I personally love Aviv's voice - and the album as a whole. But i agree - the mastering is a disappointment compared to the first two Blackfield albums and the Live in New York DVD (which is great!).

Ultrasone PRO 900 - makes my ears hurt

You should probably delete this thread and continue in the DIY forum (since the topic of this thread is DIY-related) 

I'm going to New York in October and hope to do some shopping. Can you guys recommend any good shops in New York with a wide assortment of headphones and headamps?   Thanks 

I agree, the mastering sucks - the vocals are distorted (i don't think it's on purpose) and it just sounds compressed.   But I can cope - it's an incredible album in every other way!

I think Sony CD3K deserves a spot in that list.

1. Make a wooden box 3x3x3 ft. (perhaps sq will improve if you make it bigger) 2. Isolate it. 3. Make a hole that fits your head and headphones. 4. Insert head. There's room for improvement - perhaps you could replace one of the sides with plexiglass

As far as i know Apple removed all universal binaries from Snow Leopard and freed up some space - hence the PowerPC incompatibility.

There's a new version of Soundsource out Rogue Amoeba | Freebies: Free software for Mac OS X - and it works fine with SL here. Quote: Originally Posted by West726 I use Soundsource in the menu bar to toggle between headphone output and USB output. Snow Leopard lost it. Otherwise...

I still have my old Beyer DT511 from around 1990-93 - though they are more or less falling apart by now.

I'm ready to order the Denon pads - I can't wait!!

Depends on the recording. But why throw away data when storage is cheeper than ever?

Is the detachable cable by any chance compatible with Ultrasone cables?
