I just had to tell someone!!

I'm listening to Miles Davis' album Kind of Blue with my 701 and it is really amazing! It's good with the Senn and just okay with the Grado, but with the AKG it's just incredible. I feel like I'm at a little jazz club sitting up front listening. I can feel each bristle stroke. I need more Miles just to showcase my 701.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

As soon as I read this I had a impulse buy moment...it's on order with free shipping for $7! Can't beat that

THERE ARE SEVERAL RECORDINGS OF THIS CD. THE ORIGINAL VINYL WAS RECORDED OFF SPEED OR WAS IT OFF PITCH. LATER ON...REMASTERED VERSIONS APPEARED. I HAD THE SPEED OR WAS IT PITCH CORRECTED REMASTERED CD. SOUNDS GREAT. I SOLD ALL OF MY CD'S SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT I HAVE THE FILES.
ALSO FROM THAT ERA...DAVE BRUBECK / TAKE FIVE
THE VINYL OF THAT ERA HAD SIMPLE MIC SETUPS AND NOT ALL OF THIS ARTIFICIAL STUFF THAT MAKES IT INTO RECORDINGS NOW. GET REMASTERED VERSIONS OF THAT ERA AND YOU HAVE A TRUE MASTERPIECE.

I have the remastered version with the pitch correction and the alternate version of Flamenco Sketches as a bonus. It's a beautiful album. Not that Kind of Blue needs any more praise than it's gotten the past 50 years.

Well, got the Kind Of Blue CD today, drove home during lunch and had some private listening time...I'm loving this CD!!! First thing I'm going to do when I get off of work is pop on my 701's and have another go at it.

Also, snapped a little of my noon time enjoyment for ya'll

If you bump into your desk, one or more of the following could happen:

You amp falls and breaks/gets scratched or one or more tubes break
Liquid + headphones/amp/laptop/album cover/flooring/carpet = something ruined
K701s fall on the ground and break/get scratched.
That glass breaks on the ground

Good luck with that.

Kind of Blue has quickly become one of my favorite albums. It's easy to become immersed within.

White on white. Mac and K701. Nice match. Just not digging iTunes.
