ReviewI very much like everything about the car except the steering.
Best FeaturesStyle, Electronics and the ride. I don't find it harsh compared to other cars I've had. The economy is great mixed driving about 27 mpg. The four cylinder engine is incredible. Sounds good and plenty of power.
Worst FeaturesThe car wanders all over the road. The dealer said everything was okay but replaced the car anyway. Good dealer. The replacement is only marginally better. I hope they get it right as I have a four year lease.

I am considering purchase of this vehicle but now I wonder if this is a mistake due to the comments on the steering issues. When I heard that Hyundai designed this suv with electric steering rather than the tried and true hydraulic system I had a bad feeling about this vehicle. I believe the steering issues you are experiencing are due to the electric steering which I heard will not return to center the way conventional steering does. If this is the case there may not be a fix for this as it would be considered normal for this design. Ask your dealer mechanics about this, I would be interested in they're response.Report it

I purchased my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4 AWD in May of this year. The first thing I did was take it on a 1600 mile round trip to Branson Missouri. I did not experience any issues with the steering and was shocked by the complaints I have been reading on this site. We now have 5000 miles and absolutely love this SUV so far. I also have a MX-5 Mazda Miata and they are both fun to drive. The Santa Fe turns on a dime and is very quite inside. This was my 51st automobile and one of my favorite. Mine is a AWD, maybe that makes a difference.Report it

Based on the above comments and my overall interest in this car, I test drove a Santa Fe 2.0T this weekend. I didn't experience any wandering, either on the highway or off. I experimented with the three different steering styles (Sport, Comfort, and Normal) and didn't really notice any difference so I can't comment much on those yet. But definitely no wandering. I will say that the car is very comfortable, and pretty darn quiet. I was impressed with the options that come standard on the model, such as power seats. And apparently the standard 5-year bumper-to-bumper warranty can be upgraded to a 10-year, per the salesman. That's a lot of coverage for a pretty nice car. Most impressive was the pep you get from the turbo 4 engine. Ample power for ample highway acceleration thanks to it being a pretty light vehicle. I had no trouble navigating the highway traffic. I did a bit of research into how Hyundai was able to trim so much weight off of their cars while still maintaining safety standards and features. According to the company's website it invested $12 billion into a steel plant to make its own new metals. Whatever they did, it definitely feels like a powerful and sturdy car. I was hoping it wouldn't ride like a tin can, and I was pleased with the results of the test drive. For what that's worth.Report it

I just bought the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4 FWD as others. As soon as I drove it home I experienced the same wandering problems other have reported. I had a similar problem with my 2011 Hyundai Sonata. However, there was a recall for the Sonata for this same exact problem, which fixed the problem with that car. Maybe they have not learned from their mistakes. Maybe, the engineers need to research the fix they developed for the Sonata, and apply it to the Santa Fe.Report it

Do not buy this car. I bought a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4 FWD. It too wanders all over the road. Dealer has now had it five times and cannot fix it. Last attempt was a computer software upgrade from 1.05 to 1.06. This gave me more free play at the center position but it still wanders. They will not work on it again so I have filed the defects report with the atty gen for the state of Florida. CarleReport it

I bought one too and have the same issues with the car wandering all over the road. It's simply not safe to drive especially on the highway. Hyundai needs to figure this out quickly before someone is injured or worse.Report it

jjohn5, The type of steering assist has nothing to do with the steering returning to a neutral position and wandering off course. Those characteristics are determined by a suspension's geometry and car's weight distribution. It is a game of balance between steering responsiveness and precision vs course stability. I have another car with the electric steering, it has no issues whatsoever with stability. Hydraulic is on its way out, like carburetors and magneto ignition.Report it

Just got back from the Hyundai dealer. After reading these posts several times I figured I would test drive a 2.4 AWD myself. Before I drove the car I took an air pressure reading of 38lbs. The door sticker has all 4 tires at a pressure of 33lbs. I definitely experienced what several of the posts were talking about. The car had some wandering in the lane. Upon returning to the dealership I lowered the pressure to 33lbs all around and took the car out again. My opinion is that the car drove as well as any other car I've had and experienced no lane wandering. My best advise would be to test drive the 2013 Santa Fe yourself and make sure you check the air pressure before you leave the lot.Report it

EPS Systems, (Electric Power Steering) are here to stay. Early BMW's with EPS had problems too and BMW resolved them, (according to a BMW owner friend). Hyundai can do the same thing - eventually. The steering wheel returning to center after a turn is a function of front end suspension geometry and an easy fix. I do not believe it has anything to do with the EPS system, but i may be wrong since I don't know the Santa Fe Sport specifically. I think Hyundai will get it right, hopefully during this model year. And, yes, there is a lot on the Internet regarding EPS.Report it

I am looking into buying one of these cars too. For those of you who are experiencing steering problems can you tell me if your vehicle is FWD or AWD? Also do you have the 2.4 or the 2.0T engine? This new steering system is that something that is standard on all new Santa Fes or it is part of a package that you can choose? Thank you!Report it

The tire inflation was at the recommended 33# in my car. The steering is precise but the cars wanders like crazy at highway speeds. On a flat, straight road at 65 mph with a breeze or cars passing, without steering input the car would be in the ditch within 4 or 6 seconds. At a minimum it fluctuates from one line to the other without any steering input. I don't know if its the tires, the alignment, the steering system or the aerodynamic shape of the car, I just want it fixed. None of the three different steering styles help the problem. If you use the comfort setting at highway speeds you will tend to over correct for the wandering. I pretty much use "normal". PS I tend to doubt the opinion of a guy that "based on comments" takes the time to test drive and then write a full write up on a car that looks like it was written from Hyundai Motor corp.Report it

karaya, I don't disagree that there are other factors involved but ruling out the electric steering as you seem to do does not make sense to me; if you spend some time reading Edmunds forum and others or just google "electric steering problems" you will see that it is a pervasive problem involving different car makes and models. If you were fortunate enough to get a vehicle w/ electric steering that has no issues good for you. My brother was not so fortunate. G.M. has a pending lawsuit against a subsidiary of Toyota (JTEKT)a manufacturer of elec. steering. The evolution of this newer technology is not like fuel injection vs carburetors because there is little margin for error when it comes to steering. BTW the comment I made about the steering not returning to center was borrowed from a Hyundai Technician (for 11 years) who posted this on another forum and also stated that steering issues are now the repair shops most common complaint.Report it

