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.- Matkinson121

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?- Matkinson121

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.- Matkinson121

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) :)- Matkinson121

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...- Matkinson121

Ultrasone Edition 8 encounter.........
This describes my experience perfectly. I thought I was just having too high standards. They sounded awfully coloured to me.- Matkinson121

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

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.- Matkinson121

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...- Matkinson121
