Looking for around 150 speakers
Pioneer SP-BS22-LR...designed by Andrew Jones. Best bang for buck passive desktop speakers in their price range, imho...You really do get quite a lot for your money. Assuming you have some sort of amplification, it's hard to beat these guys. I'm listening to them right now through an old Denon...- roll-man

Official 2014 Bay Area Meet - SUNDAY - Feb 16th, 2014
Likewise. Can't wait to check out all the great gear & pick up a few tips from experts like yourself. I'm bringing a musician buddy of mine who's visiting from Switzerland. He loves high end audio and is also an excellent drummer. Should be awesome!- roll-man

Official 2014 Bay Area Meet - SUNDAY - Feb 16th, 2014
Jumping on the bus a bit late here, but I have always wanted to attend a meet. Please count me + 1 in if possible. Will be heading over from Berkeley. Will bring a few pocket sized items, but don't need any table space. Hope there's room. Really looking forward to it!- roll-man

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
I joined head-fi in 2001. At the time, I had a pair of Senn HD580's, Koss Porta-Pro & Grado SR60's...I rounded out my little collection with JMT Altoids, Porta Corda & Total BitHead amps. At the time, Ety's were the only IEM people talked about. They were the best of the best. So, when the time...- roll-man

Best Bang for Buck CD Player with Balanced Output
hey, thanks very much for your response...i think the emo is a winner. As much as I'd love the oppo, recabling my senns & getting an rsa to xlr has pushed the budget. I have another non-balanced oppo, 2 panasonic blurays, a rotel cd, a samsung bluray & 7 other portable cd players as additional...- roll-man

Best Shostakovich recording?
big ditto on the string quartets...Borodin or Emerson (I have both complete sets). Let's not forget Symphony #4 either. That one was held back for many years due to the whole Soviet political thing. It certainly presents itself as dark, stormy & turbulent. Truly excellent. -

Behringer HA4700 headphone amplifier
This topic comes up every so often...About 3 years ago, I bought a Berhringer HA 4400 Powerplay 4 channel amp on ebay, new, for about $50. I bought it as sort of an experiment. As we know, people around here spend hundreds if not thousands on amps...I figured I would see if there was thousands...- roll-man

Got my new HD-650's today...please tell me burn-in helps a lot
Take a deep breath....it's so easy to let emotions carry you away to the point of either throwing the product or yourself out the window. I'm sure your expectations were so high and you were so looking forward to being blown away, that the dissapointment is magnified. Those Senns definitely...- roll-man
