I am with MacDEF. Living in the San Francisco Bay Area we are certainly overindulged with the music of Train, being as they hail from this area. I have their first album, but as yet have not succumbed to the Drops of Jupiter album. However since Jude's review I think I will. I think it is...

sackley, I found the 600's a little too laid back for me, but spiced-up with the addition of a DAC. The RS-1's really didn't give me enough stimulation to warrant the price, but may be great with your set-up (less treble response than the 225's, more defined bass). The 3000's sound...

chych, I recently auditioned the Homegrown "Silverlaces" and I found them to be very bright to the point of exhaustion. However I haven't tried the "Super Silvers". If you are looking for a good match for the DT-831's I would stay away from the silver cables. I am thoroughly enjoying the...

lini, I would be in interested to know whether you use silicon or foamies...? I must say that is a most innovative way of producing of bone conduction!

I was in Best Buy the other day and happened across this album. It was priced at $9.99 as some kind of artist introduction deal. The album is great. Pete Yorn has a kinda David Gray quality about him with a Duncan Sheik sultriness, coupled with a David Byrne twang. He writes both the...

At least I know I am not the only one here enjoying Naxos recordings! They actually have a pretty good Web Site which allows you to register for their monthly newsletter. The newsletter is sent in e-mail form and provides complete updates of recordings in process and new releases. I agree...

Tides, congratulations on your new player. I for one can guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Enjoy! P.S. Please let us know your thoughts on the DCM-370 after you have had a chance to give it a good listen.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Todd at Headroom on a couple of occasions. Each time the service and advice was superb. Even during a couple of TA problems I had Todd was cordial and amusing and always customer oriented in his approach. Hey I think my UPS story beats 'em all. They...

Hi scdavis, My entry to the headphone world was also the SR-80's! I have been a Creek OBH-11 owner for quite a while now (which I opted for after disappointments with the TA), there is no doubt that it is a great little amp for under $200. However, I found the Creek to be a damper for the...

Hi Matt, I got my Tara Labs RSC-Primes from these people. Fortunately they are a local company for me, but I do know that they ship. They have been Tara Labs representatives for many years, and hopefully they will be helpful if you contact them. http://www.sfstereo.com/ Good Luck!

I was living in England during 1963 & 1964, and trust me when I say "Yellow Submarine" became totally obnoxious! - Mike Oldfield "Tubular Bells" - Alice Cooper "Welcome to My Nightmare" - David Bowie "Space Oddity" & "Ziggy Stardust" - Roxy Music "Avalon" - Steely Dan "Aja" - Elton John...

LOL...Maybe it would be a good idea for us each to illustrate in our profiles:- - Ear infections we had as children. - Tonsilectomies - Adenoid removal - etc. The we could get a "true" idea of each person's auditory inadequacy and go from there... Just a thought!

I am a Sony MDR CD3000's lover. However they are closed, and have caused some hair-raising moments and missed phone calls. I was looking for an open phone that would create a lively response with tight bass and some punch. The Senn 600's were a little too laid-back for my tastes so I...

What I love about music today is that everyone is now involved! When I was young (back in the dark ages), you rarely if ever saw people older than 25 in a record store. Now during my frequent browsings I see seniors of all ages enjoying a good search through the genres. What is more, many of...

Give those puppies at least 50 hrs. before making any kind of judgement, and 100 hrs. for a real feeling for their abilities.

hongda, jude had commented that the Audio Quest Corals had worked well for him, it maybe worth checking into. The Silversonics are one of the warmer silver cables, but perhaps not what you're looking for. GOOD LUCK!
