    The Decca Sound: The Analogue Years Boxed Set.

    I just recently picked this up as a birthday present to myself.  As we speak I am piping Verdi's Requiem through my stereo.  The sound is fantastic!!!!  It worked out to 2.40 per cd.  I am definitely going to be picking up more of these huge box sets soon.         This is definitely a...

    I just found a great set of pads for the Panasonic RP-HTF-600'S

    So the other day I was looking for some different and more comfortable ear pads for these wonderful cans. I had a pair of Shure 840 ear pads for my AT-M50'S laying around. So I decided to put them on the Panasonics. They fit perfectly. Sweat my ears way less. Most of all they do not alter the...

    Heavy music for Halloween

    Ever year around Halloween I get into the mood of listening to old-school death metal. I listen to it often enough but for some reason it is more effective around Halloween.  You know the pre-1994 stuff that focused more on murk and actual grimness as opposed to hyper blast blast blast type...

    Out of curiosity

    What low-impedance headphones do you guys find that scale really well when plugged into an amp.  I've tried the M50's through a receiver headphone out and through my Pa2v2 and I found that the Pa2v2, to my ears, tightened up the bass a bit and gave them just a tad more depth. So it seems that...

    Tax Time.....Time for a major upgrade

    Koss Ur40......Overlooked Budget phone

    So I have been searching for another new budget phone as I'm too afraid to take the plunge for the more expensive stuff so I stick to the cheapy phones. I noticed that the Koss Ur40 has had a few threads but nothing with a tangible review. So for the kids out there I will be review my pair. I...

    New headphones

    I have about 200-300 dollars coming to me here soon and am thinking about getting me a new set of cans. I'm currently addicted to the Jvc Rx700 as a closed can. I would definitely love to get me an open set of cans. I listen to metal, punk, hardcore, metalcore, deathcore, grind, other forms of...

    Acid Bath

    Just rediscovered When The Kite String Pops and Paegan Terrorism Tactics in my cd collection. Forgot how amazing this band was with a blend of death, southern sludge/rock. The singer has such a great voice. Also they had some of the more demented lyrics when they were around.

    Realistic/Koss Nova 55

    Just received these. I ordered them on a whim because they were cheap and have been enjoying vintage phones here lately. They are practically brand new. Suspiciously enough these have drivers that look a lot like ksc 75 drivers. And oddly enough they have a similar sound signature. Does anyone...

    Tsc HDPro7 Brief Impressions

    A couple of days back there was a post about 65 percent off Tsc headphones. Just out of pure curiosity I decided to give the HDPro7 a chance. Got them for 35 dollars shipped. Used to be 80 something. They just arrived today. First off I like the use of metal in the head band and connectors...

    Headphones for Hardcore(not the techno)

    I'm curious. I am thinking of getting anointed to the world of Grado. But what I'm unsure of is if they would be good for hardcore punk and mid-nineties metallic hardcore. Bands like Agnostic Front, New Day Rising, Converge, Strain, Fault and such. Now I realize that some bands like this have...

    Presenting the Frankenphone.....it's alive!!!!

    So I had an extra set of koss ksc75's sitting around and was on the look out for a new set of phones to use with the pc. I wanted to transplant them into another enclosure of another larger headphone. So I found an old radioshack headphone radio all in one at my local thrift store. I gutted it...

    Audio technica ad500's

    A week or so ago I bid on some ad500's and had asked about them. I got many replies saying they were the same as the ad 700's and such. Many saying they suck also. Here are some of my impressions without burn in. Right out of the box I like the sound of these. Not warm or overly colored...

    audio technica ad500's

    I'm bidding on some audio technica ad 500's. Haven't found much on them. I can get them for 49 some odd bucks shipped. Not too much of a hit on the wallet. What I'm wondering is how are these headphones? Decent? Bassy or trebly or more balanced. Any info would be much appreciated. I know that...

    Newb looking for clarity

    Howdy. I'm new here. I currently have a set of Sennheiser Hd 202's and I've gotten the upgrade bug. I listen to metal, hardcore, punk, metalcore, deathcore grind and other forms of extreme metal. Can anyone recommend me a new set of phones with focus on clarity, detail, and decent but not...
