  1. I'll probably be buying the black Stax Omega II to make the rounds at meets next year
  2. I may have been thinking of tinybiker....hirsch may be moderatored again
  3. You may not even be a moderator! have fun being a nobody again
  4. tyrion will do it
  5. I just did that, and will continue working on it
  6. I think it's on a boat now
  7. I have everything but only email addresses for about 40% of them
  8. Alex, I've noticed there are 2 methods to access a thread page, and if you can't find the google cache one way it may be the other there is the thread ID and page #, so at the end of the URL you usually have something like t=237623&page=10 or... p=326623 The latter seems to be a number given to every page in every thread. But I have no idea how to figure out what the page numbers are going to be for a thread. If you can figure it out you might then be able to get the cache
  9. blessingx, Here is what I have of that thread (although it won't contain edits to some posts but that's ok) Page 1, 3-17, 18 (partial), 20 (partial). There's at least 21 pages
  10. I'm sure he is...I also usually work my hardest when something needs fixing.
  11. Cache View lets you look up the page as cached by about 5 or 6 caching sites...although all of them useless except Google. But it is slightly easier than trying to google search for the page
  12. Download the Firefox cache plug-in....called Cache View. Get every cached page you can before it starts caching Error 404 pages
  13. I have a log of all the orders however for most of them I only have their Head-Fi names, which may no longer exist. I have email addresses for maybe 40% of them....so I have to get something on my website about this
  14. Jude has posted a video on facebook and an update If you're on facebook just search for Head-Fi, go to groups, and then the larger Head-Fi one, and you'll see the video --- THE POST --- This is the datacenter I've been living in with a couple of my workmates for the last several days, working with vendors and technicians from all over (Seattle, Australia, Michigan, California and Germany) to try to get our primary networked attached storage (NAS) unit to give us our data back. Unfortunately, things are not going well so far, everyone. The recovery efforts that we've been guided through have so far proved fruitless, but we will continue to work on it until we've exhausted every option to get it back. I have been asked by many to put the site back up as soon as possible. I have to see the most recent usable backup I have that wasn't on the NAS (we backed up to the NAS regularly), and it may be old--like mid-to-late 2006 old. I know, this is potentially absolutely tragic, in terms of potential registration--and, even more importantly, *content*--loss. I feel a great responsibility for the content we as a community created, and hope and pray that we'll get it all back with our continued efforts. But, for now, there are Meets planned, sales taking place, and vendors who count on Head-Fi as a marketplace, and I'm afraid that, for the moment, I'm left with no other choice but to put the site back up--in the form I currently can--while we continue with the data recovery efforts. It is something I haven't even wanted to consider, but, the longer this takes, the more I have to consider it. Again, the data recovery efforts continue, and, if we're successful (which we're still doing all we can to be), we will be able to get that all back. But without access to my regular backup directories, I have to use the best, most recent backup I can find away from that NAS, and we're looking at those choices now--none look anything close to ideal so far. If we do end up putting up an old version of Head-Fi.org up, here's to hoping that we're going back to the good old days only temporarily. Though this message and the video might seem light, one close look at our faces (which, to your good fortune, I've kept from you) would tell you that I am dying inside at the thought of the possibility of losing any of the content that we as a community created together. We're trying our best--we really are. And I know if we end up losing any of that data, there'll be a good number of you who'll be very upset about it, and understandably so. I've never taken the care of that content lightly, and I trusted that NAS (which is still quite new, and was configured for a high level of data safety) to hold our data soundly and safely, especially as we were in the midst of a transition to a nice clustering configuration for Head-Fi.org that we had bounced in and out of as we worked on it (you probably wouldn't have noticed when these changes came and went). Again, I'm hoping to goodness we can get all of our data back. It hasn't just affected this, my favorite hobby site, but also my businesses that had a lot of large, important databases housed on that NAS. I'm not exactly sure when we'll put what backup we have handy up, because we're just *swamped* right now. But we'll try to get that up in the next day or two, given how things have gone so far. Sincerely, Jude So if they don't get this fixed, we'll be back sometime in 2006. Well I'm pretty fucked, who else? Fucked as in probably half or more of those on the Pico pre-order list weren't members in 2006, and I have $40k of parts sitting here. Oops!
  15. Serial numbers are serious business
  16. Are the cups plastic or are they still metal?
  17. What about the "new contoured earpads"?
  18. bagel with egg & bacon, orange juice
  19. I have 2 dads! Billy, he did, remember the story that came out of it?
  20. - you can buy it as just an amp. the dac is optional - both versions have an analog input on the front
  21. remasters can usually be called "new louder version"
  22. I have a new knob concept that I think is what I want....but I want to take it to a vote here. It keeps the flat edge that can be gripped from the front, but looks more like a conventional round knob Original New!!1!
  23. I think it's a bit more than $50. I'm a 24 y/o male with no history of anything and it's about $120 a month for what's considered good coverage for someone self-employed. Hard to be lower risk than that
  24. I like Head-Case and I'm glad it exists....so does Tyll (HeadRoom). I get to post stuff here about new products that couldn't or shouldn't be put on Head-Fi even with a paid thread, and the feedback is always civil and valuable. So I don't think it's "2nd rate" at all. There are little things here you won't find on other forums. For every big hobby (cars, computers) there are hundreds of big forums. I think there's room for headphones to have at least two successful forums, right?