It turns out most of my problem with the vehicle wandering all over the road had to do with the tires being over inflated by more than 20 lbs. The dealer failed to prep the car properly. Apparently when they are originally shipped, they over inflate to avoid the tires from getting flat spots when they are sitting around. The Sante Fe handles vastly better with the proper tire inflation as you would expect. Went to a second dealer and they figured it out quickly. Still need to get used to the electronic steering assist, as it is different from what I'm used to. It doesn't go back to center on it's own so you need to provide inputs to get it going staight down the highway. You need to make sure you drive it at real highway speeds for more than 10 minutes or so to get a feel for the difference.Report it

THOUSANDS gathered in High Wycombe today for the funeral of two young brothers who died in a car crash on the M6 on Christmas Day.
Adnan Habib, 10, and Mohammed Arsalaan Habib, four, were killed along with their aunt Bushra Tazarib, 32, close to junction 15, near Stoke-on-Trent.
The family had been on their way to a wedding in the Manchester area when the accident happened.
The three bodies lay in rest at the Castlefield Centre, in Rutland Road this morning, where family, friends and community members paid their respects.
More than 2,000 mourners were estimated to be in attendance at the Mosque, with many spilling outside the building to say their prayers in the rain.
Among those attending was boxer Amir Khan, who had been at the wedding the family was travelling to when the accident happened.
Earlier this he tweeted: "In Wycombe for the funeral of 2 young kids + aunty who died in a car crash on way to a cousin's wedding last week. Condolences to the family."
Coaches and taxis arrived with mourners from the north of the country, including Manchester, and crowds watched as the coffins, covered in embroidered drapes, were carried inside.
Floral tributes were also brought, which read "Adnan", "Arsalaan" and "sister".
A private burial service for the two boys took place this afternoon.
Bushra's body is to be taken to Pakistan for burial.

