    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Thinking of moving from my X2s (which I love, but the curiosity for more is always there) to some Beyer Amiron Homes or DT1990s. Anyone listened to both and is it a decent upgrade? or would you recommend sticking with the X2s. I wouldn't mind slightly better imaging but that's about it lol.

    Zishan Z3 MP4/AAC files - Freezing.

    Hi, Just received a Zishan Z3. The vast majority of my files are AAC, and some mp3. The mp3 files play ok, but the AAC files make it instantly crash and I can't seem to fix this. I'm using version 0.3. Not tried an older version yet. Has anyone found a resolution for this?

    Best audiophile metal and rock albums

    Check out Avenged Sevenfold's new album: "The Stage".    Also their previous release, "Hail to the King".   Both sound amazing for metal records. The dynamic range is particularly impressive.

    What does Pharrell Williams actually do?

    Not be pedantic, but when you say: "An amazing super producer" what makes you say that? (not trying to be argumentative, genuinely curious)   :)

    What does Pharrell Williams actually do?

    Hi there,   I know this sounds stupid but....   I know the majority of his praise is from the production side of things, can someone actually give me some demonstrable talent from this side of things?   Yes, I know this is random but I don't understand the hype around him, there are some...

    Ultrasone Edition 8 encounter.........

    Even if they were £500, I would still be disappointed.

    Ultrasone Edition 8 encounter.........

      This describes my experience perfectly. I thought I was just having too high standards.   They sounded awfully coloured to me.

    Ultrasone Edition 8 encounter.........

    Hi there,   I've not been into headphones for a while now. I haved owned a pair of HD595 headphones for a few years now and love them, although I haven't used them in ages now as I got into speakers a lot more.   Anyways, I'm in Selfridges in Birmingham today and there was a pair of...

    Audiophile Mainstream Music.

    Hi there, I'm looking for some audiophile records in pop, techno, rock, dance etc.   I do like those beautifully made jazz and world records, but they aren't my everyday listening.   Does anyone know of any 'more recent' records that are well produced and made?   Cheers.

    Another Porcupine Tree Thread.

    Got 'The Incident' today, and it's really good!. Need to give it a few more listens obviously, but even at first listen..wow.   Still doesn't beat FoaBP imo, but I'm not sure anything can.   I think part of the love of this band is just the production, I'm not sure, there's something...

    Hi there, I'm looking to get another porcupine tree album, and as there are so many I need some help with making the decision of which one (or maybe two ) to buy.   I currently own:   In Absentia Fear Of A Blank Planet Arriving Somewhere Deadwing   Fear of a blank planet is...
