Just thought I'd create a page for the goodhertz line of audio plug in products, especially CanOpener and Mid-Side.  I mostly mean the desktop plug-ins, but we can also discuss the mobile aps as well.     The products I've purchased so far are: CanOpener for mac and iOS and Mid-Side (the full...

So I am putting together another Atlanta meet.  We had one of these in February and it was very fun, so hoping for basically a repeat.  Nothing too fancy.  However it will also dual serve as an organizational meeting for next year's Canlanta.  As last year we did this in February, you can see we...

TL;DR: If you see a major difference in THD vs frequency at 90dB and 100dB, it predicts that the headphone will not handle EQ well at those frequencies where the difference is large.  If the square wave response quicly falls off, it predicts EQ adjustments will not produce as noticeable of a...

dump any notes, pictures, banter, etc here! Edit just realized I wrote 2015 in the title originally, lol.

So this has always been something that I've wondered about, but I've never found anything that ever talked about it, and I even bought a book that was entirely about the recording of Kind of Blue.   So, anyway, at about 2 minutes in to the stereo version, you notice Jimmy Cobb's cymbal work to...

So, I was highly skeptical of this at first, I mean it's not Muddy Waters.  But it had enough players that I respected to give it a chance, and wow, I'm glad I did.  John Primer does an incredible job singing in tribute to his former boss (Primer played in muddy's band).  For us audiophiles who...

So, there was some talk about this in the HE400i thread, but I thought I'd give this its own thread so it doesn't get drowned out, and is a pretty major thing that didn't seem to be talked about at all.   Me and a couple of HE400i owners recently noticed that the insides of our headphones...

Click here for the meet impressions thread!   January 9th, 12:15 PM in the North Druid Hills area of Atlanta (right off I-85 see specifics below).  Easy parking. WiFi (albeit relatively slow WiFi). lots of tables.  Would likely need some help with people bringing extension cables and power...

So, I think I almost have what I want figured out and settled, on, but I thought I'd take some feedback and see if anybody had any thoughts, and also create a space where I can kind of talk through the finishing touches on my headphone lineup.  I'll describe my listening situations, what I look...

So, a while back I was trying to decide between the RS2e, SR325e and SR225e.  I liked the sound of the SR225e better.  I found the SR325 a bit shrill and piercing, not quite the icepick treble of the old SR325, but still more than I liked.  The SR225e, however, sounded great to me.  In fact, I...

Thoughts?  Here's some stuff I put in my listening notes.   Remaster of the original album material   This is for the iTunes and Vinyl versions.  Supposedly the CD versions are just the 2009 remaster, but the Vinyl and iTunes versions are remasters that primarily pull a LOT of the 2009...

So, best friend owns the M50X, so I borrowed them (traded out with my SR225e with her for a week) to really decide between these two.     Burn in time at the start of the comparison was: Shure ~40 hours; M50X 200+ hours  In the comparison over a week, I probably put in an additional 30 hours...

So, I used to be pretty up to date on headphones, looking at these boards for a while, and then I gradually settled on the rotation I have now, and didn't really need to buy or try much of anything else out, so I stopped coming here (not that this board isn't great, but I'm also into photography...

Full review can be found here   When it comes to The Strokes, really one thing separates their great material from their merely good material. Melody.  You pretty much know you're going to get the same dead on the beat drumming and lyrical/riff-y bass parts. Julian's voice is always going...

Asus Xonar STX or SPL Phonitor? I know they're different beasts, but I'm curious.

I'm after bands that kind of straddle the line between straight-forward classic type rock and alt-country. Kind of a "Southern hole in the wall bar band" type sound. I guess the most popular bands of this type would be The Black Crowes, Cracker, Cast Iron Filter, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The...

Is it just the rarity/collectability factor? Or are they actually supposed to be better? Typically a used HD600 goes for around $220 and used HD580 Jubilees go for about $350-$400 a lot of times.

YouTube - Insane Clown Posse - Miracles Yes. So many great lines. NSFW.

I don't even care about the DJ stage, but holy crap, now that's a lineup. Better lineup, way cheaper, not 1938472093856 degrees outside = win. Full Lollapalooza 2010 Lineup: Soundgarden Green Day Lady Gaga Arcade Fire The Strokes Phoenix Social Distortion MGMT Jimmy Cliff Hot Chip...

Do you think if they knew how much their headphones were trashed here, they would pull their ads?

Is it just me, or is the definition of "neutral" off on here? For instance, people describe the M-50 as "bass monsters" around here. While I think their bass is great, I consider them a fairly neutral/flat sounding headphone, as far as headphones go. People refer to the HD600 as kind of the...

The Stax is for Stax records, not Stax headphones. Which is a kind of "you know you're a headphone nut when you see Stax and think headphones and not soul music first." Anyway, anybody have any idea what headphones these are? I'd guess the picture comes from the '60s