Max Audio: HeadRoom's Desktop Millett Hybrid Amp
and Desktop Power Supply, & Grado's 325i Headphones, with Some Reflections on Tubes vs. Solid State
HeadRoom's Desktop headphone amp has sound that is drop-dead gorgeous as I had hoped, and it is something I've been waiting for ...for a long time. I'll spend the rest of this little essay telling you how it sounds to me, why I think it sounds that way, and why I'm nominating it for my prestigious Max Dudious "Product of the Year" award. (Better late than never.) But first, some words about the 'phones I'm listening to most of all these days: Grado's model 325i.
Grado's 325i
When I asked John Grado what the i stood for regarding his new headphones, he got coy with me. "Guess!" he said. After I tried some silly i-words that came to mind (inimitable, invincible, irresistible, ineffable, insouciant, and incrementally innovative), I could hear his tongue practically pushing through his cheek. Finally, when I laughed that I'd had enough of the game, I coaxed him to tell me. "Improved," he said. If you've never heard the sound of one hand clapping, you should hear me slap my forehead sometime. Set myself up for that one. Duh.
And improved they are. I used to think they were "hot," in their previous incarnation, as model 325. Improved, they are not hot. I used to think they were too analytical with their rising high end. Improved, their high-end stays where I think "flat" is supposed to be, and they are not overly analytical. Improved, they seem neither bright nor brash, grumpy nor sneezy; nor doc: they seem without any common coloration, yet they still have the liquid midrange, the rock-solid bass, and (perhaps above all) what TAS's Dan Schwartz calls "hear-through-the-veils transparency" that characterizes most all of the Grado line. The improved 325i's tonal balance is much more like the Sennheiser 650s, yet with those qualities of presentation that have come to be known as "the Grado sound." I have noticed some of the magazines that cater to the recording studio sub-industry have touted the 325i as a must-have for recording engineers (good audio engineering). They are also tough enough to withstand some studio abuse, with their aluminum shielded ear cups (good product engineering).
In short, I feel the Grado model 325i headphones sound very detailed (without having a presence peak); more than most other quality headphones, they exhibit flatter frequency response and still retain their big bass, their voice-friendly midrange, and their silky highs. In addition, they have retained their relatively low (32 ohm) impedance and their relatively high (98dB) output efficiency for one milli-volt, so they are compatible with everything from the lowliest walkaround CD player to the highest priced tubed headphone amp. And, with swiveling ear cups, they travel well. If I were designing a pair of headphones, and I were trying to decide on my design goals, I think I would have chosen just those that John Grado and his gang have chosen. And that is why I have conducted all my recent listening tests through them. Due to their superior product-design, portability, and sonic performance, I hereby nominate the Grado 325i to Max Dudious's vastly prestigious "Product of the Year" list. (Actually, my 2006 list. I was always late with term papers.)
Some Prefatory Opinions
Interestingly, I still have around the lab the HeadRoom Micro-Stack that I recently reviewed, so I could A/B compare the transistorized Micro-Amp to the tubed Millett Amp. But before I get into that, I'd like to explore the notions usually cited as the defining characteristics of "tubed sound" and "transistorized sound." With regard to larger amplifiers, it is usually the case that tubed amps have a "damping factor" between single digits and, say, twenty to thirty; while transistorized amps can have "damping factor" computed in the hundreds. I think I remember one amp's advertising campaign claiming a "damping factor" of 1000. We might say, and not be too far off, that transistorized amps have damping factor nearly an order of magnitude stronger than tubed amps, and in some cases two orders. For our purposes damping factor might be defined as being analogous to braking horsepower, or the grip the amplifier has on the drivers, or a measure of how quickly the amplifier stops the drivers from "ringing" after the a pulse signal stops.
Tubes vs. Transistors, yet again
When coupled to a high-resolution set of headphones the differences between a tubed amp and a transistorized amp are readily apparent. Headphones demonstrate these differences in damping very aptly, better than, say, a pair of high class loudspeakers, in a good system, in a room with all its inherent echo and reverb, nodal points and cancellation problems. Moreover, loudspeakers typically have multiple drivers, crossover networks, and all the phase and gain problems therewith associated, while a headphone usually acts as a single-driver point-source, with no crossover, and with none of its attendant problems. HeadRoom's Tyll Hertsens says (and I'm paraphrasing a telephone conversation here), headphones, with only a few cc's of air between the driver and the ear, are the cutting edge of audio resolution, the best you can get from the industry, even though they obviously can't deliver the tactile zotz in the chest that a large scale system can deliver at full blast. I agree. If you want to hear what the music is doing, or what other pieces in your system are doing, or even what a pair of 18" interconnects are doing, you can't beat headphones. If you want to hear an approximation of an orchestra in a symphony hall, or a rock concert in a ballpark, you can't beat a big rig.
Acoustic vs. Electric surprise
Now, consider the differences between an acoustic bass and an electric bass. With a stand up, wooden, acoustic bass we hear the plucking sound (or attack), the sustained pitch with all the harmonic (woody) overtones that characterize such an instrument, and the decay to eventual silence. These three features – attack, sustain, and decay—exist in the sound of an electric, say, Fender bass as well. Without any of the various pedals that produce electronic artifacts, such as wah-wah, fuzz-tone, echo, or reverb, there is the attack that can be achieved with a finger or a plastic pick. The attack of an electric bass is distinctly different than plucking an acoustic bass. For one thing, the shorter vibrating string on a Fender bass doesn't have as long a sustain as that of a free string on an acoustic bass. The result is, the rise of the attack, and the diminuendo of the decay are both faster on an electric bass. These two physical characteristics make for noticeably different sonic characteristics when comparing two such instruments. With an amplified Fender bass you get a "thump" of a particular frequency, say an A at 55Hz. With an unamplified acoustic bass, you get a textured, woody A at the same 55Hz, but with audibly different attack, sustain, and decay ratios. These three defining sonic fingerprints are what differentiate a bass viol, a contra bassoon, a tuba, and a kettle drum (tympani) from each other when playing the same note, A at 55Hz.
The plank of solid wood into which an electronic pickup is usually imbedded doesn't resonate, so what we hear from an electric bass is largely the fundamental tone. In contrast, the typical acoustic bass has a deep, rich, and textured sound, and we hear the pluck, the fundamental tone, its harmonic overtones, its long sustain, and it's more gradual decay. So the basic sound and the sustain of each of these instruments differ. Finally, since everything about an acoustic bass is designed to resonate, and everything about most electric basses is designed so only the strings vibrate into the pickup, the decay of the two instruments is likewise different. In short, the electric bass was designed to make low frequencies, and it does that much differently than its cousin the acoustic bass. They are different, and they sound differently.
Damping, under and over
Furthermore, when we listen to music played back through a transistorized amplifier, the damping factor of the amplifier takes away from the sustain, so the decay is even quicker. Consequently, the transistorized amp (some with fierce damping) exaggerates the characteristics of the electric bass. Similarly, but to a lesser extent, it does the same with an acoustic bass. The tubed amp (with its relaxed damping) captures the characteristics of the acoustic bass better. Ironically, through all but the very best transistorized amps it becomes harder and harder to tell the difference between the two basses, acoustic or electric. The higher damping factor of transistorized amps also has this effect on tympani and bass drums. The decay just doesn't seem to be as long as it is when played through a tubed amp, and the textures through tubes become clearer making the tympani and bass drum more easily identifiable. Additionally, tubed circuits seem to have an easier time swinging a lot of volts (have greater headroom) on dynamic passages, while typical transistorized circuits don't do as well. The dynamics of the two instruments are reproduced similarly through average transistorized gear. Sadly, a handful of instruments often sound pretty similar through average quality transistorized amps at the same pitch and volume. If they did a better job differentiating the same note played by different instruments, AM-FM stereo receivers would be great value for money.
Then there is engineer induced echo and reverb. Sometimes, while listening to classical pieces such as Bach's highly recommended Coffee Cantata, (The Academy Of Ancient Music, Christopher Hogwood, conductor; L'Oiseau-Lyre 417 621-2), a piece calling for a soprano (Emma Kirkby) and a chamber group, you can tell that the performance venue was a church or a large recital room. Similarly, listening to small combo jazz such as Sarah Vaughan's quartet (How Long Has This Been Going On? Pablo, PACD 2310-821), it becomes pretty apparent that the spacious quality of the recording was a function of the record's engineering. Such classical recording sessions are often done with minimal microphones, and without any compression, or added echo or reverb. The natural acoustic of the hall and its decay (which is a function of its dimension) is what you get. In the equally valid rock and jazz world, most often the recording sessions are done in studios that have purposefully removed all identifying acoustics. The recording engineers want to control the reverb, echo, etc. in post-production mixdown. When this is done, echo and reverb units are patched into the mixer and the resulting sound approximates the sound of a singer in a larger room, say, a big nightclub, and it sounds like it.
When you play back such recordings through headphones, a transistorized amp will emphasize the sonics so much that I feel I can "hear" the engineers hand on the dials. It is as though the engineering is too "up" in the mix. Through a tubed amp the sound will emphasize the performer and the same mix seems more natural, further "down" in the mix. For me, that is an ideal to be striven for – the sound of music in its own environment with the engineering calling as little attention to itself as possible. That is, though I know the engineer has his hand on the dial, I think it ought to be as unobtrusive as possible. I want to hear the instruments, the voices, the skill of performance, not the skill of the engineer. The best engineer calls the least attention to his skill, but is in command. So sayeth Max the Dude.
[In audio there have come to be certain aphorisms that make sense only to other audio heads. Like, "The only good turntable is a dead turntable." "The best capacitor is no capacitor." "In theory, the best speaker cable would be infinitely short and infinitely thick." And so forth. "The best electric bass is a dead electric bass." You could make a Pooger's Almanac if you codified all of these. For sure, someone would embroider them onto canvas and sell them for framing through the back page ads of the hard copy magazines, and get rich. It does seem that I wrote something like, "The best engineer is no engineer." But, you know I don't mean that, exactly. I think I mean, "The best engineer is a shy engineer." Not too catchy. I've also heard a film editor say that, "The best film editor seems to be no film editor."]
Behind the curtain in Oz
I discovered forty years ago, when Saul Marantz allowed me to peek behind the curtain at a N.Y. Hi-Fi show, that in the demo room he was using a solid-state amp on a pair of KLH 12 woofers, and his tubed amps for the rest of the audio band played through electrostatic KLH 9s. I thought (being fresh out of college and possessed of bat-like hearing) that it was the best sound I'd heard. Sid Smith was there, a ruddy-faced guy in his late thirties; Saul Marantz seemed to be a gentleman in his late fifties. While Mr. Marantz was busy talking to folks, I got to talk with Sid Smith, who was Marantz's chief designer. I would become friendly with Sid twenty years later, when his daughter was a student at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore (my HQ), and I was doing modifications on my Marantz 7C preamp.
