I am with MacDEF. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area we are certainly overindulged with the music of Train, being as they hail from this area. I have their first album, but as yet have not succumbed to the Drops of Jupiter album. However since Jude's review I think I will. I think it is...

sackley, I found the 600's a little too laid back for me, but spiced-up with the addition of a DAC. The RS-1's really didn't give me enough stimulation to warrant the price, but may be great with your set-up (less treble response than the 225's, more defined bass). The 3000's sound...

chych, I recently auditioned the Homegrown "Silverlaces" and I found them to be very bright to the point of exhaustion. However I haven't tried the "Super Silvers". If you are looking for a good match for the DT-831's I would stay away from the silver cables. I am thoroughly enjoying the...

lini, I would be in interested to know whether you use silicon or foamies...? I must say that is a most innovative way of producing of bone conduction!

I was in Best Buy the other day and happened across this album. It was priced at $9.99 as some kind of artist introduction deal. The album is great. Pete Yorn has a kinda David Gray quality about him with a Duncan Sheik sultriness, coupled with a David Byrne twang. He writes both the...

At least I know I am not the only one here enjoying Naxos recordings! They actually have a pretty good Web Site which allows you to register for their monthly newsletter. The newsletter is sent in e-mail form and provides complete updates of recordings in process and new releases. I agree...

Tides, congratulations on your new player. I for one can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Enjoy! P.S. Please let us know your thoughts on the DCM-370 after you have had a chance to give it a good listen.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Todd at Headroom on a couple of occasions. Each time the service and advice was superb. Even during a couple of TA problems I had Todd was cordial and amusing and always customer oriented in his approach. Hey I think my UPS story beats 'em all. They...

Hi scdavis, My entry to the headphone world was also the SR-80's! I have been a Creek OBH-11 owner for quite a while now (which I opted for after disappointments with the TA), there is no doubt that it is a great little amp for under $200. However, I found the Creek to be a damper for the...

Hi Matt, I got my Tara Labs RSC-Primes from these people. Fortunately they are a local company for me, but I do know that they ship. They have been Tara Labs representatives for many years, and hopefully they will be helpful if you contact them. http://www.sfstereo.com/ Good Luck!

I was living in England during 1963 & 1964, and trust me when I say "Yellow Submarine" became totally obnoxious! - Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells" - Alice Cooper "Welcome to My Nightmare" - David Bowie "Space Oddity" & "Ziggy Stardust" - Roxy Music "Avalon" - Steely Dan "Aja" - Elton John...

LOL...Maybe it would be a good idea for us each to illustrate in our profiles:- - Ear infections we had as children. - Tonsilectomies - Adenoid removal - etc. The we could get a "true" idea of each person's auditory inadequacy and go from there... Just a thought!

I am a Sony MDR CD3000's lover. However they are closed, and have caused some hair-raising moments and missed phone calls. I was looking for an open phone that would create a lively response with tight bass and some punch. The Senn 600's were a little too laid-back for my tastes so I...

What I love about music today is that everyone is now involved! When I was young (back in the dark ages), you rarely if ever saw people older than 25 in a record store. Now during my frequent browsings I see seniors of all ages enjoying a good search through the genres. What is more, many of...

Give those puppies at least 50 hrs. before making any kind of judgement, and 100 hrs. for a real feeling for their abilities.
