Are there any pop/rock recordings made in 2017 that are not part of the loudness wars that actually have proper dynamics?

I'm looking to replace a pair of Beats Studio 2.0 headphones. These no longer hold a charge well enough and they are not easily repairable. I want noise cancelling with good sound and not too expensive. I want something that will last.   Thanks.

I'm looking for free software that can get the difference between two tracks. I'm looking for software that can handle different bit rates. I'd like to be able to diff 16/44.1 with 24/XXX. Free would be best. I'm running Widows 10. I do have access to Adobe Audition CS6 is that will do it. Thanks.

Anyone interested in some sort of a get toether in the Boston, MA area? Nothing fancy and nothing special. Just a bunch of us getting together someplace and doing whatever? Jon

I currently have a PA2V2 that I use with my Koss PortaPro & Sennheiser HD580 to go with the line out of my Rio Karma. Question is.. Will I be better with a GovIbe 5 as an upgrade or should I stick with what I have? I'd like to get some detailed anser(s) if possible please. Jon

I don't know what other section to post this in so I'll post it here. What I would like to get is a list of countries where the USA has trade restrictions on audio parts/equipment. I don't want to risk selling something here to someone who can't buy it and ending up getting screwed. Thanks...

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD580 headphones and I am slightly modding them (cheaply) by changing the grilles to HD600 grilles (already done) and soon changing the cabling to HD650 cable. My question is this.. how would this new setup sound in comparison to a true stock HD600? Am I getting the...

I'm interested in how good the Zu Pivot mini to rca cable is. Someone I know is thinking of buying one in 1m or .5m but wants to know if they are any good.

Does Rockbox support replaygain? Jon

I'm thinking of recabling my Sennheiser HD580. What I've like some advice on is the best way to pull out the old cable and put in the replacement cable. I have opened up the cans. So that's not an issue. It's how much pressure to pull out the cable and where's best to hold onto things. Thanks!

When your hair has grown long enough to cover your ears enough to get in between the headphones and your ears, what do you do? The sound very well may be changed in a way that's noticable. Do you move it behind your ears and then put on the headphones? Do you get it cut when it's long enough to...