Sid Smith introduced me to the notion that one ought to have felicitously matched speakers and amplifiers. To his ear and his measurements, certain amps had certain rise times and decay times. Matching certain amps with certain types of speakers was an art. You had to be careful not to put certain types together that would result in too much damping and "dead" sound. You also might wind up with too little damping and "floppy" sound. So the game was to mix and match. Most woofers sounded better with transistorized amps, but a little woolly on tubes. Most electrostatics sounded better on tubed amps, but noticeably less shimmering on transistors. This was a rule of thumb.
During his last years Sid Smith listened to heavily modified Marantz tubed electronics through Quad 63 electrostatic speakers in his home. The importer of Lowther loudspeakers, Jon Ver Halen, recently told me that various types of speakers, not his, were under-damped and rang (had a too-long sustain); while yet others, not his, were over-damped and washed out inner detail (had a too-short sustain). These guys are not the only ones to attend to this distinction: seems like a lot of guys in the industry notice it. Mike Fremer, the vinyl guy at Stereophile, in his recent review of the "World's Best?" Continuum Audio Labs Caliburn/Cobra turntable, suggested that what made the LP player in question so good was its attention to the attack, sustain, and decay ratios. When some manufacturer gets that right we say the piece of gear has no personality of its own. And that's the highest compliment a reviewer can offer.
HeadRoom's Desktop Millett Hybrid Amp
There is so much information packed into this title that I think I ought to unpack it before going on. HeadRoom is the manufacturer headquartered in Bozeman Montana. Desktop identifies that its size is smaller than a rack mount, but larger than a micro-stack. Millett means the co-designer, along with help from Tyll Hertsens (HeadRoom's C.E.O.), was one Pete Millett, veteran audio designer of some pieces well-respected in only the best audio circles. Hybrid means that the amplifier has some tube elements and some solid-state elements. For example, the line stage is driven by one tube in each channel, but is buffered by a chip (HA 5002), like the other amps in the HeadRoom line. Amp means a dedicated amplifier designed for use with headphones with neither too much power (which would blow out some headphones), nor too little (which wouldn't be enough for high impedance 'phones). All together it means a dedicated headphone amplifier; small enough to sit on your desk; including Pete Millett's tube/transistor circuits, with some assistance from Tyll; and marketed by his company, HeadRoom.
If you consider a first-class headphone system as a first-class room system—in miniature; and you look at the driver in a typical set of 'phones; you'll find a miniature of a standard magnet/voice-coil/cone speaker—much like a miniature woofer. This might lead you to assume that it will behave like a typical woofer. But if you could measure the mass (or weight) of the moving parts, you might find the diaphragm is so light that it begins to resemble an electrostatic in rise-time, decay-time, etc. So, a good headphone driver may be more like an electrostatic speaker in its behavior than like a cone driver in a full sized speaker. If you can suspend disbelief for a minute, considering the above, you might conclude that a high quality tubed headphone amplifier might be a fortuitous match for most high-quality conventional (not electrostatic) headphones, and deliver really superior (not over-damped) sound.
Compared to Headroom's pretty damn good Micro-Stack headphone amp (all solid state), the Millett amp delivers in the ways I'd not quite expected. Subjectively, the rise time was pretty fast, and the decay time was somewhat relaxed, but not floppy. This made sopranos sound glorious right between my ears. No harshness, grit, or grain. Just the way they sound to me in concerts. Trumpets sounded brassy but with no extra tizz to the notes, and when called on for a bit like Harry James's big velvet tone, or when called on for growlly, or spitty, or "whiskered" with a whisper mute's tone, they delivered. Acoustic guitars sound like they do when I play them, with the right balance of attack, sustain, and decay. Bass viols have all the woodiness that is their texture, and the length of decay is right-on. Don't forget, my neighbor Erik Stahl plays the bass viol in our local orchestra, and he sometimes allows me to hear him practicing. I think I have a grip on what a bass sounds like, up close and personal. And my wife (Grammy Dudious) and I attend a good number of symphonic concerts, so we have a good idea of what the whole orchestra sounds like. (This past fall we even caught a concert in Barcelona's fabled Palau Musica Catalana concert hall, Christoph von Dohnanyi conducting the NDR Symphonieorchester Hamburg.)
Live music sounds damn close to what I hear through the tubed Millett amp. For a totally awesome experience, it must be hard to beat listening to Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, David Zinman conducting, (Telarc CD-80331), through my Optimus 3400 CD player used only as a transport, the HeadRoom Desktop Power Supply, the HeadRoom Micro-DAC, the HeadRoom Millett Amp, and the Grado 325i 'phones. It is, in my experience, the best sound I've heard from a headphone system so far ... glorious and magnificent. If you don't believe me listen to Telarc's new recording of the Vivaldi Gloria, and the Bach Magnificat, Boston Baroque, Martin Pearlman, conducting, (Telarc hybrid SACD-60651). If you have any brains left between your ears, check out the SACD hybrid recording of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, (Capitol, CDP 7243 5 82136 2 1-US). That'll getcha.
HeadRoom's Desktop Power Supply
This piece has the same physical footprint and build as the Millett amp, that is to say, they can be stacked. It is a quality power supply, with six outputs. I'm told the total current the li'l darlin' can deliver is about 350 milliamps, and I'll bet it is enough since pieces like the Micro-Amp and the Micro-DAC draw about 25 ma each, at the max.. The little wall-wart that comes with the amp seems adequate and fairly quiet at first listen; but when compared with the dead-quiet Desktop the wall-wart seems considerably noisier, and lacks the zotz the Desktop has. In other words, if you want a truly extraordinary headphone system the Desktop Power Supply ought to be included. You might make do with the wall-wart for a time, if you must, because you can't play the Millett amp on batteries—it draws 50 ma..
We know that wall-warts are adequate to do a passable job. But the Desktop is a higher quality power supply that regulates the voltage so it doesn't sag below +/- 15VDC no matter what goes on in the music; and has enough milli-amperes (350ma) that if 6 typical pieces draw from it they ought never want. In fact, they think, if they think, that they are seeing a considerable bank account of current they can draw on. This power supply is pretty darn good, and it has some interesting features. There is an optional "ground lift switch" which allows you to float the ground, purifying the current, to taste. There is a "power entry module" that allows the user to adjust for other international voltages when abroad for a time. And there are six "power outputs," all of the same voltage that allow the user to use any of the other HeadRoom Desktop or Micro line of amps and DACs.
I should mention that this system isn't designed for trips. None of the components can run on batteries as the Micro-Stack can. But for late-night listening, this dedicated power supply is the best I've heard.
Tube Rolling
This is an expression derived from log rolling, I think, but here it means swapping and evaluating tube sound for subtle differences. Eventually, theory goes, you can tune your system to get just the right amount of finesse or naked aggression that you like in your music. Three different pairs of tubes come with the Millett amp. According to Tyll, the somewhat laidback 12FM6, is a warm sounding tube; the most liquid 12AE6A, is a very nifty tube indeed; and the most neutral 12FK6, has the most extended top and bottom octaves. These tubes, used in this piece, ought to last a long time. But tubes age like light bulbs, using themselves up with use. When the shimmer and sparkle goes, it's time to replace them. When you find the one you like best, get some backups. With this choice, the tubes have more in common with each other than they do with transistors. The differences are subtle, but real. Like perfume. And once you get into perfume, those differences become huge.
Other Options
Class A: If you'd like, HeadRoom can upgrade your Millett amp with a special version of the Home Module. This mother board is a beefier circuit biased up to class "A" for overall cleaner sound, but it also draws more current and can only be used with the Desktop Power Supply. In my experience with other amps, I find class "A" runs a bit hotter, but that is worth the improvement that comes in very loud passages where there is no congestion and each instrument stands out well defined from the other instruments at full cry. If you make it a point to never listen loudly, class "A" is not for you. But who gets a fine system to play at very low levels?
Stepped-Attenuator Volume-Control: If you'd like, HeadRoom can upgrade your Millett amp with a special discrete-resistor stepped-attenuator volume-control. This means each of the stops on the 24-position switch has a resistor of specified value. This is a cleaner sounding way to do a volume control than even the best continuous tracking pots, and the tracking from right to left channel is usually extraordinarily close, for better channel separation and elimination of crosstalk. Better channel separation makes for better imaging. The quality of sound cleans up a noticeable, asymptotic bit. And it is the cumulative value of these bits that make all the difference. Just as the slightest bit of crud is audible in the signal path of a headphone system, the reverse is also true. Every time you are able to subtract a veil it noticeably improves the sound. Adding to the quality by subtracting a veil is harder to notice, at first. It is easier to notice an improvement by addition, because better bass is usually bigger bass. Addition by subtraction is subtler, but you will notice it, because you'll hear those inner details as you never heard them before.
Some Final Thoughts
This piece, the Desktop Millett Hybrid Amp, is another great piece of product engineering by the gang at HeadRoom. It is flexible! You can get it with or without the Desktop Power Supply, though I'd recommend with. You can play it with three different sets of tubes, equally intriguing. You can get it with a "Class A" driver board, or the regular "Class AB" (I guess) board. And you can get it with a good quality pot, or an even better discrete-resistor stepped-attenuator 24 position volume control pot. I think this makes it a highly desirable piece at its price point.
To be a genuine contender for "state-of-the-art" sound, there are some headphone amps out there that sell for $15,000!?! I don't know what is in them to warrant such a price. I know what's in the HeadRoom piece for its price, and even with the class A upgrade, the stepped-attenuator volume control, and the Desktop Power Supply, it is still a bargain if you plan an assault on "state of the art." As I've said, so far as I've heard, it is the best piece of its type, the one that matches my preferences the best, anyway. Your age, ears, brain might not match up with mine, completely. I've listened at some lengths to some very expensive systems (saving you the time), and I truly believe Headroom's Desktop Millett Hybrid Amp, used as I used it as described above, is a genuine contender for state-of-the-art. I think you will agree if you can get to hear this system.
If you are seriously interested and you want more information, go to Pete Millett's website (http://www.pmillett.com) for his technical stuff and DIY projects, and see the HeadRoom web site (http://www.headphone.com) for more details and prices. If you want to order any of the pieces I've run on about in this article, phone HeadRoom at 800. 828. 8184.
And don't overlook the new Grado 325i 'phones either. These will play well with anything, tube or transistor, dedicated headphone amplifier or a Walkman's amp out. They have the "Grado sound" along with much flatter frequency response. I'd say they have the all of characteristics anyone would want for listening to "pop," "rock," "jazz," and classical music. Their personality is they have no personality. For more information see http://www.gradolabs.com and use it to find your nearest dealer. This is a truly well-engineered product.
And when you and your friends go down to your local audio boutique in a conga line, don't forget to tell 'em Max Dudious sent ya'.
Ciao Bambini!!

