The Grateful Dead:  Skeletons From the Closet   But the first music I ever bought was on tape, and it was Bon Jovi: New Jersey.  And I still love that effing album.

Quote: This.

So I was having a discussion today about how digital delivery has changed how we listen to music, and most of the participants indicated that they didn't really listen to albums anymore, just individual songs.  Some of these guys are young, too, so the idea of listening to a whole album hadn't...

The record that got me into jazz was Holly Cole - Temptation, which is a tribute to Tom Waits.  Suggested tracks:  Jersey Girl or Little Boy Blue   For a wonderful intro to my favorite band, check out The Grateful Dead -  One From the Vault.  From the intro into Help On the Way -> Slipknot...

I was in Korea with 1-72 Armor (First Tank!) and was at home with my wife when a neighbor came over and told me to turn on the TV and get my gear ready.  The horn went off a couple hours after it happened and I spent the next two weeks carrying a loaded weapon around Camp Casey and listening to...

hodgjy,  I'm the guy who posted the other day.  I also posted on FH.  If there's anything fishy with these it's not me.   Kdarcia007, I ordered a pair which will ship on Monday.  I just checked ebay and the auction has ended with three still available.  Not sure why, but maybe I'm just a...

Joel, thanks again.  I probably can't find a nursing pad here, but something will turn up if it's necessary.  I'll also note that the brightness of my buddy's 702s didn't bother me, and they were right out of the box.  I might have a little hearing damage from too much time on the range ;)  ...

Well, thanks for the truly proper welcome Happy Camper ;)  The wallet will suffer, for sure, but I'm in Afghanistan, so screw it.    Joel, I read about the Kees mod, and I'm already scrounging for materials just in case.  We'll see what happens when they get here and I burn them in a bit...

reiserFS,   NP man, I probably overreacted a bit anyway ;)    Thanks for the welcome.

I guess I don't know how to respond to that.  Although, I will say that for as many forums as I'm a member of, this is the first time I've ever joined one and failed to get a 'welcome to the club, watch out for the flamers' post.  Or is that what yours was?  Have I misjudged this community?   

First, let me say that I've been cruising this forum for a few days now searching for info on a good set of headphones, and I've been really impressed with the quality of review and discussion here.    I'm new to the headphone world, and not really an audiophile per se, though I'm not new to...
