    Anyone switch from MDR-V6 to HD25-1 ii?

    Alright...this was the convincing I needed. Thanks a bunch for posting - it's good to hear from people with the actual experience of switching between one and the other. Now I just have to raise money for the switch. The options are: 1. Sell my D2000 (it has minor cosmetic cord fray -...

    Anyone switch from MDR-V6 to HD25-1 ii?

    I'm considering switching from the Sonys to the Sennheisers for when I go to a cafe and want to listen to music while using my laptop. I've read that the Senns have excellent isolation, which I'd like, but I'm also hoping they'd be a bit more involving than the rather pleasant but...

    outlook of this site

    I took a break from this site for awhile and have been poking around again - I find it much harder to find what I want on the front page (the basic forums) than I used to, because of the emphasis on sponsor links (whether links to websites or sponsor forums). I imagine there is a better way to...

    New REM album "Accelerate" - good fidelity?

    I just got "Accelerate" today - it seems to be another victim of the loudness wars (especially when I flipped between a 256 kb/s track I ripped from an earlier R.E.M. album and a track from the newest). That being said, after tanking up on coffee, the first track made me want to kick a hole...

    What is your favorite Symphony?

    I'm still only learning about classical, so my exposure is somewhat limited, but the ones that I can listen to over and over again seem to be Mahler's 2nd, 6th and 9th (the last movement is amazing!) and Beethoven's 7th and 9th (4-way tie). But I'm glad to see some love for Tchaikovsky's 4th...

    Wilco Sky Blue Sky

    I picked it up on Tuesday - it's growing on me, but slowly. It took awhile for me to get into A Ghost Is Born, but I love that album now (the feedback solo at the end of "Muzzle of Bees" is sick!). Right now, "Side with the Seeds" is probably my favorite track off of Sky Blue Sky. I finally...

    Aftermarket Sleeves for the Audio Technica CK7?

    I'm curious about this too - I just picked up a pair for my commute (they don't isolate out the Boston T perfectly, but I can at least hear my music now without blasting out my ears and the ears of everyone around me with my Portapros). I saw someone posted that they used Shure e2 tips, but then...

    Am i being stupid or do headphones sound better at night?

    I'm doubting it has anything to do with power lines...thought I guess it could... I doubt this because my iPod sounds better at night as well as my stereo. I also remember this time I worked until 2 in the morning, and on the ride home, my car radio sounded absolutely amazing and it was just...

    OK, whats the deal with Yourmusic.com?

    Just do it! It's great, and while they don't have everything, they certainly have enough to fill up a pretty significant queue!

    Poll: Who Will Be Awarded The Next Knighthood Among Rock/Pop Stars?

    Gah!!! Bono!!! "Did I mention in this interview that I'm a 'rock star' yet? Oh, I didn't? That's r-o-c-k..." I can't stand that man and his ego anymore. He'd suck his own toes if he could. You read correctly: toes.

    AKG 701

    I've owned K701s, and I own an iPod, yet I never used the two together...BUT, I have used my iPod as a source for my speaker setup using the iPod dock and 192 kb/s rip rate and it sounds just fine. I'm dying to know what store you went to (you can PM me if you don't want to bash the person...

    Darkvoice 336 arrived in 110 voltage.

    Whoo! My Darkvoice just came in! I've got it plugged in and am listening through my HD600s to some classical... Right now I have nothing to compare it to, but wow...I forgot how enjoyable a good set of headphones can be!!!

    Darkvoice 336 arrived in 110 voltage.

    I can't track the package on the DHL website at all. I was reading about customs and public vs. private couriers, and it said one of the reasons using a private courier is more expensive than using the regular mail system is because private couriers (like DHL) often include in their price...

    Tea-Fi?

    Whoo!! I finally had some good bubble tea today! It was iced thai tea served with condensed milk over...bubbles (or bobas? boba?). It was pretty damn good, and now I just realize that Tealuxe in Boston makes nasty bubble tea (there is just something unpleasant about the flavor of their...

    Meh! Mine has been "inbound to customs" since Saturday...I imagine they have a big of a backup with the holidays and lots of shipping to people abroad. At least that's what I tell myself when I'm not thinking "Way to name it something that sounds like a terrorist plot...'Operation...
