High quality sound from iTunes (running on PC) via USB DAC
Can't you just let foobar read the iTunes music folder? That's what I do for my MP3s. Granted, there are problems like: not seeing cover art; poorly tagged podcasts barfs on the album view- zChan

Albums that sounded better the second time
In my experience, all good music sounds better the second time, and even better the third time. So I listen to new music at least 6 times before I make a decision I like it or not. -

Upgrading my HD25-1 ii amp/cable?
Yeah, those are the ones. Silver/Black Dragons weren't around for purchase when I was looking around for a replacement. I bought the blue dragons when I was able to compare the HD600 cable and the blue-dragon at a meet . I did listen to silver dragons at a meet afterward though, and remember...- zChan

Upgrading my HD25-1 ii amp/cable?
I had HD25-1 with blue dragon, but I lost them during the holidays. where DID they go!? :( I stumbled on to this thread as I was looking around to see if there's any good alternatives or if I should re-buy them. Anyway, I sorta remember that the blue dragon tones the brightness down a bit from...- zChan

I don't want to see a live show ever again.
Usually its the venue. There are venues in Tokyo I think twice going to even if when the artist are awesome, like Duo Music Exchange or Yokohama Bayside. I never experienced good music there. OTOH, there are venues which I was never disappointed at, such as Studio Coast. Also, I try to stand... -

Anyone go to any gigs on there own?
I usually go alone, even festivals. I need music listening friends... I been to 6 concerts (New Mastersounds, Mew, Phoenix, Placebo, Ito Seiko/Soutaisei-Riron, Galactic) this year, and I only went to one (Soutaisei) with other friends. Of course, if anyone here is in Japan, I'll be more then... -
How do you organize your music?
I used to do genres by type of music. However, when I am first tagging, I haven't actually listened to the music, so I don't know the genre. Add to the fact that the changing tags later is a burden, it made me anxious every time I tag a new artist. So now I just organize them by the artist's...- zChan

How many listens do you give an album before you move on?
6 listens, usually on the go. At least once or twice straight through with my home gear as well. Sometimes music that was crap on the go sounds oh so awesome. -
