    Grado Fan Club!

    Quote: Not sure, to be honest. I love trying new gear, but for me, it's all about the music. Writing and listening. I am more than satisfied with what I have right now! The Senns are purely because I could use some closed back phones for studio work!

    Grado Fan Club!

    Just picked up some SR60i's today. Wow! I am thoroughly impressed!    I have been using AKG K701s and JH Audio 5 customs. Both are stunning headphones! The AKG is used for my recording sessions and when I want to study music and the JH5s are my go to "fun" phones ( I also use them live...

    HANNA - The Chemical Brothers

    Holy. Hell.   What a soundtrack. I'm really loving these last years. First Reznor's The Social Network OST had me crying of joy, then Tron's OST blew me away. Now this. The Chemical Brothers.   You owe it to yourself to check it out! You will not be disappointed.   Back to listening...

    So I want to learn the bass...

    First of all, please ignore the guy above me. You don't need a band to play the bass and it is NOT an easy instrument. Sure if you only listen to today's radio friendly music, it may come off as so, but let me assure you the bass is a difficult instrument to learn correctly. I've played the...

    7th Gen (2009) iPod Classic 160 SQ

    Just dropping by to say I think the iPod Classic (2009) sounds fantastic with my JH 5 Pros.   Picked one up last week with my next MBP and have to say, it far exceeds my expectations. I have an old iPod 5th gen (60 gig) which had horrible sound quality compared to the current one! This one...

    Looking for some iMac audiophiles...

    Using a MBP with the Apogee One as well here! Bought it for both recording and for audio playback! With my JH 5 Pros, I have to say, I am VERY happy! Sound is flawless!   The ONE is a great device! The condenser mic is amazing! I play in a heavy prog rock band and I put the ONE in the middle...

    New album releases in 2010 - Update/discussion thread

    Lots of good tracks on the Eclipse OST. Haven't seen the movie and will probably only watch it when it hits DVD. Not a fan of the books/movies, but the OSTs definitely are good.    I suggest you all check it out. Metric, UNKLE, Battles, Dead Weather, Beck, Muse, Vampire Weekend, SIA, Vampire...

    JH Audio JH5pro thread

    Just received my JH5 Pro today. First impressions are very positive! Wasn't wow'ed, but then again, haven't been wow'ed since I received my AKGs. I'll do a full write up with my impressions and photos in a couple of weeks. I'm leaving for Australia this Friday so I get a full 24 hours of plane...

    Why are audiophiles such an addiction?

    I guess I'm one of the few on these boards who ISN'T addicted to audiophilia. I have a good pair of phones for home (k701) with a modest amp, and I have a set of IEMs for portable use. I would not have known about them if it wasn't for this site, but I am set now. I don't plan on upgrading every...

    Want a free pair of JH13 Pro's?

    Not to start an e-argument, but why would you say that?   Why wouldn't they embrace facebook or twitter to promote their business? They get more traffic to their site, and well, those who participate have a chance to win customs valued at $1000.   Facebook is a great way to promote a...

    Unplugged like albums?

    We Lost The Skyline blows my mind!   "Normal" is fantastic and I love how he messes up and restarts the song! A very intimate live performance!

    Broadcast monitor vs. LCD/Plasma HDTV???

    Waste of money in your case.   Broadcast monitors are used for video editing, and are meant to give the truest image possible for post-production. They use SDI or HD-SDI connections, which can transmit uncompressed footage from a editing station. I can go into much more detail, but you can...

    Beautiful female vocals (recommendations)

    Leslie Feist, Jenny Lewis (solo and with Rilo Kiley) and Victoria Legrand with Beach House. These three together is all I ever need. Throw in some Goldfrapp, Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos and well, you get the point..   But MAJOR shout out to Victoria Legrand! Fantastic voice!   EDIT: Oh...