Demand for Social Security Nomination Nullification Exposes Liberal Intolerance of Reform
Project 21 Fellow Deneen Moore Cites the Need for a Wide-Ranging Examination of Ways to Save Seniors' Financial Safety Net
For Release: November 30, 2006
Contact: David Almasi at (202) 507-6398 x11
or [email protected]
A demand from the liberal National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare for the incoming Senate leadership to reject the nomination of a proponent of Social Security privatization indicates that liberals are unwilling to consider all possible ways to save our nation's failing retirement security infrastructure, notes Project 21 Fellow Deneen Moore.
NCPSSM President and CEO Barbara Kennelly, a former Democratic congressman from Connecticut, recently called upon incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and incoming Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) to reject the nomination of Andrew Biggs to become deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Biggs, who supports allowing individuals to control their own retirement contributions, has been nominated to the agency's number-two job. Kennelly claimed Biggs' advocacy of a free-market means of reforming the rapidly-dwindling financial safety net would "destroy Social Security."
"It is outrageous that Kennelly and others like her seem to ignore the fundamental fact that Social Security is facing insolvency," said Moore. "All ideas to rescue and revitalize Social Security should be on the table. Ideas should be eliminated because they lack merit, not because their advocates were denied employment."
Moore added: "Senator Chuck Schumer recently touted that 'the Reagan philosophy is dead.' It seems that Schumer, Kennelly and their friends believe we have entered a second era of the New Deal in which Social Security must continue as it always has - robbing people of the ownership of their retirement contributions and allowing big government spenders to dip into this pool of cash to fund their pork-barrel projects. It is disappointing that they appear unwilling to give a fair hearing to someone solely because they challenge the Social Security status quo. Advocates of personal accounts believe they would provide superior financial returns than the present anemic system, help the economy generally by increasing capital available for investment and be more secure than the present system which, after all, is basically insolvent."

