Mr. Bungle - The Girls Of P*rn

Outkast - Red Velvet

Yes, I'm happy with my current gear (sig) and I'm going to keep them. There's still three things to get in addition to the gear I have now and after that I'll spend money only to get new music In the future I'll have get a new home CD-player to replace the over ten years old one I'm using...

Snoop Dogg - Drop It Like It's Hot

Wish You Were Here is my favourite. The Dark Side Of The Moon takes 2nd spot.

Faith No More - Smaller And Smaller

Ok, I'll play... In an effort to keep my list as short as possible, I'll list only some albums from early 1990's that haven't already been mentioned. Faith No More - Angel Dust (1992) First time I heard this album I was like "What the f#¤k is this stuff?!". It still is one of my favourite...

Amping improves MS-1 but they were ok also unamped on my iHP-120.

The Crystal Method - Starting Over

Quote: Originally Posted by philodox nope, havent had a chance to hear the porta corda... I know that the K271S are very picky with amps and sources though Then my source could be one culprit in the "artificial" sound that I experienced. Last time I tried them unamped, they...

I forgot to mention, I'm using modded Senn pads on the MS-1.

Damn. After auditioning most phones that were on my list I must admit that maybe I'm a Grado guy after all. Today I did some A/B testing with my MS-1. Rest of the gear used was my iHP-120 + Porta Corda MKII (I know the source is far from perfect but if phones sound good with this source, they...

Mudvayne - Some Assembly Required

Quote: Originally Posted by philodox I think that if you've heard the K271S and liked them you should steer clear of the AT line of products. And the K271S should be even better for you with amplification. You can probably rule out another set of Grado's unless you just reeeeaaaallly...

I have no problems with Grado ergos (with comfies and modded senn pads that is). If I decide to go for second pair of Grados, I'll probably go for MS-2's because I can get them at a better price directly from Alessandro. Local price for SR-225 in Finland is a staggering 370 euros, when I can get...

QOTSA - Auto Pilot

I'm a happy owner of Alessandro MS-1. Lately I've been using them mostly at work, so another pair of good phones for home use would be nice. That way I could leave the MS-1's to work and wouldn't have to bother carrying them around with me. I use MS-1s most of the time with my iHP-120 & Porta...

The Clash - Four Horsemen
