    I've been on a music kick lately...

    I have been on an intense quest to get some more music for the past few weeks, and have made a few interesting new discoveries, and also picked up some good older stuff, but I thirst for more. My collection is bloated enough that if I just say what I'm looking for, I will probably get...

    Looking for a comfortable, closed, sound blocking headphone, opinions?

    I'll start with saying I am very famaliar with a lot of headphones, I just want a couple opinions before I go run and buy another set (I have HD600s, SR60s, MX300s, Koss Plugs, and KSC-50s to start with). These headphones are for work, I'll be listening to them on a Karma, and I am not fussy...

    6DOIT!

    I just got 6DOIT today. I would be willing to bet that Braver, Davidcotton, Demetrio and others will get it soon. I am just finished with the 1st disc, which was very good, but it still dosen't top Images and Words to me. LaBrie seemed to be holding back a bit throughout the disc. Now, the...

    Band Similarity Engine

    http://www.resort.com/~banshee/Misc/Band/search.cgi Wow! This thing works quite nicely! I plugged in a few groups I like, varying the style a decent bit but keeping it reasonably similar: Dream Theater Nightwish Gamma Ray Helloween And it reccomends to me: Tristania, Therion...

    The Industrial Thread

    Now, I am not exactly the biggest Industrial fan, I much prefer progressive metal, or even jazz to it, but I do listen to it occasionally. Let the discussion include anything industrial such as Wumpscut, precursors to it like Front 242, and other groups where industrial has had a strong...

    How much are your headphones worth to you?

    Kind of an odd question. If you had to place a monetary value that you would be willing to pay for those headphones or something similar, on the basis of better performance = higher price. Grado SR-60 - $60 - I would pay up to $60 for a pair of Grado SR-60s and call then a good deal. Koss...

    Phillips fights back!

    Against the RIAA that is. They don't like this copy protection crap either. http://news.com.com/2100-1023-817937.html

    Grado SR-60s

    I just got some today, they will be mine for a month before I give em away, so I will post a couple quick first thoughs, with more details later in regards to how they compare with my HD600s. The first thing I popped in was some Dream Theater, the second disc of their Live in NY set. The...

    Holy *(&#$(^$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    When I got home today, my mother had recently walked in the door, and I saw a rather large box on the kitchen table. She made a passing comment about it being for me, and I had noticed she picked up a few LPs from a local shop (The Hi-Fi Exchange if you must know, they are in Amherst, NH, also...

    I won! But the contest is UK only

    Okay, I recently got a What Hi-Fi? magazine at Borders and in it was a scratch game. So, while it isn't good for me, as I live in the US, it is good for UK residents. It says "Find the Pharaoh's Treasure" on top, and dosen't seem to be associated with the magazine at all. Anyone in the UK...

    Cheap turntable?

    I am looking for an inexpensive turntable. This is to be a christmas gift for my non-audiophile mother, so she can listen to her collection of LPs. Max price is $150, I was told that belt drive is better for reiability reasons, and I need a phono preamp included in the player (Our current...

    Aiwa HP-X22 opinions?

    I am not interested in purchasing it, but rather I see em pop up all the time on Arstechnica, and would like some quick opinions on how they sound for the money, I see them reccomended fairly often by people that care about sound more then Joe Schmo but less then us, and wouldn't mind being able...

    IT

    Well, here it is. http://www.time.com/time/business/ar...186660,00.html Looks about like what I expected, which is to say quite nifty. Of course it won't meet all the hype, but I could see them becoming very common in the next decade.

    Left/Right Volume control

    There is a Head-Fier here that said he has a hearing deficancy in one ear, and was looking for a stereo volume control. Well, Sennheiser makes one, as seen hereHZR-6 I think this is exactly what you were looking for.

    Thanks guys! (Mini HD600 review too)

    I would just like to say thank you all for your advice, I had lurked on occasion over the past year or so at Headwize, and without the knowledge I have learned, I would have never known much about real decent headphones. A couple years ago I got some HD500s at Circut City, as I wanted something...