I could suffice for Him, I knew --
He -- could suffice for Me --
Yet Hesitating Fractions -- Both
Surveyed Infinity --
"Would I be Whole" He sudden broached --
My syllable rebelled --
'Twas face to face with Nature -- forced --
'Twas face to face with God --
Withdrew the Sun -- to Other Wests --
Withdrew the furthest Star
Before Decision -- stooped to speech --
And then -- be audibler
The Answer of the Sea unto
The Motion of the Moon --
Herself adjust Her Tides -- unto --
Could I -- do else -- with Mine?

I've written a simple web GUI for the excellent Ecartis mailing list software. The goal is to allow (non-technical) people to easily manage their own mailing lists. Right now, it allows you to subscribe/unsubscribe people to/from a list, and also list who is a member of a list. It is written using PHP 4.
Ecartis does have a perfectly reasonable CGI GUI, but I feel that it has too many options. The intent of this is to allow the sysadmin to control the configuration options (in accordance with site policies, etc.) while not being bothered about "people" list maintenance.

Home > After Saddam > Article
Before Zainab opens her books every morning, she looks for explosives in her desk drawer, fearful her school could be hit after the latest wave of bombings in Baghdad.
"We are scared. We hear rumours of more bombs," said the nine-year-old, standing near a wall where someone had scribbled graffiti threatening to blow up schools.
Terror from this week's suicide bomb attacks has spread to the classroom. Many students are staying at home. Teachers have postponed exams.
The latest attacks on the International Committee of the Red Cross and police stations have raised concerns that nobody is safe, not even children.
"We are young. We don't deserve this. We want to feel safe," said Marwa Bayaa, 17, whose school for the first time has had to hire security guards with AK-47 assault rifles.
Schools reopened at the start of last month. Some had been repaired by US-led occupation forces who hailed the start of the new school year as a sign of postwar stability.
But poor security left some students wondering whether they will have to miss a school year to stay alive in postwar Iraq.

In contrast to the past weeks racing, today turned on overcast skies with light rain, however a freshening SSE of 16-18 knots coming off shore over Vincentia delivered some smooth sailing.
The first race of the day got off to an early start with race officer John (Hoop) Hooper setting the course to 1GO at 0.9 nautical miles and saw Fijian competitors John Philp and Douglas Edwards get to the A mark first. They were passed on the first down wind leg by previous, multiple World Champion Blaine Dodds and daughter Roxanne Dodds from South Africa who continued to hold the lead all the way to the finish.

