Game of Nerds
Guys, if you're into trivia join this site (and add me as a friend if you want) ;) http://www.gameofnerds.com/?ref=4ba5d36 Basically, it's just a glorified trivia game site with a social networking aspect. You can play the trivia games with actual friends you've added or "celebrity hires"...- fuseboxx

Which artist most closely approximates the sound of your inner being?

Ambient Dub Techno --- what's the best of this genre out there?
Posting this thread because Deepchord Presents Echospace's Liumin and The Coldest Season blew my mind. I looked for purely Dub Techno albums, but stuff like Basic Channel, Pole and Maurizio just aren't doing the trick. I think I really need that deep, atmospheric ambient factor in the music to... -
Do you often enjoy listening to new or old music more?
So we have three poll options: 1) new music - meaning music recently released that you're hearing for the first time 2) old music - meaning music from years/decades centuries past that you're hearing for the first time 3) familiar music - meaning new or old music you've already listened to... -
Most Cohesive-sounding Albums?
Some people have problems with albums that sound as though they're just a dozen songs plucked out of a huge pot willy-nilly, strung together, and packaged onto a disc. It's great if those songs are good in themselves, but I think there's something to be said about songs of the same quality... -

The RIP Thread (a place to pay respects to the recently deceased artists)
Just thought a general thread to consolidate the shared news of the passing of musicians might have a place in this forum. On that note... RIP Bert Jansch (3 November 1943 - 5 October 2011) :( Must play Basket of Light tonight in his honor. -
If I have opposite sex twins, I will push for them to be named Belle & Sebastian --- thoughts?
Could be a good idea. What do you think? If you were to name your offspring after artists, what would you name them? -
The TV Thread (What's on your television?)
A general thread about what you've been seeing on TV lately. Like a "rate the last movie you watched" for films or like "what are you currently listening to?" for music. I think this is an opportune time since the summer season is ending and the fall season for programs is starting. Me, I'm...- fuseboxx

HBO's "Game of Thrones"
Based on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series. It's fantastic. It's not without fault since it can come across as rushed in parts, but that's more because of the limitation of the medium rather than the fault of anyone involved with the show. The set pieces are magnificent and...- fuseboxx

Best DAP that's also good for videos
My top 2 choices right now are: Cowon J3 Nationite S:Flo2 I'm looking for a DAP that: - can play AVI video and MP3 audio - doesn't need the inconvenience of a program (like iTunes) for your PC to interface with the DAP - FM radio is a plus, but just nice-to-have and not a necessity - is not...- fuseboxx

Buying Vinyl Records for Dummies
In the interest of saving storage space, reducing clutter in my house and shifting to a format that I prefer for selected albums, I'm seriously considering selling all my hundreds of CDs and collecting vinyl copies of my favorite albums instead. The problem now is that I know very little... -
Folk Artists in the vein of Jackson C. Frank, Davy Graham, Bert Jansch & John Renbourn?
I would mention Nick Drake in the thread title since it's from a documentary of his music where I discovered these artists, but I think that if I included him in the thread title, all sorts of folk artists NOT like those in the thread title will surely be recommended. So anyway... More like... -

Justin Bieber 800% slower...
...800% better. Not sure if the crowd here is familiar with Bieber, but someone went and made a version of his song "U Smile" 800% slower... More or less in the same fashion that Hans Zimmer slowed-down that Edith Piaf song for Inception. Anyway... it's glorious. Sort of like Sigur... -
Coltrane, Mingus, Monk or Davis?
Jazz of course. I think in terms of quality and quantity of contribution to jazz, it doesn't get better than these four. Who do you think is the best though? TBH I only added Monk as an afterthought and planned to make this only about Mingus, Davis and Coltrane, but I figured he's... -
Albums that sound like "Muddy Waters - Folk Singer" and "Son House - Father of Folk Blues"?
Looking for more Acoustic/Delta/Country Blues that is in the same vein as the two albums mentioned in the thread title. Please suggest. Thanks! -
Audiophile Post-Rock?
I hope there are a few post-rock fans here who can contribute. If you have any specific post-rock track or album that comes to mind, which is excellently recorded, please do suggest. The only albums I can think of off the top of my head, that might be okay are: This Will Destroy... -
Amps vs DACs
Simple question: Based on your experience (and/or what you might have read), what characteristics of sound do amps usually enhance and what do DACs usually enhance? Are there certain characteristics that are usually attributed to either component or do their effects on audio overlap?- fuseboxx

Reference Albums Compilation Project
Sorry for the thread title being incredibly presumptuous, but this is at least what I hope to achieve. I did a search for "reference" and saw so many threads asking for reference albums, and just by reading all those threads, there are some obvious ones that are commonly mentioned. I was hoping... -
Best setup you can recommend for < $500?
I suppose the first thought that would immediately comes to your mind before recommending anything would be: "What do you listen to?" And off the bat, I'd like to say: "Don't think about it." Just consider the overall presentation in sound quality of best setup you could think of for under...- fuseboxx

Is it easier to spot differences in SQ when upgrading or downgrading?
Just something that occurred to me lately with regards to audio setups: It seems that for me, the differences in sound quality between listening chains become more apparent when I shift from a superior to an inferior setup rather than the other way around. When I'm moving from a higher-end...- fuseboxx

Radiohead LP8 is coming soon
That's all, really. It's coming soon. LINK Quote: How much do you guys think do they have left in the tank? Are they due for a stinker? As far as the poll goes, I think this upcoming LP will be a mid-tier album --- better than Pablo Honey, Amnesiac & HttT, but worse than the rest. -
Rome
Just curious if anyone here is familiar with the band Rome? They're a martial industrial band from Luxembourg and they incorporate elements of traditional European military marches with Neoclassical Darkwave, Dark Ambient, Industrial, and Neofolk. More intriguingly, I find their albums to...
