    There's My Supra...

    back in the old days when the AMP WARS were a-raging on head-fi, this amp was supposed to be "DA BOMB". some time later it came to light that these were so shoddily built they might actually BLOW UP. and when the HEAT was on the entrepreneur for not really delivering "THE GOODS" he made for...

    Modern composer recommendations?

    Quote:   Quote: rehabitat, good recommendations for the thread's title. but if you look at the actual first post and at what the op had in mind, listening to that final recommendation is prone to give the poor guy a heart attack   heyyoudvd, i i second the score for 'the...

    Best album of the 90s, everyone agrees.

    even more great albums! i agree, lots of competition for number two.   Quote: i wonder - are we poking fun at the thread starter, or at the unfortunates who don't agree, or at ourselves? and - is there a difference?   i mean, hallo spaceboy, there's a guy here called head...

    Best Albums of the 00s. Head-Fi Edition

    a truly worthy head-fi list - once again showing the high regard many headphiles here have for refined metal. shame on pitchfork for ignoring the likes of tool, opeth, agalloch etc. thanks to limpidglitch for keeping the thread in shape, much appreciated.

    A good year in rock music: 1991....pick your favorite album

    Better Hearing During the Night

    Unpopular/Uncommon Musical Opinions

    Quote: Originally Posted by catachresis Well, I have to agree with you that most pop-punk is just pop and utterly forgettable at that. But I gotta protest with an existential question that I still grapple with--Can I get a witness?--that we know that X's Los Angeles and Wild Gift, and...

    "Bleach" Underated, Unique, Unknown, Album? any of these? none of these? What are your thoughts?