Primary School Admissions - School Visits - tips please(17 Posts)
DD1 is due to start school next year, and we are about to begin visiting the schools that are within our catchment area. I've looked at their webpages, and read their ofstead reports, but I am looking forward to getting to see the schools.
What should I look out for, (both in terms of the good and the bad), and what might be good questions to ask the staff and headteacher?
I would be looking at how the teacher controls the class, what sort of work is displayed.
How the children help and support each other.
I'm not sure what questions you could ask as its a long time since I did this.
How do the children react when a teacher / the head comes in? How is the talk in general? We disliked some heads as the only focus of 30 minutes talk was about how good they are academically. Yes, important but that's not all what school is about.
Do they do outdoor lessons, trips, hands-on lessons?
IT - how do they safeguard internet use? With a class of 30 and two teacher they can't check each laptop all the time and I didn't know 5 year olds could surf so good.
Art work - only good ones or a broad display of all kind of art?
Religious education - while each school is required to have an act of daily worship, it varies a lot, even between faith schools. If this is important for you (positive or negative) check.
Additional classes, music tuition, clubs
How do they keep parents informed and involved?
Also, before you do the rounds and get all excited about a particular school, check the local authority website for data about the distances from the school they have admitted children from over the past few years. You need to get a realistic idea of which schools you are actually likely to be offered a place at - in many areas 'choice' is a myth, but you may be lucky if your area is less oversubscribed.
Definitely visit as you glean so much you can't from websites and stats. I just knew from the way children and teachers interacted and what the head focussed on in their talk. Think about what is important to you both on a practical level and ethos wise. We are looking for secondary now and actually we have a very similar list of things we looked for back then - but of course dd has become more skilled at articulating her own opinion now!
Look for engaged children working enthusiastically. Look for all children's work being displayed. Make sure teachers are welcoming and the environment is stimulating. Ask how they teach reading and numeracy. Ask what the school thinks it does well and what it's plans are for the future. Think about what aspects of schooling are important to you and your DC. What music is on offer? What ties does the school have with the local community? How active is the Parents' Association? Is there anything on offer in a school that would really interest your DC? Have they a good library and supply of reading books? Do they have a mix of younger and more experienced staff? How long has the Head been there? How do they manage the children starting? How do they communicate with parents? Does the school inspire you? I think you get a feel for a school and know which one suits. Just make sure you can unto it!
Ask how they deal with bullying. If they say they don't have any bullying then they are probably telling fibs and not dealing with it.
Hang around school gates at drop off and pick up. Do children look happy going in and coming out? Are the children carrying bits of paper (bringing artwork, newsletters etc. home). Are staff visible e.g. available to quickly mention things, arrange appointments with etc.
I think happy children and good communication are the most important bits.
Sorry.... Should have said "get into it".
Look how enthusiastic the teachers are when talking about the school. I ended up choosing a school which had a less good ofstead report when compared with my other choices because the children all looked engaged and the teachers really seemed to love their job and the school and just seemed really excited.
It has just had new ofstead report and has gone up a level to outstanding so I think my overall instincts were right.
Other good thinks to look out for,
Does the school have morning/afternoon clubs
Bullying, what is their policy
What are the outside learning areas like
School lunches - are they cooked onsite or do they use a catering company
What is the school library like
All I can think of at the moment
We've just done our 1st school visit and to be honest - you won't get to see half of the above. We were in a big group of 20+parents plus assorted babies/buggies/toddlers and whilst you got to ask questions and look about, it wasn't a leisurely activity.
My tip is to go WITHOUT your child if possible, I spent the main talk time trying to keep my DD quiet and when we were allowed free rein to look around the reception class (the school children were at assembly) I spent most of the time trying to see where she had nipped off to.
It was a useful thing to do and I definitely got a feel for the school (like when you are house hunting). I expect once I've done a few other visits the comparisons will be most helpful.
If there are a couple you like you can make an appointment to go back and see the school on a normal day and ask any questions.
Look at the parent view report on the ofsted website for each school ask parents at playgroups my child minder was a very good source of information.
I think I am trying to say widen your search to the community. Go to the Christmas fair set the schools you like the look of too.
If they are a few years between ofsted report s ask how they know they are maintaining their standards and do they evaluate themselves
Ask if they have a behavior policy and do the children engage with it.
This is so helpful, thank you!
On my visit to the school DS1 attends (others to follow) the Head spent an hour of her day talking to me, she showed me around the whole school and into the classes during lesson time. I picked the school as she was so impressive, she knew all the children and they also knew her and talked to her as we went round. There was a nice hum to the place, the children were all working well, good discipline but it had a nice relaxed feel to it.
She also used the words, "We expect a lot.." but there was also a caring feel to the school.
I would look at the art work esp, good points above on it all being displayed. What awards does the school have, Arts awards, Healthy Food etc. Especially on the Arts award that DS's school has, a lot of work has gone into it and the children have really benefitted from seeing different types of art with writers, dancers, puppeteers coming into the school. Same goes for sport.
What links does it have to other schools, e.g visits to secondary schools for sports / arts / science ops etc.
Good luck, I based mine on gut feel in about 10 minutes and it is a smashing school.
Consider your most 'local' school ie that you can easily walk to, it saves so much hassle in the morning!
Also,as others have mentioned, the headteacher's outlook is so important - I visited a school where the first thing they talked about was the excellent before and after school care and how useful it would be to me (???didn't choose that one)
The one we went for said they let the children progress at their own level and wanted the children to do their best ,without being pressured and stressed (didn't mention SATs results once - I checked later and were good)They value sports, art and have role play/home corner areas in every classroom up to Y4.My children have been very happy and although the school may not be as pushy as some, the children seem to come out of there with enquiring minds and have a good attitude to learning.
ask about what might happen if things don't go well? ie if dc don't settle/do what they are told/don't make friends & get upset. ask how they communicate problems and solutions to parents? if you work and have wraparound care how will you communicate if you don't see the teacher?
our ds seems to be struggling and communication is frustrating. i am starting to worry that we have picked the wrong school.

