Two days ago when my wife took our daughter to school this abandoned kitten approached them. An elderly gentleman told her the kitten had been there for a few days and the kitten was dirty and hungry .... which immediately set of Lisa's motherly instincts. The kitten also turned out to be extremely personable so I soon got a call pleading to keep the cat. I normally would not hesitate as I like animals equally well, but we already have three dogs and three cats. In the end I relented .... and now we have Jet. She definitely is a cutie and she is also much smaller than she appears to be in the pictures. As the first picture suggests .... she is already my head-fi buddy…

Hope it's a great day, Chris!

Portland-based power metal band Tanagra is having a fire sale on all their recordings (they just put out an extremely well-received album) and merch following a trademark dispute filed against them by the Swiss audio company Nagra. This seems frivolous AF but what do I know? Can any bearded lawyer types like @Voltron weigh in on what would be involved in disputing the dispute? I have a hard time imagining that a judge would side with Nagra on this but it seems like the band has no interest in spending the cash to fight it. vs. Their press release: It's David vs Goliath!

So a friend of mine is trying to track down a painter. I tried doing an image search, but all I'm getting is a bunch of "oil painting with glare" type images, for obvious reasons. Anyone know how to get rid of the glare? Or perhaps they just know who the painter is.

How do they come up with their blue book values? Averaging the costs of what the items go for in the classified section? Is their blue book accurate?

Have an incredible day!

HAVE FIXED MY COMPUTER !! FINALLY, after going through a virus attack, losing a hard drive, fighting off hackers, upgrading all my software, installing firewalls, being threatened with being cut-off by my email provider, and a host of other problems... I have fixed my computer... and NOW it works exactly the way I want it to! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Lots of birthdays lately, but this one is yours. Happy Birthday! Hope you're having fun.

Happy belated birthday to my good buddy Mike! Wishing you plenty of great times with tunes, gears and lucks with the lady.

Hi everybody, I'm a "newbie" and just thought I'd say hello. My name is Floyd, Pink Floyd, but my friends call me Pinkie. I've been lurking here for quite some time and learning quite a lot about headphones and headphone amps from you guys I think it's now time to come out of the dark and into the light and I hope I'm welcome here. All the best. Pinkie

Happy birthdays!

So last week my vintage Mc2100 amp was shipped back from a recap, and when I hook it up the left channel doesn't play anything but some low-level hum noise. Subbing the Eico or Heathkit amps into the EXACT SAME setup works perfectly, so it must be the 2100, right? Wrong! Not 1 hour after dropping off the amp at the highly recommended local McAmp guy (that I found out about after the recap), I come to the striking realization: wait, didn't I have a bizarre channel-out problem with some interconnects and the AT-HA2002 a few years back? The center pin on the old-style HGA silver lace RCA Lok connectors was a bit too skinny, and for some reason wouldn't make internal conta…

I am told that such a board exists, but I have no access? Why?

I think this might be it. Network Error (tcp_error) A communication error occurred: "Connection refused" That's the last address that worked at work for head-fi. So uh...what's new here folks?

Bass player in the Spiders From Mars and long time member of Uriah Heep, dead at 62 of pancreatic cancer. Another person critical to my musical upbringing, Ziggy Stardust was one of the first albums I ever bought.

Where do you guys get your packing stuff? I don't have any from stuff I've gotten, which is what I normally use, and the post office is way too expensive for the tiny amount of stuff you get.

OK, that is really lame and stupid, but in the mess of favorites in ff I really should like to have a favicon for head.case

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great one Bryan!
