  1. hah, those are the exact same bookshelves i just got :)

     

    no mention of any cd dividers on the sg site though -maybe i can order from aus if they're not too heavy ...

     

    I think I seen them at the store before. Keep a look out for them next time or ask about it. I was considering this before but I think the CD divider is just a platform/box to create another level and shorten the depth of the shelf to fit CDs. So I think its a waste of space to have that empty platform there.

     

    I now use 2 X http://cebas.ikea.com.au/prod_template4.as...1006&Cat=&Scat= but I need at least 2 more to store all my CDs. :blush:


  2. Nice cue there! :)) Enjoi~!

    It's harder to play with the new cue? Lol! For pool cues, they are usually easier to use than market ones. :D

     

    Thanks. :)) In terms of the 'hit and feel' of the cue ball and ball control, this cue is very much better. It is more difficult to use because of the specs like tip size and weight that I've chosen. Smaller tip will be more 'unstable' forcing you to concentrate on your cueing and feathering but it generates much more spin. Lighter cue will be also more difficult to feather and your stroke must be really good but it gives more control in the shorter range shots. Heavier cue will be easier for long distance and will be easier to hit hard shots.

     

    I believe Predator's cues features smaller tip as well, 12.5mm as oposed to the usual pool standard of 13-15mm. Snooker ranges from 9mm to 10mm. I used to use 9.7mm which I always find too big for me, so I got this in 9.4mm, which I prefer but since I've gotten so used to the old 9.7mm, it was a little struggle at first but I feel good after that. I now only need to change my tip to a softer one.


  3. Still cannot decide on the motto?

     

    How about:

     

    sgHeadphones.net

    Where music matters

     

    Borrowed from Marantz's 'Because music matters' :blush:

     

    I like Zeph's designs and I'll add some words like the one suggested above and our user nick on the right sleeve in smaller print.

     

    Similar to above design, but with URL placed higher up for backpackers:

  4. I finally got my cue today. :D Was cueless for 2 weeks, very uneasy and lost a lot of games. The cue I got was a more difficult one to manage/play. Smaller tip and lighter but it will force me to improve my stroke and cueing plus generating more spin and cue control. Played with it just now and it was a great experience. No regrets changing cue to this one.

     

    Tip: 9.4mm

    Weight: 17.5Oz

    Length: 57inches

     

    Here are some pics that I hastly taken. Not so nice I'm afraid but surely nicer then those manufacturer's pics.

  5. Hmm......I don't see this in their site but ety not only makes earphones for music playback. They also make some weird products like this:

     

    http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/compmic.aspx

    http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er22.aspx

     

    To a company like Ety or Westone, when it comes to ear products, they'll sure make them. Just look at the Etycom, really weirdd with its mic design this way. Like a tele-operator. :lol:


  6. J. Terry and W. Brown didn't play and Saha was a sub. 3 players = 1pt! What a bummer! Plus I choose wrong captain again. :P At last, Portsmouth was beaten. No more clean sheet for them. Dunno will they bounce back or not. Yesterday's game was the match of the bungs managers. :D

     

    Top 3 scorers of week 6:

    1. 17FC - 73

    2. Gunner Fc - 69

    3. Ballack of the World - 55

     

    17FC and Gunner Fc scored an amazing 73 and 69 pts respectively! :shocking:

     

    Top 3 in the league after week 6:

  7. Thanks afbug.

    U know, the knob on the PINT looks so good compared to the Go-Vibes.

     

    erm....the knob on the V3 is the same one. All the same knob except the V5 in the middle. I also like the V5 knob but I dunno where to get in SG. I'll have to ask the builder of the Go-Vibe where he get them or sell me some replacement. :P

     

    Nice shiny pot on the right side amp Master Bug o_O

     

    Where to buy arz? Does SLT carry it?

     

    SLT not sure but I got from Farnell online. Black one about $3 and the silver one cost $5. :shocking: Both are the same except colour!


  8. Can we get Maha 9V 300mAh Rechargeable Battery & ACCUPOWER 9V 270 mAh NiMH Rechargeable Battery at local ?? If not I'm planning to get from Thomas Distributing via VpostUS to S'pore.

