Grados get my feet tapping, while AKG gets my head swimming
I think the warmer bass and percussion presence of the Grado SR225 makes them more physically involving, getting my body to move to the music. After a while though, the constant evidence of the percussion starts to bother me. The AKG 501 has more depth and realism and makes me feel more like...- pentagonwizard

AKG K501 love...
Just finished putting my current setup together and I'm listening right now for the first time to classical on my darkvoice with using the K501 and it sounds fantastic. I'm getting great texture on the instruments, especially the bass. I would definitely call the sound "airey" too, which is why...- pentagonwizard

Just turned 21...Good drinks to order at a bar?
What are some of your favorite drinks to order at a bar and what's in them? Why do you like it? I liked an Irish Car Bomb I had. It's Guiness with whisky and Bailey's and it is smooth and yummy like a root beer float.- pentagonwizard

Recommend a Good Pasta Sauce
I really like the Trader Giotti's (Trader Joe's) brand Rustico Pomodoro pasta sauce. It's made with Italian plum tomatoes and has small mushroom and bell pepper chunks in it. It's higher quality than most other sauces I've tried, including Classico. But you can't beat Classico for the value, a...- pentagonwizard

Best headphone for listening to The Beatles?
Title says it. What is your pick for Beatles listening? There can be one phone that does it for the entire Beatles catalogue, or perhaps a different phone for the different eras and albums of their career (from the beginning mono simple rock, to the psychadelic, the poppy, the big production...- pentagonwizard