Vertically Integrated
Located in York, PA, RTI is a division of Ecore International. It specializes in grinding, screening to size, separation, and removal of non-rubber contaminants from tires. Primary materials processed are recycled scrap rubber derived from tires, buffings, and peel, as well as industrial scrap rubber. Buffings (truck tire treads), passenger and truck tires, and other recyclable rubber scrap are processed to a variety of specifications for multiple uses and applications.
As the premier producer of top quality, refined rubber products, RTI employs a 6 step cleaning process of the scrap tires before deeming them acceptable for use in Ecore's flooring products. While the product is being cleaned of debris, it is also separated into different locations and shredded into different sizes from larger shreds to dust. From here the product is ready to be incorporated into Ecore's manufacturing process and turned into products, which are distributed under Ecore's business units: Ecore Athletic, Ecore Commercial Flooring, Ecore Construction and Ecore Industrial.
What happens to the debris that is extracted from the cleaning process? Most of it, which is metal, is sold to other companies, who can reuse it for other applications, thus recycling the product instead of sending it off to the landfill.
To the right is a list of some of the applications and markets where RTI supplies their rubber.
- Automotive Parts
- Molded Goods
- New Tires
- Extruded Parts
- Mats
- Roofing
- Tennis Courts
- Running Tracks
- Playgrounds
- Walking paths
- Fields
- Soil Enhancement
- Rubberized Asphalt
- Equestrian Footing
- Landscaping
- Civil Engineering

Bigg Boss 7's latest evicted contestant Kamya Punjabi expressed her opinion that Gauhar's presence on the show has done more bad than good for Kushal Tandon. Kamya also said that Sangram Singh deserves to win the show.
Kamya said, "If Kushal was smart and intelligent, he wouldn't have done the stuff he has been doing on the show. If any one says anything bad about Gauhar, that person becomes bad to Kushal."
When Salman Khan asked her, "Is Gauhar's presence good or bad for Kushal?" Kamya replied, "Definitely bad." Because, whatever Kushal has done in the house, he has done it for Gauhar's sake. In fact, the first fight he had in the house, with Armaan, was also for Gauhar. How many ever fights he has had in the house, he has done it for Guahar's sake. He could have gone good on the show, but he just missed it. He went on a different track all together."
When Salman asked her who deserves to win the show, she said, "Who ever has never hurt someone personally, some one who has never targeted someone emotionally should win. Sangram Singh should win this season."
But when a leading daily asked, who according to her will win the show? She answered, "I would like either Tanisha or Gauhar to walk away with the honour, simply because I want a girl to win."
Kamya Post Bigg Boss 7
Kamya after getting eliminated said that Gauhar Khan is bad for Kushal on the show, since everything Kushal does is for Gauhar.
Kushal's Attack On Andy
Kushal's attack on Andy was because of Gauhar Khan. Andy's behavious towards Gauhar triggered Kushal's violent behavior.
Tanisha-Kushal Issue
The entire enemity between Kushal and Tanisha is in a way due to Gauhar Khan. Gauhar and Tanisha's differences caused Kushal to act rudely towards Tanisha.
Kushal And Sangram
Recently Kushal got a little over board with torturing Sangram when Gauhar said he hurt her during the task.
Kushal And Andy
Kushal actually had nothing to do with Andy's behavior. It was just for Gauhar Khan that he got into the entire mess.
Kamya Told
Kamya told openly that Kushal took a different track all together when he got involved with Gauhar.
Kushal And Gauhar
Become Gauhar Khan's friend and you would get another friend for free, Kushal Tandon.
Kushal - Gauhar - Kamya
Kushal, Gauhar and Kamya remained good friends till Kamya left. Let's wait and watch how the love birds tackle the rest of the show.

Robin Thicke, Snoop Dogg & More Join Line-Up of Performers at MTV EMA
The incredible line-up for the "2013 MTV EMA" keeps getting hotter, with some of this year's biggest musical acts just added to the bill!

Additionally, MTV has announced that recording artist and model Iggy Azalea, singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding, singer/actress Carice van Houten (Game of Thrones) and actor Colton Haynes (Arrow, Teen Wolf) are all confirmed to present at the "2013 MTV EMA," with more performers and presenters still to be announced. The "2013 MTV EMA" is sponsored in the U.S. by 5 Gum, LG Mobile, Herbal Essences, Taco Bell and T-Mobile.

Whatever happens, I feel fortunate to be nominated and I can't even explain how dope it is to have my new track, 'The Spark,' as the official theme song to the EMAs!"
Imagine Dragons said: "We feel really lucky to be able to attend the EMAs in one of our all-time favorite cities in the world. To be nominated and performing on top of that is a serious honor."

"Harry Maguire is an ex-IRA prisoner who was convicted of murder. He now works for Community Restorative Justice, an organisation who try to stop punishment shootings. "A number of the shootings that have taken place over the last year have been done in a very haphazard manner," he said. "They're unprofessional with what they're doing. There's been a number of these punishment shootings where the intention has been to shoot someone in the knees. On one occasion a person was shot in the shoulder.""
The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to complain about it.

Restorative Justice
It seems that the different shades of restorative justice that can be found in Northern Ireland offend some people's sense of professionalism. Here's Pete on Slugger:
