    who is the greatest virtuoso?

    Buddy Rich. Come on, people. Perhaps I wasn't reading this thread closely enough, but it seems I might have been the first to mention his name. In fact, I've heard it suggested that Buddy Rich was not only the greatest Jazz drummer to have ever played (somebody else mentioned Max Roach -...

    This is what I use - it's Case Logic's universal MP3 case. It's excellent. and zipped up (*most of the way)

    Headphone Shops In NY?

    I was just at B&H - and while they have a HUGE selection, you can't audition any cans. I've also seen the big wall at J&R, but the cans are all plugged into the wall being fed by the same source and it's hard to know where that's coming from. Perhaps they'd let you pop in yr. own CD, I dunno.

    Who is not going to HeadFest? Why?

    I live on the East Coast, and, frankly, this is still a relatively new hobby to me. I could justify neither the time nor expense to the better half. However, it looks like it's going to be an amazing confluence of industry reps., headphoners and - perhaps - media types. As a freelance...

    Get me over the hump: Senn HD650s or Beyer DT-880s?!?!

    That's what I figured would happen if I also got the 650s. I mean, these are the top cans in each product line. I suppose you could develop a preference for one over the other, but it seems unlikely you could deride either as sounding "bad." I had a great listening session last night and am...

    Recommend some good Blues Acoustic

    Kelly Joe Phelps - Shine Eyed Mr. Zen - incredible. just incredible. John Hammond Live - outrageously good guitar/harp/singing performance.

    Get me over the hump: Senn HD650s or Beyer DT-880s?!?!

    Yeah, G.D., I have to agree with you... I'm noticing things I haven't heard in many song before, but shuddering at anything less than 340kbps in my iPod - and even those aren't as pleasing as the lossless files. But AIFF and Apple Lossless tracks are just a joy to listen to.

    Get me over the hump: Senn HD650s or Beyer DT-880s?!?!

    Hey, all... Mine arrived on Tuesday. I had houseguests immediately afterwards, so I haven't had the time to really explore their sound. My initial impressions were that they were crystal-clear but a tad lacking in the low-end initially... BUT after even 24 hours of burn-in, there was a...

    Impedence Question

    Why not email the fine folks at Headroom? Seems they're always happy to help - and would have the definitive word considering they designed the amp and sell the 650.

    cheapest place for HD650's...

    Try B&H photo/video. I recall they had a decent price on the 650s. Amazon went through the roof recently and I can't figure why.

    Don't want an ipod. Any audiophile alternatives?

    Or, apparently, grammar for that matter...

    Don't want an ipod. Any audiophile alternatives?

    You don't want an iPod?!?! What're you, a Communist?!?! Just kidding.... but it's true that for line-out options, it's tough to beat a machine with 70 percent of the market share.

    Get me over the hump: Senn HD650s or Beyer DT-880s?!?!

    According to the web site, it's the 2005 version, so we're cool. I'll check out TTVJ for future reference, tho. Thanks.
