Lucky you! The 580 or 600? FYI: The price diffirence between those 2 is a lot less over here in Europe then in the USA/Canada; about 40-43 USD or (50 EUR).

I listened to this album the last 9 months several times a week. Then, since about one month I got myself real headphones (Sen580); and started to notice the things that I missed on this album... This is the best album I ever heard. Great tunes, the great voice of Geike, really, a must. To...

I don't know Femi Kuti and I'm not sure this falls under the Afro Pop section but I recently saw Afro Celt Sound System live and the Monday after I bought the CD. I really like it a lot.

Quote: Originally posted by Neruda that looks good, merg. Is it true the the latest firmware upgrades for the Rio also increased the maximum volume output? The latest firmware version (now 2.01) just uses a finer scale: 0-40 in stead of 0-20; the max volume is the same. More then...

Simple setup: RioVolt with Sennheiser MX500. Sounds GREATH though.

Woa!!! Just listened to this cd the 4th time in a row this evening and I'm finding it better everytime I hear it. They really have an unique style. Love it.

What brand of headphone amps the Europeans over here buy? I'm looking for an amp for my HD580.

Thanks for the review! I passed the URL to my wife as an extra argument in my defense to justify for paying so many EUR for a headphone. It helped!

Quote: Btw, when encoding with LAME, using the --r3mix option is a very good way to record IMHO. It creates a very good quality MP3 with a decent filesize. I completely agree. I ripped my entire CD collection (3800+ files/20+GB) with lame --r3mix -b128 (the -b128 is an 'older' extra...

Was my first 'encounter' with Pink Floyd. I still always get the shivers when "Sorrow" begins. "On the Turning Away", "Yet Another Movie" and "Learning to Fly" are my favorite tracks. The live album from that tour "Delicate Sound of Thunder" is also great. I saw them live here in Werchter...

I recently bought the Sony MDR-ED238ML earbuds. They sounded nice, but today I was able to listen via Sennheiser MX500 for a few hours, and they sounded a lot better! The Sony's costed about 45USD, the Sennheiser only 18USD (converted to USD, I live in Belgium). Now, taking into account...
