    What book are you reading right now?

    Your question was fine, it is good that you got a spoiler free review, be aware of Amazon they never use spoiler tags. Oh yeah, this book is quite dark and vicious, try to read chapter before purchasing. Enjoy the book.

    JDS Labs C5 vs Fiio E12 v1 - My impressions

    I actually cannot find the C5 vs C5 now. I'll take another look and edit this post. I understand the bass boost concept you mentioned, in some of the comparisons, people mentioned if the C5 had the correct response from the bass boost (like the E12) it would be a perfect amp in this range...

    What book are you reading right now?

    I've only watched Gone Girl, but Flynn was involved in the screenplay so it should play similar to the book. I think you'll be right at home in terms of Dark Places, she has a style that travels between books- like she is writing all of them at the same time. Very similar unraveling of plot and...

    JDS Labs C5 vs Fiio E12 v1 - My impressions

    Very nice review. What you've written here echoes all the other impressions of the c5 being the better amp overall, while the e12 has a better bass bump. You are right that there aren't any dedicated threads to these two, but that's due to the quality of the C5. I know there was a bigger...

    Definitive List of Well-Recorded Rock Albums

    No problem, just took the cd out of my collection and have listened to it twice every day. Great stuff. Agreed about their later sound, going to look into the album they released a few years ago.

    What book are you reading right now?

    Finished Dark Places by Gillian Flynn last night. Pretty decent book. Felt kinda dirty and wanted a book to uplift me from the cruel book, but, I picked up Lolita. A dark week for reading.

    Definitive List of Well-Recorded Rock Albums

    Glad to see The Cranberries up there with No Need to Argue. Can't believe the sound on that album. If we're counting Kate Bush as rock, don't see why The Sensual World isn't up there. Prime work on an excellent album, the first album where her control in the studio was put to the limits and it...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Do you ever have the feeling like they aren't on your head while listening? This is clearly an area I neglected. I've got a smaller head so the pads should be good. Is the clamping force tight on your head? I plan for these to only be used outside of the home.

    Looking for <100$ (CAD) undestructible Earphones/Earbuds

    This is pretty tough as you can either get one or the other- sound or durability in this range. As a fellow Canadian I understand about our lowly dollar. The RHA line is among the top of the line in terms of durability (also coming with a 3-year warranty). Bass rolls over into the mids and...

    Hello all, I've been lurking for a few months now, and while my wallet is fat I've decided to join. For the next few months I have my eyes set on V-Moda m-80, Dt-880 600 ohm, and Mr.Speakers Alpha Dog. The reviews on Mr Speakers all shine bright and is one of my more anticipated purchases this...
