Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Beethoven's Last Night

Hmm, I'll assume this is just physical CDs. I have all CDs by Switchfoot and Coldplay. If you count downloads, then Elton John, Beatles, Floyd and Simon & Garfunkel. Working on my physical collections for these.

Led Zeppelin I - IV Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy

Half Life 1 & 2 both have excellent techno. UT and UT2004 both also have excellent techno. Chrono Trigger has some of the best melodies I've ever heard.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Another vote for Donnie Darko. Silence of the Lambs OST is also by Howard Shore, and can get pretty creepy. Also, the music from Alien (original) is pretty creepy.

Yeah, I've listened to the Touch, Micro and Muvo, and all have split-second gaps. They're noticeable, but just barely so.

Another vote for the Touch. Good price, great battery life (I get around 18-20 hrs), good music navigation and good tech support.

Oddly enough, I used to hate almost any classical piano works. I'm a classical pianist myself, and love to play, but hated to listen. Now I've gotten well over that. Also, I hated any kind of "indie" stuff such as Modest Mouse or Wilco. The lyrics and strange voices scared me at first, but now...

Hum...that's funny. I thought this CD was pretty boring compared to older CB albums. And yes, while techno is repetitive, this one especially seemed to get on my nerves. It didn't seem too original either. Nothing really grabbed my attention like their other CDs. Oh well, flame me!

Classical all the way dshea! I'm still in high school, but I play mostly classical piano, and plan to major in it in college. I also stray into the world of pop and chord charts, but my true love is classical, especially a good Chopin Nocturne.

Hi and Merry Christmas to all! I got a headphone/speakers/mic switch from Radioshack as a Christmas present. I don't use my speakers that much, but enough that it IS annoying to have to crawl under my desk and switch plugs. I was wondering if the quality suffers w/ this switch. I'm sure it does...

I really don't know that much about EQ's and I wanted to use the expanded one in foobar. I was wondering if anyone could post a picture of a good EQ setting. I have the Sony V6s and was looking for a bit deeper/louder bass. I listen to rock, acoustic, soundtrack and classical piano. Thanks.

Could someone give a link to the Cmoy? I looked on HeadWize but I couldn't find anything. It must be an abbreviation. It's not that 1st "Class A MOSFET" is it?

What would be the minimum I would need pricewise to get rid of this? Will something like a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS etc be enough? Or do I have to fork out a lot? Thanks.

I just bought the V6 used and am very happy with them. My only problem is that on quieter songs, I can hear a very annoying hiss. Afer a quick search, I saw that this was because it reveals the true sound of the equipment. My question is, what do I have to do to change it? All i have is a...

Ok, thanks. Those guides were very helpful. But I'm still confused: is a store-bought CD the BEST quality you can have? And this process is just trying to replicate it? It just seemed to me that higher quality music could be found than store-bought CDs.

Another question I had, is when ripping regular audio CDs, will these only sound like 128ks, or if you rip them to 320ks, will they sound better?

My first question is about converting music bitrates. I have about 850 128k MP3s on my computer that I actually paid for. With better headphones, I have finally started to realize that this bitrate will not cut it for my sound needs. My question was, for the 128k files, can I use a program (I...

Hey all and thanks again! I got the foam replacements from RadioShack and wow, that about doubles the value for me. Also, thanks whoever recommended those Sennheiser 497s. They look like just what I am looking for.

Thanks for all the quick replies. 12 in an hour is impressive. So far I am probalby gonna go w/ either the grado 60s for their rock sound or the koss 35s for the price. Also, DanT are those foam replacement pads easy to install? Do you have to take off part of the earbud, or do you just put it...

Hello Head-Fi. As stated above, I am a very big headphone noob. Like every other noob that has posted, I want headphone recommendations (surprise, surprise). First, I was wondering if you guys have some sort of "good heaphones sorted by PRICE" list. All I could find was the general...
