try the following bands, and make sure to keep an open mind: * Porcupine Tree (brilliant UK prog rock - Floyd's spiritual successor) * Killing Joke (one of the originals - UK post-punk and throbbing rock/metal) * Matt Elliott (elegiac subterranean piano dirges) * Tortoise (beautiful jazzy...

wow. Pom Pom released a CD? I remember buying a few of the early Pom Pom 12"s about 8 years ago. Didn't know who they were then and still don't know who they are now. Can't believe they've kept the anonymity up this long! Man, I need to get a copy of that. Will cosign that Gaiser's LP on...

Make sure to get Panacea's Low Profile Darkness.

Wow, well that's approx US$800 isn't it? Why are you looking at the 2xxx units when you could get the setup I mentioned (SRM-313 and SR-404) for the same price? I'm going to assume based on logical numerological progression that they're higher-end than the 2xxx setup.

What's your budget? Can you afford either the SR-303 or SR-404 intro system? (I forget what the models are - 3030 and 4040?) My introduction to Stax was an SRM-313 (I believe this is the amp that comes in the 3030 pkg with the SR-303's...) and the SR-404 earspeakers. Amazing sound. In...

Darker, harder... * Silicon Scally - Electrocide (crucial! oldschool! get it if you can!) * Anthony Rother - Sex with the Machines * Little Computer People - selftitled (this is Anthony Rother -- darker and harder than you would imagine it to be from the title.) * Carl Finlow -...

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted on head-fi. Good to see it's still around. Ads everywhere, but that certainly hasn't seemed to inhibit the site's popularity or success. My SR-007s have been sitting in a box for over a year, along with my Headamp KGSS. All I've used in the past 18...

it looks like I still have the best headphones in southwestern Ontario!

Wilfrid Laurier. Weather sucks.

After I got my Stax rig, I didn't really need to learn much else about headphones, so my posting has dropped way off. I spend all my money on clothes now.
