    Johnny Cash's versions of Hurt and Highway Patrolman come to mind immediately. Bobes

    The Detroit Experiment

    I was at Borders yesterday, home of overpriced pop and fluff, when walking thru the jazz section, I spotted The Detroit Experiement CD. Being familiar with the Philadelphia Experiment disc, I popped on the cans and selected the disc from the listening display... immediately I was blown away...

    Who has actually A/B'ed the PortaPros and SR-40s ...

    Can say that I A/B'd the SR60s and PortaPros... THought the Portapros while nice were to warm and did not have the clarity (read high-end detail) that SR60s have. That, and I didn't like how the metal hairband ate my hair...ocuh! Sold the PortaPros... Bobes

    NYC Head-Fi Meet at Grado Labs - May 17th !

    Well, I'm obsiously jumping into this thread very late. I would be happy with a bi-annual meet, or the mall thing seems OK, too. Count me in as a definite for November in NYC (or May if we go that route) and a maybe for the mall... Anyone want a ride from Long Island? I'd be happy to bring my...

    Cat ate my Grados!

    That certainly looks like an evil cat... would make excellent velour-like pads!

    Favorite Live Albums

    Great thread! Aside from the Johnny Cash Live at Folsum Prison, I have to say Widespread Panic's Light Fuse... Get Away! Possibly the best recording of a live performance every... a great mix of soundboard accuracy and audience energy! Bobes

    Under $100 cans for movies, music from Laptop?

    I second the vote for the PX200s. I find that they are driven quite nicely from my iBook and reproduce music and DVDs very well. I cannot comment on their in-flight use, but I notice that they isolate pretty well for me. I've not tried them but the PX250s may also be worth looking into. Bobes

    Sennheiser PMX 60 Info

    Based on the price points for the PX 100, I would expect these new "street-style-senns" to go for between $20 and $30. I have not actively researched these yet so I don't know if or when they will be available in the US. This is just a guess! Bobes

    first impressions of px200

    I find that placement of my PX200s is critical. The ear cups are so small that unless they are sitting just right, the character of the sound I experience changes. However I do not find the correct placement that hard to find, provided I am wearing them as designed... over the top of the head...

    DT-880 vs. CD3000

    Joe, Had my driveway not been covered with 5 foot high snow drifts, and I had read the thread earlier today, I would have gladly battled the blizzard to help you shovel, in exchange for a chance to audition your headphone collection. I'm jealous but we're probably equally exhausted! Bobes

    most annoying song ever

    Don't know if it was ever an official song, but my vote goes for the Hampster Dance! Bobes

    what was your first nice pair of headphones?

    AKG 401s... left me wanting soooo much more! Then the WOH tour came to Philly and my wallet has not been the same since! Bobes

    Eytomic? or Sennhesier for travel?

    For an "enthusiast" I would thing the 4Ps would be a little much but for isolation and sound quality they will probably be your best bet. Buy them and don't look back! Bobes

    px200 vs sr60

    I have had the PX200s since the first shipping from HeadRoom in December, they are well broken in, although I didn't give them the usual break-in treatment. But yes, they do improve greatly with break-in... give it a couple days and listen again. I do find that the characteristics that I...

    Tape recording

    I get the feeling that you want to use the tapes in a portable player? Yes you can do this, you need a soundcard with a Line Out and tape recorder with Line In or Tape In inputs. You should be able to find a tape recorder on ebay, cheap. Once you have everything, hook it up, press record on...

    px200 vs sr60

    I own both and each has a place in my collection. You could not ask for a comparison between two more different headphones! The SR60s to me sound fun... they are good with the highs and mids but lack impact on the low end. Some will say the highs are harsh but to my ears they are accurate...

    Constant V/amp Power Supplies

    I cannot be the only person with access to these on the board... so here goes. I have at my disposal several power supplies that are used to provide constant DC current or voltage (selectable)from a 120 AC source. I cannot speak for the "condition" of the power that comes from them, but I assume...

    Difference between $50 and $100 headphones

    I get to say it now... Welcome to Head-Fi, Sorry about your wallet! Is there a diffence between $50 and $100 headphones, that all depends on your perception. Will there be an improvement if you buy aftermarket headphones to replace your stock ones, definately. The price range for nice phones...

    Earphones for walking to/from class...

    I cannot speak for the PX250s but I can say that for outdoor/ in-motion listening I do not think the PX series is a great choice. Unless you have very small ears these will sit outside of your ears and not cover your entire ear. On a calm day this is no big deal but when the wind whips up, it...
