It's fascinating that we're about to recreate the Big Bang yet we still don't have a cure for AIDS or cancer. This could get entertaining though. You don't get to see a black hole eating up our planet every day.

Nobody mentioned 300. The movie has little substance (blame it on the comic book) but the photography is outstanding.

I wouldn't pay a company anything in advance on a promise. The manufacturer can't guarantee that the product will rise to expectations, without even a prototype. Here's something I've been thinking about for a while. How about some of the more knowledgeable members of this community team up...

Sennheiser Electronic - HDA 200 They're for audiometry.

Changing the cable should be fairly easy. A complete recabling may take some undocumented handy-work though, if you want to do it yourself.

The Hotel Costes series, you shouldn't miss this.

I enjoy the Cinematic Orchestra too and listen to a lot of nu-jazz but didn't find any similar artists. The "Assassination of Jesse James ..." soundtrack from Nick Cave & Warren Ellis has similar mood and feel, although it's more country/classical. You might like it.

I have no useful suggestion unfortunately, but leather on products bothers me too. Especially nowadays, when there are alternatives. I consistently avoid buying stuff that utilizes leather. It's the 21st century and we're still riding around in cars made of animal skin and trees. Not that...

The signs use the same font (although the churros one is scaled unevenly). So I'd guess it's the same seller. Anyway, hilarious, given the history of this on Head-Fi.

I haven't been interested in UE's stuff so far because I've always been using full sized phones, so I know little about how well they're built. But Logitech's name behind them can only be a seal of quality for their future products, at least as far as the build is concerned. I've had A LOT of...

I asked something similar a while ago (about headphone amps in general) then wished I didn't. Beware. Apparently the other motto over at HeadRoom is "Too much? Don't buy it." Not to take it out of context, you'll find Mr. Hertsens' original post on this page. This was about the $499 desktop...

I also remembered Orbital and Chemical Brothers. These are better known and closer to the roots of electronica, yet still innovative. But I haven't listened to them in a while and don't know what they're putting out these days. Aphex Twin and FSOL, mentioned before, are great. Quote...

If you haven't already, try Amon Tobin. It's probably exactly what you're looking for. You might also want to look into nu-jazz. Briskey is great.
