I got a chance to hear a CD that I borrowed for a very short time but it was one of the most beautiful compilations that I have ever heard - made me listen to it for 5 hours straght. I had to give the CD back, but I wrote down the names of the artists - Legendary Pink Dots, Coil, Current 93...

Damn, just noticed that DI has decreased their streams from 128 to 96k. I guess they're experiencing bandwidth issues. Anyone knows if it's only temporary ?

Has anyone seen "Underworld" yet ? Just saw it and I can tell you that it really stands out of the pile of crappy movies we had this summer. Though they could have extended some ideas in the movie, I guess they kept them for the second installment. Overall it's nicely done and quite appealing...

Ok, here's the thing: when switching to X2 a high-pitched hiss can be heard if the volume knob ( in this case RKV ) goes to 11, which is a little higher than my normal listening levels, but I know it's there.

Ok maybe some people will find this piece of information usefull. For those who live in the Big Apple - Lyrics Hi Fi on the upper east side is an Antique Sound Labs distributor and through them you can get ASL Twinhead MKII for $1895 plus tax. Unfortunately they don't have a demo sample to...

Okay, here's the question. I am thinking of trying out and maybe eventually buying tube headphone amp for my HD580/HD600 setup. Now as far as I understood from reading this forum for a while the current toplist would be (by price ) - Musical Fidelity X-can V2 - ASL MG Head OTL - Earmax Pro...
