Quote: Not sure, to be honest. I love trying new gear, but for me, it's all about the music. Writing and listening. I am more than satisfied with what I have right now! The Senns are purely because I could use some closed back phones for studio work!

Just picked up some SR60i's today. Wow! I am thoroughly impressed!    I have been using AKG K701s and JH Audio 5 customs. Both are stunning headphones! The AKG is used for my recording sessions and when I want to study music and the JH5s are my go to "fun" phones ( I also use them live...

Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Gavin Harrison for me.

Holy. Hell.   What a soundtrack. I'm really loving these last years. First Reznor's The Social Network OST had me crying of joy, then Tron's OST blew me away. Now this. The Chemical Brothers.   You owe it to yourself to check it out! You will not be disappointed.   Back to listening...

First of all, please ignore the guy above me. You don't need a band to play the bass and it is NOT an easy instrument. Sure if you only listen to today's radio friendly music, it may come off as so, but let me assure you the bass is a difficult instrument to learn correctly. I've played the...

Just dropping by to say I think the iPod Classic (2009) sounds fantastic with my JH 5 Pros.   Picked one up last week with my next MBP and have to say, it far exceeds my expectations. I have an old iPod 5th gen (60 gig) which had horrible sound quality compared to the current one! This one...

Using a MBP with the Apogee One as well here! Bought it for both recording and for audio playback! With my JH 5 Pros, I have to say, I am VERY happy! Sound is flawless!   The ONE is a great device! The condenser mic is amazing! I play in a heavy prog rock band and I put the ONE in the middle...

Lots of good tracks on the Eclipse OST. Haven't seen the movie and will probably only watch it when it hits DVD. Not a fan of the books/movies, but the OSTs definitely are good.    I suggest you all check it out. Metric, UNKLE, Battles, Dead Weather, Beck, Muse, Vampire Weekend, SIA, Vampire...

RUSH July 15th in Quebec City! Playing all of Moving Pictures! I cried when I found out and I am pretty sure I'll be wheeping of joy when I am actually there!

Just received my JH5 Pro today. First impressions are very positive! Wasn't wow'ed, but then again, haven't been wow'ed since I received my AKGs. I'll do a full write up with my impressions and photos in a couple of weeks. I'm leaving for Australia this Friday so I get a full 24 hours of plane...

I guess I'm one of the few on these boards who ISN'T addicted to audiophilia. I have a good pair of phones for home (k701) with a modest amp, and I have a set of IEMs for portable use. I would not have known about them if it wasn't for this site, but I am set now. I don't plan on upgrading every...

Not to start an e-argument, but why would you say that?   Why wouldn't they embrace facebook or twitter to promote their business? They get more traffic to their site, and well, those who participate have a chance to win customs valued at $1000.   Facebook is a great way to promote a...

We Lost The Skyline blows my mind!   "Normal" is fantastic and I love how he messes up and restarts the song! A very intimate live performance!

Waste of money in your case.   Broadcast monitors are used for video editing, and are meant to give the truest image possible for post-production. They use SDI or HD-SDI connections, which can transmit uncompressed footage from a editing station. I can go into much more detail, but you can...

Leslie Feist, Jenny Lewis (solo and with Rilo Kiley) and Victoria Legrand with Beach House. These three together is all I ever need. Throw in some Goldfrapp, Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos and well, you get the point..   But MAJOR shout out to Victoria Legrand! Fantastic voice!   EDIT: Oh...

Voyage 34 - Porcupine Tree

La Villa Strangiato - Rush

Big PT fan here, so I may be a little biased. Nonetheless, here goes.   *Note : I am taking these straight from my iTunes library.   Amplifier - Amplifier / Insider   Anathema - All albums are great   Battles - A little obscure and different, but if you enjoy psychedelic rock...

Picked up the new Beach House. Wow. I am absolutely in love with Victoria Legrand's voice! First heard her on her collab with Grizzly Bear on the New Moon OST (surprisingly good). That song is amazing! Really liking this album.   Also picked up Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM. Another stunner...

Beach House - Teen Dream

Hello everybody, my name is Sim and this is my story.   I am buying too much music, when I have too little money. Thanks to Last.fm, I am discovering SO MANY new artists that I really enjoy. I then check out iTunes to get a feel for their other songs.. Next stop after iTunes, Amazon.ca with...

Film Major here with old MBP (2.2 Core 2 Duo with 8600M) using FCP. It works great with ProRes HD. I have to keep Real Time at the lowest settings however and renders take forever. I am upgrading to the new 15inch, but not because the old one is slow. Only because my warranty is over in a few...

I really hope those aren't the only dates. I NEED them to hit Montreal or Quebec for that matter. I will really cry if they ignore this side of the country..

The Hazards of Love - The Decemberists.

Also was at the Montreal show!    Amazing show. Albeit I saw them at the Metropolis in September too, I was still stunned by The Incident.. Really makes me appreciate the album even more (not that I don't already love it)!   Highlight for me was Stars Die and Buying New Soul.. I think I...
