Yep. That group started taking a departure from alt. rock with OK Computer (some might argue The Bends). That is when I started getting more and more into radiohead, but others went the other way and I understand that. They changed their style, and that alienated some and drew in others. Atoms...

The album was very solid, and most of the tracks were great, but seeing them live is just infinitely better than the album. I haven't been this surprised by the difference in a long time. They are tearing it up out there!

I'm back from going to the Atoms for Peace concert on Monday. **HOLY CRAP** they are really good! The albums they play from are great (they also played Paperbag Writer from a radiohead b-side at my show), but it doesn't do their live show performances any justice. Neither do any of the clips...

Maybe I'm mistaken on this, but I thought that the 71-B did not have a DAC. The website doesn't mention it at all.

  There's an app for that.

  I had that thought too, and for people with tinnitus and all the other nasty conditions it would be amazing, but I hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime. Having to constantly update my gear *AND* my eyes, ears, tongue, etc.? Plus, just imagine all the aftermarket ear mods that will be offered...

Not to get too far off the subject, but this thread is an incredible resource. I know it helped me to understand that more isn't really better in audio file formats in a much better way than I was able to piece together over the years. I mean, I could never hear a difference past 16-bit in...

After several weeks into using the device I think it's time for a follow-up. The initial amp I received that I had detected some timing issues with became much worse the following day. It developed quite a bit of static and had volume adjustment issues. I worked with Ray on it, who was prompt...

The OP had mentioned amping, so that's why I suggested the HD600's. It really depends on what you want. If you're looking more for isolation you can go closed ear, but to me if you're going to go over the ear why not get open phones for the best presentation?   If you're looking for isolation...

My fusions came in yesterday. They look phenomenal, but due to a miscommunication the headphone cable will have to be re-terminated to get an RSA connector put on. I could provide pics, but they would be the same as nbarnard's. When I get the 4-pin connector I'll post them up. I don't think I've...

I'm thinking $250-300. That gets you in the range of something like the HD600's which are liked by many a head-fier.

In that price range I've heard that the Koss Porta Pro and the Sennheiser PX-200 are worth the money. Then again, there are quite a few iems in the $70-100 range that are a tad colored but sound very good. Frankly, if you go past $100 you might as well look to spend another $150 to get into some...

I saw quite a bit of coverage from the London shows. They were there for two days I think. The art room and clips I saw looked pretty cool. I'm hoping they setup something similar to that at the stadium. Did Thom wear that hooded robe the whole time? (<-Hysterical, btw) Who was the opening act...

He's got some compatibility with other IEMs with that cable I think, but I agree that it's pretty expensive. At least with my Shure cable it will work with all Shure IEMs. I might buy a pair of 846s down the road.

I'm listening to Down is the New Up from that album right now. When they were doing alternative rock albums I liked them alright, but when they started going more and more into electronic/ambient I got more and more into the group. Street Spirit and Just are great though, a lot of that material...

Probably so. I let Pete know when I placed my order that I would be leaving on vacation soon, so the wait can vary a little bit. My order was placed on Aug 5th, and it should arrive on the 11th or 12th. I think the total time on mine was about 5 weeks. The the pics look great too. I'm very...

I ordered in early August. I made some changes too. At first, I ordered based on hooking it up to my HP-P1. Then I added an SR-71B to the rig, so I changed my connector to balanced, and added another cable to use as a mini from the HP to the 71B. Pete was patient with me and always quick to...

  I may have some pics to share in a few days if nbarnhard doesn't get the chance. My fusion order is on it's way now. Between all the components I ordered over the last few months it will mark the end of a long journey. 

Good picks! :) You can't go wrong really. I'd also add Meeting in the Aisle or Paperbag Writer to the B-Sides I really like. There's just too much good music from this group. :D

Okay, so this is pick your favorite child for me. I find that my tastes with this group change all the time, so this is very tough and I can't emphasize enough that there is no particular order:   Lucky Kid A Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors Dollars and Cents Sit Down, Stand Up   I like all of...

I'm still figuring out what kind of portable rig config I want myself, but having the ability to play 24/96 or higher files natively may not be as big of a concern as you think. Check out this thread on the forums to get some more information on that. Personally, I've not been able to tell the...

  Not until now. I'm sure it will make it's way to the states soon. Amazon thinks it's worth $180 to import, but I'd have to get a YF-19/21 test ride for that. I don't really care who does the dubs because I only watched the subs of everything anyway.   I already feel burned enough by the...

The game looks interesting. I don't think it would be able to use the vocalizations in 90% of what I listen to. That would be very challenging.   You will basically be broke with all that going on. Fan forums are to blame for so many extreme purchases, but the swag is so nice. If I'm not...

Quote: Congrats! I look forward to seeing more impressions on it as more of them ship out. The theorem has already started shipping out.   This reminds me of the MS/Sony "console wars" going on later this fall. At least in this case all of your old music will not be obsolete no matter...

Oh, maybe I got confused by the thread I saw on it. I didn't read it all the way through. It looked like people had pre-ordered, and some units had shipped or been purchased at stores recently, but quite a few are still waiting on fulfillment of orders from last year. The CEntrance blog makes me...
