First off, good to see an Umphrey’s McGee fan here – they’re probably my favorite band to see live these days. I’m lucky enough to be heading to Europe to catch them in Amsterdam early next week. That should be…decent Anyways…do you happen to tag any of your FLAC files you download from the...

You can defrag as normal - there will be no problems.

Cool thread, first off... I would do just about anything if it were possible for me to go back in time and see bands like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, the Stones, the Dead, etc during their prime...alas Anyways, here's my list, the best I can remember it (and in no order): Phish (23 times)...

HERE is a link to some of the more popular bands that are traded on e-tree. HERE is a webpage that contains the full list of all known bands that allow trading. I have not used this resource, but it looks to be very helpful. I just spent about 2 hours or so updating my list on...

If you like MMW, check out 7-4-2002 and 7-5-2002. Both sets are from High Sierra Music Fest and both are excellent. If you like Sound Tribe Sector 9, check out 7-6-2002 (also from High Sierra) - the source I have is Neumann AK40s and is also sounds quite good. This is some of the best STS9...

I use to do a lot of trading a few years ago, especially when I first started getting into Phish. I didn't have high speed at the time, but I amassed a pretty decent collection via snail mail. These days, I don't have time for many trades, but I do have access to a local FTP that will host...

I'd suggest checking out Medeski Martin and Wood. They can play a number of different styles of jazz, fusion being one of them. These guys are a blast to listen to and they put on a fantasic live show - they can PLAY. Every album is quite good, IMO. Check out 'Tonic' for some live acoustic...

I agree with almost all of what Sweet Spot had to say. I think Radiohead is an amazing band that pushes their limits with every new album release. Despite the large differences in the types of music contained on this album, I think it flows REALLY well, just like the rest of their most recent...

Well, I _REALLY_ want to make it down for the meet, but I am going to have to drop my name. My roommates and I are running into a little mess with our lease on the house we live in, so I am going to be tied up with that. And who knows, by the time the meet rolls around, I could be...

If you are lucky, maybe some other people will be taping the show as well...if so, perhaps you can get a patch in with them? Do record such a show correctly (with good results), you would have to invest a lot of money in your recording rig...a patch is much cheaper Look for someone...

I marked yes to 11 fields All would be great with headphones

Well, I don't have any plans during that weekend, so I will probably be able to make it as well. I could bring my HD-580s w/ Cardas cable, if needed. I also have my JMT powered META42, which I would be happy to bring along as well - I know some of this gear is already on the list, but I'd...

I've worked a 75 hour week as well as a 70 hour week, back to back. I was in the UK at the time doing a Windows 2000/Exchange migration for the company I worked for. It wasn't all that bad, really...got paid over time (time and a half, and some double time) and got to drink really good beer for...

Well done, Sir! VERY original - I really like the shots in the dark with the blue LEDs making everything glow. How does it sound??

Well, mind is on order and it should arrive late this week/early next week I think I should lock my wallet and all credit cards somewhere safe for the next little while... Or maybe get a second job? I'll be sure to post my impressions when they do arrive

JMT asked that I keep his price quotes private, so that's what I shall do! I went on a MMW listening spree last night - 'Friday Afternoon in the Universe', 'It's a Jungle in Here' and lastly 'Tonic'. I was amazed at the sound quality of 'Tonic'! If I remember right, this recording was made...

It is the Hammond 1455 in silver, I think. If JMT looks here, he will correct me I'm sure

No worries on that ! Three more hours and I can go home and listen!

I suppose you guys are right, but I didn't feel the need to drop a ton of money on a power supply, nor felt the need to add 4x buffers on the output *shrug*

Ah, the crossfeed...didn't say anything about that, did I?? In my listening so far, I can't say I like or dislike the crossfeed just yet. To me, it makes a larger difference on certain albums compared to others. On Dark Side, for example, I felt the bass had more impact with it off then with...

Hello folks, My journey into the headphone world started a year ago this spring when I wanted to get a pair of cans for late night listening. I decided on the Sennheiser HD-280s due to their decent reviews, noise isolation, and price. I knew these weren’t going to be my last pair of...

I really love seeing live music, and the majority of the music I listen to has been recorded live with the blessings of the band that is playing - most of these 'bootlegs' sound pretty damn good, as they come from VERY expensive taping rigs. We are talking Neumann, Schoeps, or high end AGK mics...

sorry, double post.
