    Kickstarter TUBECORE DUO

    Not sure why people haven't responded to this yet. I was a funder on this project and am excited to see what Jason and Demetri come up with, especially in terms of which onboard phono preamp they use and what style of equalization circuitry they decide to implement. I'll post some initial...

    Denon AH-C300 Urban Raver and AH-C400 Music Maniac Discussion Thread

    I can post some impressions/a review (my first one, so constructive criticism would be appreciated). I'm actually about to put my barely-used pair up for sale here (EDIT: link), since I'm finding I just don't listen to them enough compared to my home set-up (an AH-D7000). Also, I'm a broke...

    What is the most comfortable headphones you've worn?

    They can get heavy, but Denon's D class is probably the most comfortable brand of headphone I've ever worn.

    your favorite musical genre?

    Extremely difficult to narrow it down. I'd say it's mainly electronic, ambient, hip-hop, neo-classical, and folk/indie folk. Yes, I'd say all of those are my favourites.

    Most over rated genre (major boring) Your experience.

    Quote:     No offence intended at all—in fact, before I make myself appear foolish with an illformed opinion, I'd love if you'd send me a few of your favourite post-rock tracks. My vote is not cast just yet.   The reason I list it is because so many hipster-types glorify it...

    Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!

    I've loved my D2Ks for a few years now. They were (are) my first 'audiophile' headphone—but now I'm thinking of upgrading to a 5000 or even a 7000 (if I get the grant I applied for ;) ), along with a DACport. Good idea?

    Most over rated genre (major boring) Your experience.

    Oh dear. I guess this is what people mean when they describe internet forums as "serious business". I'll answer the question. Chillwave, post-rock, and dubstep primarily... but they pale in comparison to witch house.

    What music is truly euphoric

    Quote: Lurking, as usual. Still a novice in terms of audiophilia, but an experienced music lover. Also, I consider myself an intern in the "school of wonder"; I live for this kind of yearning, almost alchemical music. Thanks for your kind words! Here's a few more songs.    ...

    What music is truly euphoric

    Quite a fair share of Peter Gabriel's music. "Up" (2002) in 24bit is oft-relied upon for my testing.   Shivers. Also, a ton of Röyksopp's music.   Jesus. If you can watch that video in 720p fullscreen (especially 1:52 onward) and not feel awed... you should get your nervous...
