I have heard the ear cup size is on the smaller side. The only pair of closed headphones I have on hand are Kingston Cloud HyperX gaming headphones which are as snug as I care to wear. Does anyone know how the TH-X00 earcups compare? I'm interested in these headphones (I always coveted the...

SVP I am looking for an album or collection with good recording quality and a good content. Thanks

I am having trouble tracking these downs. Most my time is spent in BC, now I am in Ottawa and will be in Montreal as well. Any stores with a good deal on these? Any stores carry them at all?

I misplaced my shure e2c's. When I realized where I had left them I go pretty worried. They were in my pants pocket and had gone through both the washer and dryer. I was pretty anxious and was shure that they were toast. I comforted myself with the fact that they were only $100 phones and not...

10 free songs (192kbps MP3 with DRM) from chooseyoursongs.com All you have to do is reply to this thread with the meaning of the phrase "nanu-nanu" and I will pm you a download code. Good luck

Okay I picked this up a couple months back along with Feist - Let it Die, Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise, and Pat Metheny - the Way Up. One of those 2 for $25 and 2 for $30 deals at HMV. Played it. Thought it was pretty good but never really gave it any more listening time. Well I picked it up...

All right classical lovers. What are your opinions on the budget eloquence label? How do they compare to your favourite recordings? Are there any eloquence recordings you particularly like? Are there any that you found to be dogs? I am curious about recording quality as well as performance...

I would like to get a custom mold etymotic earplug but I am having trouble deciding between the ER-15, 20, and 25. Anybody have experience using these? Is it too difficult to talk to people with the 20 or the 25? Does the 15 or 20 offer enough protection?

Did anybody happen to catch the African Guitar Summit II on CBC's Onstage this weekend? Absolutely astounding beautiful amazing music. Apparently there will be a CD released of the concert and there has already been a CD released of African Guitar Summit I which I will buy right away and am...

Just found this in my message box: Quote: Originally Posted by from the transcendant sound newsletter Dear Customers, Headphone Amplifier I have decided to go ahead and develop a headphone amplifier kit. People keep asking for it. It will be a simple open chassis arrangement...

A question to those in the know. What sounds better? The original CD releases or the remasters?

What do you folks prefer? Jewel Cases or Digipaks? Myself I am very fond of the digipaks. They are much lighter, don't crack or shatter, and most importantly feel good in my hands.

What are peoples thoughts on this album, both content wise and recording quality wise? Thinking of picking it up at futureshop for $9

For me it would have to be 'Butterfly', track 3 on Herbie Hancock - Thrust. Not only is it dripping with sensuality but it is just plain great all around. Anyone else?

Saw this over at audiogon. Now who is going to bite? Seems like the deal of the century. The guy spends $40,000 building the 'ultimate' headphone system, never even listens and offers it up for $27,000 on audiogon. All I can say is he sure picked a doosy(?) for his first sale.

Just wondering how important soundstage is to you when choosing phones. I'll Start: For me it isn't very important. Many of my recordings are done in studio on multitracks so they don't have a natural soundstage to begin with. I tend to look at reproduced music, and often music in general...

What are peoples thoughts on downsampling from 5.1 into stereo? Is it an accurate reproduction or should the stereo track of an SACD or DVD-A be used? I had a look at this thread over at hydrogen audio and it shows the horrors of compression and clipping. Apparently the DVD-A stereo track...

I've been revisting my fusion collection today listening to Weather Report - Black Market, Frank Zappa - Grand Wazoo, and Herbie Hancok - Thrust. Track 3, 'Butterfly', on Thrust has always blown me away. Is there any other albums or tracks out there that are reminiscent of this masterpiece?

Looking for a little help here. I few months back I heard a very striking track with gentle waterfall and tabla layered over top. I was told it was Talvin Singh. I can't seem to figure out which album it was from though. The Talvin stuff I have heard has had boomy bass and wasn't near as chill...

Comfort Whenever I am 'not feeling it' with my system I just sit down with a fine scotch or craft brewed beer, put on some low lighting and sit back in a comfy leather chair. Music improves like 100% and I just melt before it. Works for me anyways.

ARGUGRTHG!!! After posting in the The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema & Help Me Modernize My Music! threads I realized that I just have too much good music to listen too. I blame it all on recstar24 and his so called cure for upgrade-itus. I have spent roughly $400 on CD's this past...

Not really a right forum to post this in just chose amps because the traffic seems about right. Not too much nor too little. Anyways, just searching for a little upgrade advice. My current system: EVS Modded Samsung HD-841-->Atlas Questor IC's-->Gilmore Lite-->Grado HF-87/SR-225/SR-80...

Just wondering if anybody here has used or built a John Risch Power Conditioner. I have read a few reviews at Audio Asylum and they were positive. However, they all seemed to come from New Yorkers that were suffering from terribly dirty power. Everybody on the asylum seemed to have a big...

I have my cd player on vibrapods and it made a huge difference. Unfortunately since I have only one set I can't test their effect on the GLite very well. So what method of vibration isolation have people had the best luck with on their Gilmore Lites? What did you use? Wood blocks, metal feet...
