    The Official JRPG Thread (aka Japanese Role Playing Games)

    Yeah, you can't find them in stores anymore... the red wood counterparts of the female protagonist from the portable version can be found, and it might be possible to find the updated version of the original, the ATH EM700Ti, but the EM7 GM are long gone. Hoping maybe to score a pair on the...

    What are your favorite indie games?

    Knytt anyone? A little short but it was an audio and visual joy. Of course gameplay wasn't too bad either. VVVVVV also.

    The Official JRPG Thread (aka Japanese Role Playing Games)

    Been a while since I played a new JRPG - last two were Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and Pokemon Black.   Just started Persona 3 FES, I'm hooked. Listening to Burn my Dread, and other songs from the game when I'm not playing it. Also would like to get a pair of the MC's headphones.. the ATH-EM7's...

    What does everyone want for christmas?

    ATH Pro700Mk2 MDR SA-3000 - I like detail a great deal and these are said to be some of the best. Build quality and lack of bass presence gives me pause though... wondering how EQ and the below would factor in.   Rolls HA43-PRO - A four channel headphone amp, to be used for my developing...

    Headphones you regretted buying the most

    In the past I've always relied one pair of headphones at a time.   I guess I most regret the MDR NC-7s simply because I paid far more for them than I had to (55 vs 22 online). But without then don't know what I would have done, as I've said, they were were my only pair at the time. Sure were...

    New to the audiophile world - M50, Pro700Mk2 or Other?

    Well I ended up going the usual route getting the M50s. Can't say I'm unhappy, but wasn't blown away. I guess I had set the bar fairly high for these phones. And maybe my source and other equipment isn't optimal for getting the full performance out of these... and of course burn-in is still a...

    Amp suggestions - cheap and small

    Forgot I was posting in my request/suggestion thread and not the more general E6 thread. Probably post a link over there.   This is added in after writing this rambling thing: The E6 most sucessfully deliver on the ability for me play audio, bypassing a non-functional 3.5mm jack, and do so...

    Headphone Sightings 2

    Saw some Shure 240s the other day.. not too exciting when I got home and looked up the model.. but more notably saw some guy wearing HD 555s in the mail room the same day. I think the coolest headphone sighting recently wasn't on any person but on Wednesday this week, some SR-80is out as part...

    Amp suggestions - cheap and small

    Not really looking for anything too bulky or expensive. E11's not in the budget - started working just recently (not as young as that might make seem, just pretty lazy and not-committed to the job hunt), not too many hours a week due to significant class load, so at the end of the month not much...

    Amp suggestions - cheap and small

    New to Hi-fi - been lurking for about a week or two - although lurking suggests I was much more laid back in my reading. Anyway...   Will be getting some ATH M50s soon, but the portable I plan to use it with, my 4th gen iPod Nano, is a little ****ed up. The audio jack doesn't work. So I'll...

    Headphone Sightings 2

    Just today saw a fellow student from my school popping on some AKGs as I walked towards the library. Couldn't recognize the model due to inexperience and being new to the hobby, but wow.. just realizing how many quality headphone appreciators there are at my school.

    Headphone Sightings 2

    I've seen an impressive range of decent to good headphones around my college campus. Paying more attention as I get deeper into this. A former classmate had the MDR V6,  some guy in the art supplies store just recently was wearing some M50s waiting in line, and I hope he didn't notice me...

    New to the audiophile world - M50, Pro700Mk2 or Other?

    Quote: Wouldn't even consider it. Anyways wasn't looking for a site to order, already do my own searching for reputable retailers online. Was interested in a brick and mortar location to try these out- so without being specific on where I live, wondered if there were any chains. Are music...

    New to the audiophile world - M50, Pro700Mk2 or Other?

    Over the past week or so I've been visiting the forums and other websites a lot looking into what'd be a nice replacement set of cans for my Sony NC-7 (actually thought these were good for a while, with the 'cancellation' turned on). I guess I owe it to my audiophile friend for dragging me in a...
