Beyerdynamic DT-250 VS. Custom One Pro ?
Just need some input on this: I own a pair of the DT-250 and I'm interested in getting the Custom One Pro. Would it be worth purchasing a pair of Custom One Pros? Is their modular sound signature worth getting versus another pair of closed 'phones? What do you guys/gals think? -Nylan- nylan8301

Rediscovering Brahms...help?
During my time as an undergraduate, I had a fervent hatred of Brahms. It was mostly due to his relationship with Clara Schumann, the wife of Robert Schumann.
