    Requesting some good Irish folk bands.

    Don't forget the band from Newfoundland, playing 'pop/rock music' with a very nice Irish folk twist, I love their record 'Something Beautiful' (2004). The Song 'John Barbour' is exceptional...   Great Big Sea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   Great Big Sea was a Canadian folk rock...

    King Crimson 40th Anniversary releases

    While exploring this band, I very much underestimated Beat, but also Thrak. I'm very curious on what Wilson has done with songs like Heartbeat.   Yeah I remember, so no real love for Thrak? I really love that record, would definitely make my KC top 10.   I also remember something about...

    My first real pair of headphones and I would like help

    Many would say GS1000 is the bass master from Grado if I remember correctly (has been some time since I used en tested headphones)   I'm not a fan of GS1000 but many are

    My first real pair of headphones and I would like help

    Bass is not overly present imo, but if you like emphasis on bass, Grado's not the brand to go with.   But I think RS en SR225 models DO have enough bass, but they're not D7000's either.   RS1 is a pair of cans I feel is very well balanced in lows mids highs, suitable for metal tot prog to jazz

      think I had them all three, all above average to my taste, if I remember correctly, I enjoyed the porter most. Couple of years ago. Hmmm, will pick them up again when at the local beershop, good idea, thanks!

      That's one of the US beers I can get in my shop hier locally; bought it several times. They also make a very decent porter if I remember correctly.

    Top 10 Most Downloaded HDtracks Albums (1/1/14 – 3/31/14)

    Beck on 1 :O   Some nice 24/96 recordings on this list, but it's far from being my personal HDtracks list.   I still consider 'Open your ears' as one of the very best ways to start for a beginning head-fier:)

    My first real pair of headphones and I would like help

    RS2 and RS1 are also Grado´s offcourse, but have a pretty different presentation then SR225!   I replied your pm about the SR225, and yes that´s a great great starter pair of headphones, but RS1 and RS2 are a class higher, IMHO.   Must admit, being a Grado lover, RS1i is still one of the...

    ^ defenitely yes, but he's leaning towards the heavier side op PT, so....     No-Man's Together Were Stranger is IMHO one of the very best records made involving Steven Wilson, if not, it's at the very nr1 spot for me. But it's something different, something else then PT, those records...

    guys, you're right man. Still haven't sold the T1, but I have only 2 hopes left to use headphones: RS1 (had it for a while, regret having sold them) en K1000, both heard them and I could be happy with them, especially compared to.....nothing. So if anyone knows of someone in for a trade or...
