From Google to Head-fi and now Head-Case. Been reading Head-Case more and more often, seeing how "corrupted" Head-fi is slowly becoming.

We haven't forgotten and it still hurts, but we miss you dearly and hope you're somewhere brewing beer and listening to great gear.

Have a good one Julian. Are you still thinking about making it up north for the August 8 meet? If so, I'll buy you a beer. Cheers!

I got the Airmotiv 4 today and they sound great. They are also so small! However, I have a safety concern that I wanted to ask about. First, they are not grounded but have a metal plate in back. This concerns me - seems dangerous. I know there is a lot of electronic equipment that is not grounded but I would guess that having the metal in back and using high voltage (I assume it is high voltage) would require a ground. It uses a 3 prong cord but there is no connection to the ground. Here is a picture of the IEC inlet. Second (and this is the weird thing), the manual clearly says the following. Why would they say that if the ground was connected to …

Have a great one Wayne! Cheers!

Did anyone else feel that Crash wasn't really the best film of 2005. I thought that at least one of the other 4 were better than Crash. Oh well, at least Philip Seymour Hoffman won an Oscar for Capote...he was brilliant.....IMHO of course

Currently, I'm driving a '91 Honda Accord with about 120,000 miles. It's in wonderful condition...but it has no AC. Now, living in Pittsburgh this wouldn't be a problem, but now I'm in Houston. Before moving down here I thought I'd be able to tough it out until the end of the year, but my sweaty balls are begging for a new car now. Originally I wanted to buy a lightly used car, but now I'm starting to get interested in leasing a brand new one. Given I live 3 miles from my office, restaurants, stores, banks, etc I won't have a problem staying under 12,000 miles a year. Plus, I get the added benefit of having a new car and the assistence of some maintainence. However, I'…

Great movie. I can't think of any reason why anyone shouldn't see this flick. It took me a little while to see it, because when it was first recommended to me it was called a "dark comedy". And while in general I like "dark comedy", sometimes I find the term "dark comedy" actually means "boring" and "not funny" (think Death To Smoochy). Lots of fantastic acting, from the oldest actor (heroin using grandpa played by the always kick ass Alan Arkin) to the youngest actor (little girl, character named Olive), the characters are all real and engaging. Also starring Greg Kinnear and Steve Carrell, who continues to impress me with his incredible talent range. He'll snatch a B…

Got to drive a restored 1967 GT500 KR years ago. I can at least say I've driven one. One day I'll either build a Cobra or a Cobra Daytona... Source

Have a wonderful day!

I know you don't come around much anymore, but you're still one of my favorite HCers. Happy 38th Birthday Ryan! You're missed around here buddy! I hope that your life is moving in the direction you choose.

Just sick I tell you! Anything to make a dollar... (click photos for super-size you sick bastards!) Even with instructions and a "serving suggestion" p.s. Just in case anyone is wondering: Yes, that is my back door in the photos. admin edit: thread title change

Hope you had a fantastic day!

I told the wife I just have to have a Harley Soft Tail. Ed across the street just got one and Bob on the side street just got a Kawasickie. And Mo, down the street just got a Miata. Dear, I need to save face here. The man who dies with the most toys WINS. Ya know? She said "NO". You got ten bad discs in your back and bad hips and knee joints plus at your age you don't belong on a bike. Then she said your John Deere riding lawnmower (RX75 rear engine rider) is 17 years old. Why don't you just get a nifty new lawn mower instead? Doesn't that count as a "Nifty boy toy". I said get rid of my John Deere, oh Lord no. She said "just get a new John Deere, a bigger one or somethi…

I liked Paul Newman as an actor, but most for his generosity when giving from his food business. It was estimated that his food business generated close to 90 million or possibly more for various charities and causes. He will be dearly missed.

Whats the best sound card for under 20$? Thanks, Peter.

Some friends from Paris are staying in Miami over Christmas and I would like to give them a few restaurant and entertainment suggestions. They are a family of 4 with teenage kids who are 16 and 18 or so. They are also going to Key West, so let me know if you have good ideas for that locale as well. Thanks in advance.

so what is it !?!?? pretzels live on.

Happy Birthday Stephen, hope it's a great one!

Happy Father's Day to all the pop casers and pops of casers! Woo!

Have an incredible day!

Happy Birthday Peter! Have a great day!
