some good piano music?
That's a pretty broad request, but... here are a few jazz albums that (1) feature piano, (2) sound great, and (3) are easy to appreciate for a beginner but are also great albums in their own right. Bill Evans, "Sunday at the Village Vanguard" or "Waltz for Debbie" (two parts of the same live... -

Quick Minimax CD player question
Geist, You might want to read the replies to a thread I started a few days ago asking the same question about the Minimax and the HD650s: http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=115344 The answer seemed to be yes, the Minimax can drive the HD650s with ease. Since the HD595s are...- riddley

Minimax CDP with 580/600/650s?
Does anyone out there have any experience listing to the Eastern Electric Minimax CDP headphone out with Sennheiser 580/600/650s? I'm interested in this player but I'm attached to my 650s and don't plan on getting rid of them any time soon. All the good reviews of the Minimax I've read focus...- riddley

Vivaldi Violin Sonatas - Recommndations
I've been listening to a set of the Vivaldi sonatas by a group called Cordaria. It's a very genteel, restrained and classical performance. I haven't heard any other versions but I would guess this would be the direct opposite of Manze. Personally I find the recording a bit boring although I... -
Trouble playing CD-R's
Burning CDs at a slower speed is supposed to make them easier to read. I've found that it's helped with a picky older player.- riddley

Other Music Like the Boredoms
Hi Rextrade Super Ae is one of my favourite albums. Great headphone listening too. Here are some ideas... There are a lot of Boredoms side projects or other Japanese bands with Boredoms members in them. A few to look out for are ooioo, omoide hatoba and rovo. Might be hard to buy, but you... -
recommend me music similar to modest mouse, the shins, the flaming lips, etc..
Califone. If you like Modest Mouse and Ugly Casanava, you should try to listen to Califone. They have a similar sound - Ugly Casanova and Califone have members in common. I recommend starting with Quicksand Cradlesnakes. If you like Califone, also check out Red Red Meat, which is an... -
Tube amp hum
I've recently got hold of a Cyber-20 tube headphone amp. I like it a lot, but one thing I've noticed is that on the "high" impedence setting the amp has a very faint hum. The volume of the hum doesn't change with the volume setting of the amp; it's just noticeable when the source is silent and...- riddley

Power cord plug question
But would having a adapter (European plug <-> Australian plug) in between the power plug and the wall socket negate the advantages of a better plug? -

Has anyone tried Consonance Cyber 20 by Opera Audio?
Yes, I've heard it - in fact I bought one last month. (I'm not suprised that the US distributors have run out - shows what the power of a positive review can do.) I like it a lot, and in fact I've been planning to post some impressions of it here, but the problem is I haven't heard any really...- riddley
