your daughter decides she doesn't like the "bumpy headband" on your K701's.  

I'm considering getting a new phone.  Does anyone have a Windows Phone 7?  If so, thoughts, comments?  Do you recommend it?  Did you have an iPhone or Android before the Windows phone?  If so, why did you switch?   Thanks in advance.

If you happen to have this 3-cd set and are willing to help out, please send me a PM.  I have the set, but am unable to rip tracks 3, 5, & 10 from CD1.  I have tried with both EAC as well as dbPowerAmp, but both are unsuccessful.   Thanks in advance!

Santa was very good to me.  I received from my wife and kids a number of CDs:   - Clapton - Mojo by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Walking in Clarksdale by Page / Plant - Mulennium by Gov't Mule - Higdon & Tchaikovsy by Hilary Hahn   I also bought for myself:   - Elgar...

So. . . does anyone use a portable CDP anymore?  I love the convenience of the iPod (and similar devices), but miss CDs.  Let me explain. . .   I listen to my iPod at work, and it sounds great.  But 6 months ago, I only used the iPod on travel or vacation.  The reason was that I had a pretty...

I've recently picked up a couple of CDs by Zuill Bailey.  I highly recommend both!  What are your thoughts on Bailey?    Any recent classical purchases / releases you recommend?   Bach Cello Suites   Beethoven Complete Works for Piano & Cello

Hi all,   I currently own a few headphones, but primarily use HD-580 at home and RS-2 at work.  However, I've recently been wearing glasses while reading and on the computer at work which constitutes the majority of my "listening time."  The problem is that with the glasses, I find the RS2s...

Not many threads / comments on Liszt. I was looking at picking up Liszt: Piano Works by Bolet (Amazon.com: Liszt: Piano Works [Box Set]: Franz Liszt, Georg Solti, Ivan Fischer, London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Jorge Bolet: Music). Thought / comments? Any...

Having received a fairly large selection of vinyl from a friend for free, I've been working through them 2 or 3 each night. I just finished this: It was fantastic -- especially side two the Ballade for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 19 by Faure and the Scherzo from Concerto Symphonique No 4...

I got a bunch of vinyl for free from a friend. One of these was Luigi Boccherini - Six Quintets for Flute & Strings, Op. 17. It took some time to find a picture of this one. Very nice if you can find it! I've got about 350 albums to go through -- a great Christmas present -- for free...

Any recommendations?

Is anyone familiar with the work of Alexander Lokshin? I recently picked up the Shostakovich Symphonies conducted by Barshai, and in the liner notes it indicates that Barshai was a strong proponent of Lokshin's work. I've never heard of Alexander Lokshin and would appreciate any thoughts...

Not sure if you've heard the latest disc by Mutter, but I highly recommend it. Amazon.com: Bach Violin Concertos & Gubaidulina ‘In Tempus Praesens': Johann Sebastian Bach, Sofia Gubaidulina, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Valery Gergiev, Trondheim Soloists, London Symphony Orchestra: Music

Hi All, Any thoughts on this recording? Amazon currently is offering this for $60 (used for $42). Seems a pretty good price for 17 discs. Here is the link: Amazon.com: The Complete EMI Recordings: Jacqueline du Pré,William Pleeth,Gervase de Peyer,Johann Sebastian Bach,Ludwig van...

Hi All, Any recommendations on Tchaikovsky Symphonies? I only have the 6th by Jasons. Thanks in advance!

Highly recommended. The triple is with Oistrakh, Rostropovich, & Richter with Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Bramhs double is with Oistrakh, Rostroppovich, Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra. Here's the amazon link: Amazon.com: Great Recordings Of The Century - Beethoven: Triple...

For the classical experts on head-fi I have a question. From a recommendation here on head-fi, I picked up Bartok's String Quartets played by the Emerson String Quartet a little over a year ago. Upon first hearing the work, I absolutely hated it, and struggled to get all the way through it...

Been listening to Ms. Hewitt quite a bit recently playing Bach: - Fantasia & Fugue in A Minor, Sonata in D Magor - French Overture, Italian concerto, Four Duets, Two Capriccios - The Tocattas - The English Suites and I must say, that she is simply amazing. Just placed an order on amazon...

Just picked up this CD -- fantastic. Any other recommendations for similar works? Amazon.com: Liszt: Les Preludes, Mazeppa, Ungarische Rhapsodie No.4, Smetana: Vysehrad, Die Moldau: Music: Franz Liszt,Bedrich Smetana,Herbert von Karajan,Berliner Philharmoniker

Anyone have any experience with Dr. Lloyd Peppard's monobloc? I'm considering putting together a system around the Lloyd's super stealth monoblocs and his Ultra 4A SE Phono/Line Preamplifier. I have Totem Arro's now but am considering upgrading to Harbeth Super HL5 or perhaps the new Thiel...

Was Santa good to you? I got: - Led Zeppelin - Mothership - Raising Sand - Plant / Krauss (Amazing CD!!) - Brahms Cello Sonatas - Ma / Ax - Brahms Two Raphsodies, Three Intermezzos, etc. - Lupu - Brahms & Tchaikovsky Violin Concertos - Heifetz & Reiner - Beethoven & Mendelssohn Violin...

The other Brahms thread was getting a bit long, and I wanted to focus a bit on the his violin concerto. I currently own two versions: - Anne Sophie Mutter’s with Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic - Gidon Kremer with Leonard Berntsein and the Wiener Philharmoniker Mutter's is...

I recently purchased the Mapletree Ear + Purist HD100 from mrarroyo and could not be happier. I did not think Mapletree could make such a drastic improvement over my Headroom MicroAmp, but I was mistaken (Not that the MicroAmp was bad -- far from it. It will be used every day at work.) I am...

Anyone have any experience with this headphone? Thoughts / comments appreciated.
