    You should listen to this!

    I'm allways curious to what people are listening to. There are some threads here to follow but I would like to ad one... The idea is this; Post a song (or an album) that is really one of your favourite songs (or albums) that we should listen to. Don't post songs (or albums...) that you...

    Vintage Grado RS-2? What amp matches best?

    After walking a weird and winding road to the purchase of a new headphone yesterday I ended up purchasing an Grado RS-2. It's a model I've heard for many times in the past and liked a lot. The price put me of a bit though... So first I purchased an Grado 325 which I also liked until I tried...

    Van "The Man" Morrison in Holland!

    Tomorrow I'm goin' to see "Van" at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam. I love "Van" and am really looking forward to it. Last time I saw him was at "Carré" in Amsterdam. The music was great, but "Van" was in one of his famous "not so good" moods... I hope He is in a better mood...

    Soundquality of 80Ohm, 250Ohm, 600Ohm..?

    Can anyone explain to me what the pros and cons are of the different impedances of headphones when brand, type, etc. are all the same? I wonder why manufacturers make the same headphones with different impedances… Which one to choose, and why? Which one gives the best sound quality?

    Ear buds as good as an good closed headphone?

    I’m still looking for a good noise isolating headphone (I used to say closed headphone…) and came across the Shure E4c and the Ultimate Ears super.fi 5Pro.

    Some directions please...

    Hello, Although I have been listening a lot with an A.K.G. 240 monitor (600 Ohm) in the past, I am fairly new to serious headphone listening. I would like to get into the matter more seriously, but could use a little help from you guys (and galls..?) I like closed cans the best because I...
