Just got mine in today.  Using my AV40's right now until my E10 comes in tomorrow.  I'm in HEAVEN with these cans.  

Going to improve the quality of my sound from my iMac/iTunes.  I currently using some $30 Sennheiser's, which are great but looking for a little more quality.   I think I'm going with AKG Q701's, Fiio E7, Fiio E9, and Audio Engine A5+ for the speakers when I'm not using my headphones.  My...

From that same album, "Anything To Say You're Mine" does the same thing to me.  Devastating.  You can hear the pain in her voice.

Because there are better alternatives.

the set lists aren't in any particular order.

Early jazz is not much of my collection.  The collection noted above is from a particular period in which I find the most interesting.

Well a friend of mine asked me to get him into jazz last week and I finally got around to getting him some suggestions.  I put them into 3 sets of 10 albums each, trying not to repeat an artist within the same set.  I tried to get albums that as he progressed through the sets, he wouldn't lose...

And you didn't mention Herbie Hancock for what reason?

Charles Mingus - Ah Umm.  Part of my Top 10 Beginner's to Jazz Albums Playlist

Looking for some suggestions in this genre since this site is geared more to other genres. Thoughts?

Leave It All Behind, by Foreign Exchange.   R&B never sounded so good.

over 31,000 tracks in my iTunes library.  That comes out to about 220GB of music from 128-320kbps.  I keep the FLAC files to them on other hard drive for backup.  Since I can't tell the difference betweeen CD, FLAC or mp3/aac (at least at 192kbps and above), I just "work" out of my iTunes...

Eric Clapton - Unplugged The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over (XRCD) Getz/Gilberto - self titled Stevie Ray Vaughn - Greatest Hits Vol. 2 Tracy Chapman - Telling Stories Arnes - Jazz at the Pawnshop Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (Re-master) Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack Norah Jones - Come...

Wow didn't know that. I'm a fan of Larry, Lee, Chuch and Fourplay. Fourplay is due for another CD. Any word on why Larry left? Personally, while I love Larry's blue's still, Lee sounded like he fit in the group's sound better. Can't wait to hear Chuck with the group. I do wonder why they keep...

A combo of high bit rate mp3's and FLAC. I don't buy CD's anymore. They are a waste of time and space and an excersie of ridiculous organization skills. All of my CD's have been sold to the highest bidder or giving to the library.

I use the high gain setting for my Grado 225i's. I like they it brings out the sound over the normal gain. Is this a good thing for my cans? Will this damage them?

I just bought and installed mine today. Note that I am on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. After downloading the Win 7 64 bit drivers from Asus, you unzipped/extracted (using Win Zip 7) to my desktop. From there I just ran the setup.exe inside the folder. Done deal. As far as disabling your...

I swear last week, I was at Fry's checking out this Asus product so I can have a sound card/headphone amp in my rig. All was good, but at $200 I figured I'd go online. All was good at the time, I was just spending the last week doing research and everything pointed to this being the card to get...

I'll give the shampoo suggestion a try tonight.

I'm love the headphones guys. My only issue is the comfort of the pads and that they hurt my ears after a while. What do you recommend I do to soften the pads or what would you recommend I purchase as pad replacements?
