I am trying to pay for something and I enter the persons email address and then it red it says Email Address: Please enter a valid address in the format [email protected]. Ok this happened to me 3 days ago with someone else who also has a valid email address and after 2 days of trying it magically went through (this person is a verified member of paypal). Now it is happening again and customer service is no help. Any thoughts? Should I ask the person to request the money from me? the person I am buying from sent me another address to use and that did not work either!

As you know, I'm banned from headfi for another 9 days. However I'm in the middle of writing up a mini-review & impressions of some speakers I've heard lately, and I need to pull up some of the posts I've written on head-fi. The google search doesn't pull up the posts I need. Here's what I need. I've posted impressions of the Dynaudio Audience 72SE, the Sonus Faber Concerto, and the B&W 804, most of it is in a thread started by mulveling in the cable forum on head-fi, with a few bits scattered around various other threads. I intend to expand on those posts, add in the impressions of the new speakers I've heard, and put it up as a new post in our speaker forum. …

Hey y'all! I have a conference in Denver in May this year, and before I hit the Googlenetweb I just had a couple of quick questions of you folks since I know many of you live in or have visited the city...... Is Colorado worth hanging around in for a holiday at that time of year? Any broad hotel recommendations near the Colorado Convention Centre and/or nightlife areas? Thanks!

Hope you didn't have too much Remy last night and that you are feeling chipper for your big day! Happy listening! Cheers

I wish you have a great birthday. Enjoy and have fun

Have an incredible day young man!

I believe this was a thread started in 2006 or 2007 (on Head-Case with the old forum software). And I'm pretty sure 909 started it- it was asking about potentiometer replacements for a Moth amp. There were a a lot of suggestions in that thread, which then went off topic with marijuana jokes. Does anyone remember this thread? I've used every possible search string I could think of and I still can't find it. Admins- any way of checking if it was deleted by accident? edit: I suppose the real thing I wanted out of that thread was where I could buy an ALPS RK40 from. I think someone posted a link to a German seller that had them.

Almost missed this one. Have a fantastic Birthday Marc! I remember when your first child was born. And you were the first person in this forum that I came out to in person. We've built some amazing projects together, and I consider you and your family among my closest friends!

I need to get a handle on my family's spending so I have started looking at software to help with budgeting and tracking spending. The 2 that I am looking at: Mint is web based and looks like it might be OK. YNAB You Need a Budget is a software program that looks good as well. Anyone have experience with either of these? Any other recommendations?

Gary Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day, for those that visited Florida in Mike's meet heyday will remember Gary.

As much as this information I"m about to give you will elevate me to status that few people reach in their lifetime. I must insist that you refrain from being the groupies that you are and not rush up to me and ask me for any autographs or any such triviality for I just haven't the time to attend to the millions of star struck fans just like yourselves. Having the status that I now have is a terrible burden with already too much responsibility, I don't need the added stress of being pummeled by adoring fans seeking fame by proxy. I just haven't the time. So what is it you ask that has elevated me to such a lofty hight? It is simple. I just posted my first for sale ite…

Haven't seen a movie in a while where the movie just grabs your attention and holds on to it the entire time. Aside from a rather drawn out scene towards the end the entire movie was excellent. And for those of you that really dislike subtitles, they're all single line and very easy to follow.

Have a fantastic day!

Since Head-Case has of late begun its own DIY cable gallery, I'd like to discuss what I think is appropriate for such a gallery. Given that the Head-Fi DIY cable gallery has been used for commercial promotion by certain members (see the Ruh Roh thread), it would be nice if we could avoid that fate here. For example, posting glamour shots of cables for the purposes of attracting offers to buy is in my opinion not right. The DIY forum exists to help people build components which they could otherwise buy and promote the hobby of doing the same. At the same time, people should be encouraged to go into business if they're interested, since doing so fosters competition and ther…

Given the number of What are you *ing, Now? posts/threads, is Head Case the new Twitter? Discuss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter Is someone who posts on Twitter a twit?

Have a phenomenal 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.
