Note-by-note Piano I'm sure many of you are fans of Ludovico Einaudi. He's not on Bandcamp, Genres for Piano Solo, Post-Classical and Neo-Classical are. Browsing these I eventually run into both 1631 records and heklAa. heklAa's full discography of 7 albums cost €8.80 which is a bargain 1631...

I discussed an on-going thread for the group to post musical finds with pedalhead at the show, but I've only just found some free time to create it. Sadly, as yet, no prizes https://www.head-fi.org/threads/2017-uk-head-fi-group-music-thread.861187/ Hope to see some interesting posts Neville

Daily I find myself wandering the genres/followers/feeds on Bandcamp. My wishlist grows and shrinks, by purchase or just nor being interesting enough to ever buy. I'm sure that 5 of my all-time top 10 are there, I just need to find them. I'm mostly a metal-head though metal has become a very...

Prior to the UK Group's Milton Keynes Meet in April 2017 there was a UK Head-Fiers Group competition * - suggest tracks you've enjoyed - with a prize going to the members choice. There is no prize this time, but the idea of the UK Group having a thread to note down their recent finds is worth...

It was a very enjoyable day with a chance to meet so many enthusiats. Always better than any CanJam imho. And thanks to all those who said nice words about my SJS Aoide. Having my equipment at the show meant I got to hear a number of headphones through my set-up. I admit I do like 50+ genres of...

The problem with the competition was I couldn't decide a top one/three or ten to recommend in time. And once I started confirming 2016/7 releases on Bandcamp I kept getting distracted. I did finish up with another 17 albums today :)   My musical tastes dont suit everyone but after stripping...

I'm planning* to bring along my Simon Shilton Aoide Headphone Amplifier. Custom wound 30/120 ohm transformers, DHT E55L NOS valves. Toxic silver cable wiring... So far it's the only one, though Simon has a second in build.   *Planning as my CD developed a left channel issue, and then my...

Looking forward to it. I could hardly fail to attend being already there.

After you went inthere, Mark and I experimented with one of the aftermarket cables available at the show.   The Atlas Zeno sounded great though we both had to give our ears ten minutes to adjust. Checking their website it appear to be so new they've not set up the weblinks yet (I think they...

Nice case Donkeaneu. Is it available or home made?   I'd want screen protection - my glass sub screen broke when it slid off my knee, whilst putting an SD card in, and hit the charger. Hifiman did a good job of fixing it (though there's no UK distributor so it has to travel the world). Now...

During the break-in period (up to 100 hours) you can listen to all those secret pleasures you'd never admit to - Britney Spears, Justin Beever  etc. After all you're not really listening - it's just breaking in the drivers. Then go genre wild - The Ring Cycle, Trypykon, Kraftwerk, Aesop Rock...

High End Pricing Many many years ago I talked to A. J. van den Hul and he explained the pricing of his latest super cable like this. Target sales before profit: 1000m Cost of machines to do all that insulation, braiding etc: $375,000 Cost of material - he didnt say - lets go with $25/meter...

fengwei: Maybe becuase I structure Genre/Artist/Album so more directories for it to traverse? I have about 350 directories and 3000 files on a 64Gb.

My 64gb cards take at least 3 minutes. My 128Gb card I can safely make a cup of tea, brew for 4 minutes, and get back before it finishes.   I use a genre-artist-album directory structure so that may be why it takes so long?

if you enjoy rock/metal then the Schitt Mjolnir and LCD 2 have a wonderful synergy. I cant say if the very new Mjolnir 2 has the same synergy.
