Really though, how many people actually still read Stereophile? I mean sure the subscription numbers are probably decent but that's only because they keep giving it away....

Yeah for some reason transformers get a bad rap, but good transformers sound a hell of a lot better than most things.

The 4-pin is likely for K1000s and/or balanced phones. Headroom kinda made the 2 x 3-pin xlr's standard for balanced phones but many people prefer the single 4pin xlr for that.

I can't see why anyone would still be using WEP. If you have a device that only works with WEP time to trash it or upgrade. WPA2 is the only thing worth running and pretty much everything made in the last 4-5 years should work fine with it. I didn't read this thread in detail by why didn't the OP just turn off the wireless on the d-link and only use the wireless on the airport? The thing I don't like about the airport (aside from it being an apple product ) is the lack of a web based config. It's stupid as hell that you need to install an app to set it up.

I did, though I can't really say I had any complaints about voice quality.

or just keep using Sync, Play & Send to BlackBerry, PSP, iPod, iPhone with doubleTwist

That's some very nice work there!

Can't say I've heard the Modwright Transporter but I was extremely happy with the Modwright 9100ES and Modwright SWL9.0 when I owned them.

1) I'd just set a budget and then pick a card from there, any card at the $150 range should be able to handle oblivion at your required resolution with everything maxxed no problems. Most GPU's come with some sort of power adapters (usually dual molex to 6 or 8-pin whatever the card requires). Also I wouldn't say the GPU's have outpaced CPU's at all. It's just that most games these days are only GPU intensive. To the point where honestly the CPU is barely used at all in some games. 2) The WD Caviar Black's with the 32megs of cache are very nice drives.

Since the other HF-2 thread has become quite a mess, figured it'd be a good idea to start a new one for people to post their impressions in.

Windows 7 hitting RTM/Gold status Monday. Hopefully it's up on MSDN shortly after...

It'd be nice if they actually told us something useful about it instead of pouring on the marketing speak.

yeah, he has them redirecting to head-fi at the moment. too bad would have been better had they been redirecting here instead

head-f1.net is available though, i should buy it and just redirect it here.

No 500 is how many cups that are made and is the cut-off point. So all HF-2's not counting the canjam 20 will have the engraving error.

Yeah if they were already built I'd agree its a tougher decision but it's pretty clear that the cups are just sitting in a big pile as they wait to be assembled. Again not surprising typical Grado bullshit. They better sound pretty darn good otherwise my pair will be going back.

I don't buy it all either, it's pretty simple really they had 500 made saw the error and didn't want to pay to get them re-done. Just figured they'd dump them on everyone and hope not too many people complain.

Shame that it won't be fixed, but really does it surprise anyone? And instead of giving an additional $10 per phone to HF why not refund that money back to everyone who bought a pair?

Happy Birthday Mike!