  10. How about this? Really a traditionalist design though. :P

     

    Front:

    IPB Image

     

    Back:

    IPB Image

     

    aaron-xp, I like your design. White and grey makes it very ipodish. :P You should reduce the font size for the web link and add brackets: ((((((Listen up)))))))

     

    The front: sgHeadphones is a little too big and I prefer it on the left chest and add our forum nicks on the right sleeve to make the tee more personal. If you wear it to meets, it can serve as a form of ID too.

     

    I think brand names and headphone designs should not be included. Don't want to get into trouble with some copyright laws.


  11. I think a logo or words on the left chest is nice with a design at the back. I suggest printing our nick in smaller font/size on the right sleeve too. :)) The weblink can be printed on the rear of the coller.

     

    Why not design a logo? I thought of this sometime back. I suggest 'the word SG' wearing a headphone with the 'word Headphones' below it?

     

    I think should have black and white colours. I prefer black.

     


  12.  

    And where got sell casing and how much??

     

    The Hammond metal case can be bought from Farnell online. Part number: 1455C802 and the silver one cost $17. Black will cost more, about $20. Got 2 versions with 2 colours (Black/silver); Metal end panels or plastic end panels. Metal end panels version will cost about $2-3 more.

    The silver one is plastic end panel and the black one is metal end panel. The one in the middle is the plastic Hammond case that heady is using.

     

     


  13. You are good in playing this game..

    You lost approx 20+ pts to transfers but still win so many people... :rclxms:

     

    No la. Not good at this game. This game is all about luck, predictions and a little understanding on player foam. Once you get lucky and your predictions correct, you'll win lots of pts. For eg, I noticed that Newcastle have 2 games last gameweek. So I dump Bobby Zamora and got O. Martins and hope he will score. I figuered that -4pts (I already used one free transfer on Ben Hiam) and he will play both games = +4pts, I'll break even and hope he will score. Its so lucky that he did score last Sunday.

     

    I swap W.Bridge for Ben Hiam. I got Bridge for 4.5 and sold for 4.7 (His value was 5) so I earned 0.2. I also got Zamora for cheap and his value increased. I think Alan Pardew lost his way after West Ham signed those Argies, too many strikers so, I got rid of Zamora for a 0.2 profit.

     

    I got Saha for 9.5. Now his value is super high. I dunno should I sell him for a profit? :unsure: I also regret not buying S. Campbell. His orginal value was 5, and now he cost 5.7. :shocking: I thought Portsmouth will not keep any cleansheet 2 games back but........now they're EPL leaders! :shocking:

     

    If you sell players for a profit, you will see that your team value + balance in the bank will be more than your given 100M at the beginning of the season. So you got more spending power.


  14. UE have their own clear version of the Super.Fi series too.. wonder what's the purpose of rebranding it?

     

    Its rebranding or partnership like Ety and Altec? The only reason I see for UE if they rebrand their super.fi models is that they want the brand UE to be focused on the customs/pro market.

     

    lol IE=Incredible Ears. :lol:


  15. i'm dropping :helpsmilie:

     

    guess what, noob me didn't realise there's one free transfer every gameweek. just made 3 vital transfers, which means 8 pts deducted :cry:

     

    Yup, got one free transfer per gameweek, not actual week. There are times where there are 2 gameweek in one actual week. Additional transfer will cost 4pts per player. But this season, you're given a transfer wildcard. It can be used if you want to overhaul your team and will not cost any pts.

     

    BTW, I already lost approx 20+ pts to transfers liao. :lol: All done in the 1st few weeks and I also used my wildcard. :blush:

  16. I just bought the "Replay - Hits of 80s"

     

    and im totally blown away by it! Superb 80s music!

     

    Anyone to recommend me anything else?

     

    I will not consider Queen 'retro' as I consider them as Classic Rock. Not so disco and dancey music. You should check out their greatest hits vol 1 & 2. All their hits are there and they got lots of nice songs.

     

    For dance music, Pet Shop Boys got lots of hits. You should buy their grestest hits or discography albums too. Belinda Carlisle, Kylie Minogue, Duran Duran, Modern Talking and Depache Mode have a number of nice songs too. Too many to list from these artistes!
