  1. Omegas are good recommendation. Audition some ribbons speakers if you get a chance. They're not exactly my cup of tea but I agree they perform well, especially the well built ones like Usher or Selah. This would be a best bet if you were to go that route: SSR
  2. I think all your previous gear (Grados, horns) points to the fact that you would like Proac, Splendor, Triangle, Totem, Harbeth, maybe Tannoy. For the price, I'd choose Proac. For the best, I'd choose Harbeth.

    I'm sure this has been posted before but anyone care to try to explain this pic?
  4. Speak for Yourself is definitely the easiest to get into.
  5. First Train Home, Tidal, and Between Sheets are probably my favorites.
  6. How are you guys liking this?
  7. I don't think I'll be updating unless there is a large sonic difference. I have been looking forward to touchscreen since Sonos came out with it but am sorely disappointed that it is capacitive and on the unit itself. I would have snatched up a SB remote with touchscreen.
  8. that's such a piece of art! love the knobs. congrats!
  9. if you plan on filesharing between computers, i'd suggest a gigabit and N router. if the laptop doesn't have wireless N, i'd suggest sticking with a G router bc they tend to be more stable. i'd definitely try to find something that will run dd-wrt or tomato. Linksys and buffalo tends to be most reliable. as a college student with reasonable technical background, you probably don't need to pay the premium for an airport.
  10. it's a well known issue with FF. 3.5x seems better than 3.0x
  11. congrats tkam. It's something special.

    as talented as he is, i'm not sure even he can get back into that kind of condition that quickly.
  13. I like how Jeremy Clarkson makes even Gordon Ramsay look like a saint.

    eh, cinematography in Climb Dance was much better.
  15. Good to know. I'll have to remember that.
  16. I seem to remember that they broke up and some of them formed EML and that EML and AVVT tubes are very similar (esp. 300b which I assume you're looking for.)
  17. I really don't. because then i have to spend time to decode a message that's pretty much devoid of meaning.
  18. I'm sorry to hear about that. Losing a beloved pet is tough.

    Jay Leno will be on as a SIARPC. No idea which ep. Jay Leno's Garage
  20. Wow you guys are channeling me, it seems. tkam is right, just get someting in the price range. I have the 520HX and I don't seem to remember if it has 2 6pin plugs because most new video cards require 2. If you are concerned with power/noise, I'd recommend the GTS 250. Granted, it's not the most powerful but it'll run oblivion fine. If you want something better, I'd try GTX 260 or 4870. One thing to watch for is Dell's terrible cases. Air flow in those tend to be terrible and may have some issues with GPU overheating. For hard drives, if for file storage, I'd HIGHLY recommend the WD GP drives as Fungi said. They are dead silent, reliable, low power, and plenty fast for file archival. If you plan to run apps off it, look somewhere else. DO NOT look to Seagate or Maxtor. Seagate fell off the boat with the .10 HDs. edit: saw that you were doing raid0. Probably means that you will be running apps/games. Ignore my WD GP advice.
