Anyone switch from MDR-V6 to HD25-1 ii?
Alright...this was the convincing I needed. Thanks a bunch for posting - it's good to hear from people with the actual experience of switching between one and the other. Now I just have to raise money for the switch. The options are: 1. Sell my D2000 (it has minor cosmetic cord fray -...- Dhw

Anyone switch from MDR-V6 to HD25-1 ii?
I'm considering switching from the Sonys to the Sennheisers for when I go to a cafe and want to listen to music while using my laptop. I've read that the Senns have excellent isolation, which I'd like, but I'm also hoping they'd be a bit more involving than the rather pleasant but...- Dhw

outlook of this site
I took a break from this site for awhile and have been poking around again - I find it much harder to find what I want on the front page (the basic forums) than I used to, because of the emphasis on sponsor links (whether links to websites or sponsor forums). I imagine there is a better way to...- Dhw

New REM album "Accelerate" - good fidelity?
I just got "Accelerate" today - it seems to be another victim of the loudness wars (especially when I flipped between a 256 kb/s track I ripped from an earlier R.E.M. album and a track from the newest). That being said, after tanking up on coffee, the first track made me want to kick a hole... -
What is your favorite Symphony?
I'm still only learning about classical, so my exposure is somewhat limited, but the ones that I can listen to over and over again seem to be Mahler's 2nd, 6th and 9th (the last movement is amazing!) and Beethoven's 7th and 9th (4-way tie). But I'm glad to see some love for Tchaikovsky's 4th... -

Wilco Sky Blue Sky
I picked it up on Tuesday - it's growing on me, but slowly. It took awhile for me to get into A Ghost Is Born, but I love that album now (the feedback solo at the end of "Muzzle of Bees" is sick!). Right now, "Side with the Seeds" is probably my favorite track off of Sky Blue Sky. I finally... -
Aftermarket Sleeves for the Audio Technica CK7?
I'm curious about this too - I just picked up a pair for my commute (they don't isolate out the Boston T perfectly, but I can at least hear my music now without blasting out my ears and the ears of everyone around me with my Portapros). I saw someone posted that they used Shure e2 tips, but then...- Dhw

Am i being stupid or do headphones sound better at night?
I'm doubting it has anything to do with power lines...thought I guess it could... I doubt this because my iPod sounds better at night as well as my stereo. I also remember this time I worked until 2 in the morning, and on the ride home, my car radio sounded absolutely amazing and it was just...- Dhw

Poll: Who Will Be Awarded The Next Knighthood Among Rock/Pop Stars?
Gah!!! Bono!!! "Did I mention in this interview that I'm a 'rock star' yet? Oh, I didn't? That's r-o-c-k..." I can't stand that man and his ego anymore. He'd suck his own toes if he could. You read correctly: toes. -

I can't track the package on the DHL website at all. I was reading about customs and public vs. private couriers, and it said one of the reasons using a private courier is more expensive than using the regular mail system is because private couriers (like DHL) often include in their price...- Dhw
