Of course, as headphone users, we don't have to worry about room acoustics, so we're free to spend as much money as possible on equipment!

Some of the software mentioned in this article (which is linked from the above), also looks quite interesting:

I'm a pretty big Alan Parson's fan, and I like that he's really sensible with his listening habits. Kind of refreshing, actually.

 

Alan Parson's Project is absolutely something you should check out when looking for test tracks. I recently picked up a copy of one of the albums again and was blown away.

I agree, room acoustics sound so hard to adjust, and by using headphones we put a load off our minds!

I'm also quite an A.P.P. fan, its great music and he's a great sound engineer. DSOTM would not be what it is without him.

Following his opinions is like tracking down his paycheck.

It's not too terribly complicated - just a matter of learning something new. Makes a lot of difference at the end of the day; a lot more than some equipment does (note: some). To give a very crude example - a good pair of headphones is along the same lines as a properly adjusted room with decent speakers. The speaker system will be more visceral though.
