I tried a few Grado's —didn't like the Grado house sound—, a few Senn's —HD650 left a good impression—, a few lower-end AT's —I thought the AD700 were impressive for the price— and after reading...
In my recent quest for a new set of cans, I took a slight detour into the land of flashy prosumer headphones, in the form of the HK CL. The only reason I tried a pair was the price: half off,...
The Creative Aurvana Live! solved a major problem for me—how to listen to good audio while walking the dog at night. I live near a commercial and bar district in Center City, Philadelphia and I'm...

I used to be sure that I am not a basshead. My favorite IEMs for the longest time were RE-0, my favorite headphones were (and still are) various variations of ATH "sweet treble" sound signature,...
The best way to enjoy Goa is in the club/at the party - my experience - because headphones cannot catch the vibe of actually being there. I will certainly dig for Goa though...
Do you guys find this type of stuff in FLAC files or only Mp3? I have A LOT of dubstep, but its all been downloaded (legally mind you) and its in Mp3 format. Is there a way to reformat them to something with better quality, or possible download free podcasts in FLAC rather than Mp3? Im just really trying to get the most out of the music I have.
I hunt for CDs and sometimes the best cuts are to be found on vinyl. Second hand record stores and fairs for the music collecters are a gold mine. Just make sure your budget does not stretch more than you want it to.
Most albums are available on CD, some releases from the smaller labels are only on vinyl or as a download, or sometimes as a vinyl that comes with a code for a download which is nice, ripping from vinyl is a PITA. And, no, you can't reformat them to a better quality file.
For individual tracks I use Trackitdown and Beatport mainly. They both have a wav option. I take it on beatport but not on trackitdown.
When downloading mixes I take whatever I can get. Im not usually too bothered unless there is bad clipping. Some dance music can actually sound better at a reduced rate because it gives the music a harder rougher sound. Works well with hardstyle.
I haven't found a single Electronic second hand CD or Vinyl in any store I've been in down here. It makes me sad, but I understand it I guess.
I buy most of my other genres second hand though. Go in with about $200 once or twice a year and walk about with 20+ CDs. Always a super fun day.

I honestly think that any Trance fan in the world should own the entire Above & Beyond discography. It's just...too good. You may not always be in the mood for it, but if you get in that mood you'll always sneak an Above & Beyond song in there somewhere.
Also, that's a great remix. I'm not a big Calvin Harris fan, or the biggest Deamau5 fan (to be honest), but that's (IMO) Calvin's best song, only made better by Deadmau5.
