If you are into Flute music, there are whole bunch of those on youtube. Just type in Chinese Flute music,   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA2pgEUnrM8

Thanks for all the good music, wow there are so many out there. PM me your list if you have more. Emancipator & Brian Eno are the kind I'm looking for, please share more of those. :D

Hi, how is everyone doing? I rarely go on this site, and I am getting tired of my music collection. So, if you can kindly share your list of pure/relaxing music for studying that would be great!!   These are 3 tracks I liked the most,    You - Approaching nirvana Sabrepulse - Arcanine...

I'm open to suggestions for my next laptop speaker. I was looking into Audioengine A2 and Sony DB500, and almost hit the order button last night... But they are a bit pricey, idk I want something that lasts and worthwhile. I really liked Audioengine A2 (White), but not sure if it warrants $200...

I got this new sound card today, and after been waiting for God knows how many hours...I installed the card, took a shower, sat comfortably on my chair and played some songs off my CDs. All I can say is, WOW, I can literally TASTE music!! Well, maybe not taste music, but at least it feels like...

Currently playing League of Legends. Around 860wins and 1378 rating. :( pretty low, I know.

I'm still waiting on mine :( I order them couple days ago, and they are shipping from east coast...What amp are you using for the HD598? I had never drop this much on headphones, hoping this will be much better than my Sony MDR-EX57LP earbuds.

This is same as persuading a PC builder to switch to Mac platform. I found Mac's overpriced too, but what can I do about it? They are good for professional use (e.g. business people) But there's a catch, I think the only Macbook that worth the price in their lineup probably goes to MacBook Air...

So do I necessary need an amplifier for Sennheiser HD598? What is the difference without using amp? The thing is I don't have enough money to spare after spending it on this headphone, but I will save some if using an amp can improve the overall sound quality. Thanks.

Thanks for the input, parall, hairphone. I will stick with earbuds when I am out. If I do get HD598, I will only use it at home. I wouldn't consider buying an amp unless there's huge difference. I want it simple, plug and play. I will update those tomorrow, slepy

Hello, how's everything been going? I'm fairly new to this whole audio world as I know nothing more than driver units. I figure my knowledge to this area is non-existence compare with you folks. That's why I am here, hopefully you guys don't mind to share your insights.    So I have been...
