thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Can't believe I missed that.

edit: my question has been answered. thanks guys All the US suppliers of replacement cables will not ship to Canada. All I need is a new cable for my HD650s because mine's not working. Where can I get a replacement in Canada? I really don't want to send in a service form to Sennheiser...

In a perfect world, I'd like to have something to put in my bedroom that connects to my DAC that I can control from my computer in another room and use to stream stuff. So I would play something on my computer, and it would play over my setup in the next room. If this doesn't exist I could...

Just dropped $190 on some new CDs the other day down at Sonic Boom in Toronto, walked home with Aphex Twin - drukQs Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today Autechre - Oversteps Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty The Clientele - Suburban Light Fleet Foxes - Fleet...

I said it once and I'll say it again: auto-tune can be used in an artistic way. A few artists that don't need it use it for artistic reasons. Examples: Bon Iver singing normally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePatJIwB-sI Bon Iver using auto-tune...

Rubies is infinitely better than Streethawk. Not that there's anything wrong with Streethawk, it's alright. It's just not Rubies or Kaputt.   Quote:

I agree, Modest Mouse likely learned a few tricks from them, but that's more Modest Mouse's early material. We don't know which albums he's talking about. Personally, I'd recommend Perfect From Now On first, but some people would certainly disagree.   Quote:

Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies Destroyer - Kaputt That's all I've bought in at least three years.

TNT and Millions Now Living Will Never Die by Tortoise, sure, but they're nothing like any of what the OP mentioned, aside from technically being the same genre as Explosions in the Sky. Try Mogwai's "Happy Songs for Happy People" and then "Young Team" (Happy Songs is more accessible, Young...

You're not seriously asking for an "indie recommendation"... People devote entire lives to trying to find the good indie out there. Plus, it's such a large umbrella of a genre, it contains a lot of stuff I personally guarantee you won't like. In any case, welcome to your new favourite...

I don't enjoy TOOL at all (used to when I was younger though so I get the appeal sorta) but I thought this was worth a mention. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJdrpifkht0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgdqizS5wCA It's not "like" TOOL but might appeal to someone who likes them.

Quote:   It's good that you said "most" and not all. A lot of alternative Country is worthwhile. To the country haters, listen to early Wilco. Or Neko Case. Or whatever. There's some decent country out there. For example...

Who hasn't heard of noise rock? Dude, it's been around since like the 80s (or, at least, popular since then, I'm not sure if anything technically qualified earlier than that). Also, no mention of Sonic Youth? Uh, what?

This is true, but to some extent the phrase is used improperly on purpose. It's kind of like when people call graphite lead, except more necessary. It's just used as a catch-all phrase for the manipulation that occurs after recording just because a lot of us can't think of what the actual...

Edit: It appears what I had to say has been said to death and possibly fixed. Checking now.

I stopped trying to tell the difference long ago. Hell, I don't even notice the difference between 128 and FLAC if I don't try. Nevertheless I try to aim for 256kbps just to be sure, but the point is, don't go to the extra trouble of getting FLAC for M50s. Don't go to the extra trouble of...

I don't agree with the M50s for rap. I tend to find rap has a lot of sibilance and the like and works best on headphones that emphasize bass and have really laid-back treble. The M50s are, in my experience, too sibilant for rap. I recommend looking for something with that low-end boom but also a...
