    Oh my god. Buy this album now.

    I have not been active with high end audio for a very long time since my studies began to consume all my time, and had happily retired with an HD650 (which I still have).   I recently heard a cello version of the cover to Game Of Thrones by a band called Break of Reality. I loved it. It led...

    Need good IEMs for noise cancelling...

    It appears as though it will be perfect -- which tips are the best for isolation? Those triple-flange ones? Does it come with only one pair of them?

    Need good IEMs for noise cancelling...

    Not sure if I need active cancellation -- that big battery powered box seems a bit unwieldy. I just need isolation for studying, that, when paired with playing white noise, will block out as much sound as possible, particularly voices. Also to be used for music.   Is the etymotic Hf5 any...

    Need good IEMs for noise cancelling...

    I've been out of the fray for a very long time due to my increasingly demanding college course load.   I need good IEMs for noise cancelling. What are some good ones for no more than $200?

    Persian/Iranian music...

    Recently, I have discovered that I love Persian/Iranian music. I'm not good at explaining the type of music it is, so I won't try. Instead, I can link to two CDs in particular that I am enamored with at the moment.   The first, is The Passion of Rumi by Shahram Nazeri...

    Repair Sony Discman D-303?

    Hey guys I got a Sony Discman D-303 for free and appearntly they are supposed to be quite good. It powers on and eveything seems to work, except, if you put a disc in, it won'r read it. Is this a typical problem with these old Sony discmen? How would I go about fixing it?

    <$500 speakers for loud music

    I did kind of an impulse thing and got the RB-61s for $409 shipped, brand new on e-bay. They have the highest sensitivity, and seem more capable than the A5s from everything I've been looking at. Any form of aggressive sound definitely won't be a problem with the kind of music they will be...

    <$500 speakers for loud music

    The subwoofer connects to the output of the source and the speakers connect to the line out on the subwoofer. So I would connect the line out on the woofer to an integrated amp, and then connect the speakers to the amp? Would an amp like this be a good choice? Anything cheaper that would be just...

    <$500 speakers for loud music

    The subwoofer is active. Does that mean I can just get an amp for the speakers? I have no idea what's garbage and what isn't. What would be a good amp that could easily power the CB-20s to high volume without any distortion or other problems?

    <$500 speakers for loud music

    Thanks for the suggestions! The RC-10 is too expensive, not to mention I would still need an amp. The RB-61 could be doable, but the price would be slightly more than I am looking to spend. Would the RB-61s be noticeably better than the M3s or CB-20s? If not, I'd like to save the money. I need...

    <$500 speakers for loud music

    The walls aren't concrete but they aren't paper either. Being loud won't be a concern, don't worry about that. Any suggestions as to what I should be looking at?

    <$500 speakers for loud music

    I'm going to be getting an apartment and I want to get some speakers for $500 or less that will not distort and retain good sound quality at high volumes. I currently have the Audioengine A2s and they sound good in a smaller room at low to moderate volume, but if you try and turn them up higher...

    Need a cheap turntable...

    Ok... does the 1200 come with a decent cartridge, and where can I get replacements? Is it easy to align/calibrate the cartridge, are there online instructions for this anywhere? Finally will I need a phono preamp?

    Need a cheap turntable...

    I've heard that it is a DJ turntable and doesn't sound very good for use in a stereo... How would it compare to the music hall MMF 2.2? Other than having a manual tonearm, it looks very easy to use as well.
