Not to plug my own selling post malveuax, but if your looking for a nice audiophile level TT I'm selling one right now due to financial problems: http://www.head-fi.org/t/577742/fs-month-new-pro-ject-debut-iii-white-turntable   Also in terms of keeping things clean, I would get some nice...

My 2 latest vinyl pick ups. Really enjoying them both a lot, for anyone into jazz guitar these 2 albums would be great. This is my first experience with this sound and I really like it, guitar + piano has an interesting cool vibe, unlike other cool jazz, unique in it's own way. wh     Wes...

I love your music taste.. listening to that right now too.

the horror...

My favorite Mingus album so far, I really like Blues & Roots, and Oh Yeah! But Mingus at Bohemia is really a triumph of jazz, I'm not quiet sure how to describe it but check it out, you won't be disappointed. :D

Thanks for the kind comments :) here's my speakers + whole setup (messy wires I know, any tips on how to keep them organized would be awesome, wires are really my bane) Heres a close up of my speaker + my attempt at drawing Benny Goodman in the background ^-^ Both great investments :)

Turntable: Pro-ject Debut III Turntable Phono: ART DJ-PRE2 Phono Speakers: KRK Rokit 5 Powered Studio Monitors Looking to upgrade my phono to the bellari vp130, but all my spending money is going to records at the moment :) and thanks :)

Totally Content With my turntable/speaker setup at the moment, just want more records :D

I love the can's under your speakers, pure gold.

Oh Man, Just picked up this 180g vinyl release at amoeba.   Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Ella & Louis     I used to think Julie London's - Her Name is Julie was my absolute favorite vocal jazz album, however this album gives it some serious competition. Ella's voice is...

Sibilance does not occur in real life.

When a topic can get 5 pages in less than 2 days on head-fi it tells you something. Seems like 99% of the new threads are exactly the same, this question has been answered over and over and over again, yet the frequency of this exact questions becomes greater and greater.

Do you have balanced headphones? If so, which ones? Not at the moment. If not, are you looking at balanced headphones or a balanced amp in the future? Yes I will either go balanced with my hd600 or later with my hd800 which I plan to buy in the future. For balanced headphone output, how...

Yeah definitely hoping for the best, this is the one I got, picked it up at amoeba new, thought I might as well take a chance, I love the original recordings so remastered couldn't be worse... I was wrong:     Same stuff unfortunately. But seriously best of luck, hopefully the mastering...

I hope I win :( my birthday is coming up soon, comon lucky birthday dice.

Quote: Be careful with those guys. I bought a Julie London 4 CD compilation from them with the same kind of cover and the mastering was terrible worse than the originals, sound dropping out, really bad problems.. From what I've experience I'd recommend against them.

Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds     Brilliant album from 1961, the song "Love Theme from 'The Robe'" has been sampled by nujabes. This album is wonderful and definitely one of my favorites. the mastering is wonderful, the music is exotic filled with reed instruments. Set's a wonderful...

My Humble rig :) Upgrading my amp and dac next, then my headphones probably to hd800's.  

Quote: Electrostats are certainly on my list of things to try. As for the LA2000 there were a couple things that didn't work for me. The mod never really completely cleared up the recessed midrange issue I had with the d2000's male voices and the lower female voices were still behind most...

  Quote: Yes.

Quote: I can't say anything beyond what I have experienced yet, and I have not experienced the $600+ range yet. My standard is neutrality and accuracy. A good headphone is defined by many things, a few of which for me are: Neutral mids, not recessed, clear, not nasaly, detailed, tonal...

Quote:   Right you are sir, I suppose my cut off than is when more money no longer increases sound quality. As for where that point is I have no idea yet.

Never, music is the second most important thing in my life, I would spare no expense getting the best possible quality I can, diminishing returns and all. Headphones stop being worth it when more expensive does no yield any SQ benefits.   This is for me alone, other peoples views on music...

A quick update of the begginings of my CD collection :) Really enjoying actually owning music, it is a liberating feeling. Thought I'd share :)  

Quote: Many of which are just upsampled mp3's.
