Great idea, I was going to buy a phone headset anyway.

I have the WRT54GS (basically the same router, apparently the "speedbooster" is nonsense), seems to work ok so far. I'd like to get a headset, I used to love ventrilo when I played WoW all the time.

btw, do y'all use bluetooth headsets?

my linksys router seems to work pretty well. when I was setting it up, I seem to remember reading somewhere on the linksys website about an intermittent drop out issue. anywho, here is the link to the FAQ on the linksys forums: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread.id=2243 might help, might not.

so I played two multiplayer games last night, and I am horrible. Finished dead last both times. I've never been any good at first person shooters, but I'd like to at least NOT finish dead last in a multiplayer match. Here's hoping the singleplayer campaign will give me some more practice.

i'm not a big VTA guy. I just keep mine at zero and am pretty happy. if a disc is a bit too thick, it just makes the sound a bit warmer, which is fine by me. after a year of practice on the technics, setting up a cart perfect is just a cinch now. it was a steeeeeep learning curve, and the 1200 is a very forgiving and user friendly table, as far as tables go anyway, but i've got it now, no problem. definitely helps to have an arc protractor made for your tonearm.

also, while the RS-1 is slightly more resolving, the HF-1 has less of an upper midrange hump. I imagine this is why grawk & others prefer the HF-1 to the RS-1.

SE, HF-1 has more bass, RS-1 has more space.

sweet! welcome to team there is no stax mafia.

PS3 40GB, Oblivion, COD4. The system was a snap to setup, been playing a couple hours already. That introductory mission in COD4 is intense!

sure, i might see you as soon as this afternoon.

[me=postjack]scrambles around frantically to try and confirm if he did indeed buy super rare Grado phone[/me] Nah, the PH-1 is just the Grado Phono Stage. :'( You're thinking of the PF-1, methinks.

linksys wrt54gs

Thanks Chek, I hate antialiasing jaggies. Having said that, right now I'm leaning towards just getting the 40gig and using the $100 savings to buy COD4 and Oblivion. I might be fooling myself thinking that I'd actually play any PS2 games. My gaming time is limited to begin with. \ To the OP, I just bought a Linksys WRT54GS. As a positive side effect, I finally got the Ethernet working on my computer. Up until now, I was running the cable modem off of USB. Now I've freed up a slot and possibly sped up my internet connection. And I owe it all to headcase! Well actually not really, but it sounded like a nice thing to say.

Well, I haven't bought the PS3 yet, but I probably still will, since we know its a good Blu-Ray player, and all we know about the Xbox Blu Ray addon drive is that tkam said it is coming out in a few months.

Interesting!

Sure, but just because there isn't a rule against it here doesn't make it any less worthless of a discussion. Nice dog picture!

Yay grawk!

i'm sorry, who's the horse lady again? i need to listen to that.

I would kill a fool for his OII. Screw <$500, thats free motherfucker.

good point j-bone. there are plenty of 60gb available on eBay, but I'm stressing over sketchy ebay sellers and lack of support if I run into any issues. i could just get a PS2 on the cheap if I found I really wanted to play some PS2 games badly, which might not even happen.
