    Quick question about the USPS...

    I just bought an LP from the Netherlands. What's the "procedure" when receiving international packages? I have no clue whatsoever as this is my first time.   The only bit of advice the online store gave me was...   Quote:   Thanks

    Headphones... the band!

      Here's a cool group I just discovered. I know nothing of the guy who started it (David Bazan), but I think it's really cool. I'm into track two as of writing this, and as far as I can tell it's just live drums, synth, and vocals. Definitely worth checking out guys!

    Headroom Portable Micro Amp (w/ DAC) > HD595 | Your thoughts on my soon to be "real" headphone rig.

    After a year or so on here I think this is what I'm going to buy for my first "audiophile" setup. What are your thoughts? I'm open to other suggestions. But I want to remain around a budget of 850 total.

    I want to learn guitar (again)

    When I was in junior high school, I told my dad that I wanted to learn guitar. He bought me an Epiphone Les Paul and a small practice amp. I was into it for about two months, but got discouraged. Guitar is hard.   So! I'd kind of like to pick it up again. I still have the guitar and amp...

    (((POWERHOUSE SOUND)))

    Has anyone ever heard of these guys? It's one of Ken Vandermark's bands. It has got to be the weirdest jazz I've ever heard. I saw them at the Newport Jazz Fest. this year and they blew my mind. I'm having a tough time finding a physical CD to buy. The only thing I can find is the album on...

    "If you don't like the weather in New England, just wait a minute..."

    I don't remember who said that, but what gives? It was 40 degrees last week, and today it was around 70. I want winter already so I can ski!

    Would a mixing board work as a headphone amp?

    I just thought I'd give this a try.   I currently have a Behringer XENYX 1202 FX mixing board that I'm going to use to record music with. I was looking at buying the Koss Pro4AAT to use with it, mainly because of the lifetime warranty (it would be nice to have that assurance for heavy use...

    Porcupine Tree Reccomendations

    So, I hear a lot of you talking about PT every now and then and I was thinking I should try them out. The problem is, they have what, 10 studio albums? Nevermind the EPs. Where do I start?

    I don't want to see a live show ever again.

    Is it just me or does live music sound awful? These audio engineers are supposed to be professionals. I saw Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston lastnight and the sound was god awful. All I could hear was an indistinguishable rumble from the bass guitar. I...

    In Rainbows - 2 Disk Japanese Release?

    Found this at my local CD shop. I paid 35 bucks for it. It's disks 1 and 2 of In Rainbows. I know nothing about this certain release except for the fact that it's Japanese.     Do you know anything about it? Was it worth 35 bucks? Is it real? Etc.   Thanks.

    Philip Selway - Familial

    Didn't see a thread about this, thought I'd put it up. It's Phil Selway (Radiohead) and his upcoming solo album.   Here's the link:http://www.philipselway.com/music.html   I think this is a really good song, and I'm looking forward to the CD, but it's just strange listening to this.  ...

    Artists/Bands similar to this...

    French Letter This is a band I heard about on this forum actually. I really really love it, and I suggest buying their EP. Unfortunately it's only 4 songs! I need more! Is there anything readily available that's similar to this? (i.e. on itunes, etc.) Cool.

    MDR-V6 Mod. I think I just fixed the harshness/brightness issue..

    Sorry about no pictures, I was in a rush to do this and I forgot. So, I absolutely love the detail on my V6s, but the harshness was a huge turn off. I wanted to do something about it. I noticed the foam that comes in Koss UR40s, and I wondered if that sort of foam would help "deaden"...

    Phil Selway recording technique question w/ photo

    http://www.gearslutz.com/board/attac...-0057-copy.jpg What purpose do the linen sheets serve? I'm a musician and I plan on doing some recording soon, but I'm far from an expert. What would hanging linen sheets do to the sound?

    Compressing stereo CDs to AAC mono?

    Most of my Coltrane collection uses hard L/R panning and I find it hard to listen to with headphones. I store all music on my computer using 256 VBR AAC. I figured I could just compress those problematic CDs by setting the channels to MONO. Now when I rip a CD the bitrate reads 160 VBR AAC. Why...

    Songs not in correct order on iPod...

    When I view my library on iTunes, everything is in order. However, when I use my ipod, on certain albums the songs are completely out of order. All the track numbers are correct. I don't know what the problem could be. thanks.

    Rush reccomendations...

    I just bought "Moving Pictures" a few hours ago. I really like it. I want to get into them a bit more, but since they have what is it, 19 albums, i don't know what to buy. Reccomendations would be cool.

    Apples vs Oranges

    Lately, I've noticed that head-fiers have a problem with half the polls on here. They say that what ever is being compared simply shouldn't or cannot be compared. They say it is like comparing apples and oranges. Well, lets compare apples and oranges right now. Which do you like better...
