett. Terrible that he had to develop a brain disease of course, I wouldn't wish that on anyone... So yes...

Big big thanks and a bucket of kudos to Milkpowder for hosting this meet at his place, and for putting half of us up for the night on his assortment of beds. Thanks dude. I turned up rather later than I had intended, on account of the fact that I woke up with a stinking hangover in the...

Perhaps apt that a chap from the land of haggis and black pudding should ask but... Whats the point at which you'd have to say "no" to a food? I myself have no problem eating veal or sweetbreads. I've never had bulls testicle but I'd give it a go, and I'd be happy enough to try even dog or...

There is no exclusivity here of course. By voting for a boiled egg that does not mean you don't like an omelette. Just vote for your favourite, or the one that you most like with a full English breakfast. Let us know how else you like to use egg in cooking. I myself love most ways to cook an...

The title is self explanatory of course. Been more than a year since the last wee one. Been more than 3 months since the UK meet. Lets have another one do chaps, any more of us in the Scot-Fi posse these days? Let the niggling commence. ----------edit------------ Seemed a good...

BBC NEWS | UK | Pratchett has Alzheimer's disease He was supposed to churn them out for my enjoyment for another 30 years. Hope he holds up well from now on.

According to MarkL in his sale thread in the FS forums, the JVC DX1K may be being discontinued. He doesn't actually mention any sources specifically, does anyone have any info on this? I didn't think that they've been around very long yet. Although I guess maybe they aren't selling many.

Linky What on earth is the purpose of this page, it contains, or certainly seems to contain, a mangled garbled excerpt of things I have written on this site. Welcome to the internet I guess.

Plugged in my old 3g ipod, hadnt used it since forever, wanted to check it was still working (to use in car or to sell) the very millisecond that i connected the firewire cable my PC spontaniously restarted, and now, all of my firefox favourites have vanished, gone lost. This is such a...

So how many other head-fiers have a love for Mr Oldfield? To kick off some discussion, what do you all think about Tubular Bells? Were you about when it was first released? Did you hear John Peel play it on the radio? Have you still got the LP laying in your attic, unplayed for years? How...

http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/enter...nt/7004174.stm Hurrah for the latest step in the loudness war, an extra large treble boost for iTunes download versions of songs!

They arnt even up on Goldrings webpage yet, but AVReview has a snippet about them. More competition for the PXC450 and Quietcomfort. Who's going to be the first with a pair?

There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless...

5:20 AM, BST (GMT +1) And tonight i was up to my knees in water moving floating wheelie bins out of the way of traffic while the worst rain I've seen in since I was 12 and in Florida during the monsoon poured down around me. Cold, wet, drunk, then in for a dram or four, gets close to...
