Has anyone ever seen a web page that talks about the bass frequencies of notes in popular songs?   Ever since I got my first sub many years ago, Going Back To Cali (LL Cool J) has always stood out to me.  Is that bass hit 40Hz?  60Hz?   Same with The Way You Make Me Feel by MJ.  Great...

Is Bose still doing that thing where they don't publish frequency response or other specs for their speakers?

OK, most people can't even agree if cables make a difference or not.  Now there are arguments of just the burn-in aspect of cabling...   If we say that cables make a 10% difference in the overall sound of a system, wouldn't burn-in of the cables be like 10% of that?

A few months back I was looking at the Cambridge Audio CA350C, the NAD C515, and the Marantz CD5004.  All are around $300.   I was leaning towards the Cambridge Audio player due to this-   "This is then coupled to Cambridge Audio's third generation proprietary S3 servo solution which...

Interesting read, thanks.

Nice find

The Shure SRH440 has a fairly flat frequency response, and they are marketed as studio headphones (for what that's worth).   I can verify that they seal really well, and I'm quite happy with the sound.  So much so that I went and bought their big brother, the SRH840s (which has more bass)...

I wonder if the Grado SR60s would fit the bill?  Might be worth your time to read a review or two.  They've won a ton of awards over the years.  

Your gear will sound better if you mount it on maple platforms-   http://mapleshadestore.com/feedback_mapleshadeplatforms.php   and   http://mapleshadestore.com/feedback_componentmountingsystem.php

What are these Cells things?

I saw the Onkyo player on Amazon.  It had good reviews (with lots of shots of the internals) and looked to be built quite well for the price, so I went for it.  Very happy with it so far.

Wow at the frequency response on the HD-600.  Might have to look into getting some of those.  :)

Nice.  Glad to know that a few of us still like CD players.  :)   I was in the same boat a few months back, and checked out players from Marantz, NAD, and Cambridge Audio.  I wound up going with an Onkyo C-7030 because I was feeling a little cheap ($200) at the time.

The two seem extra crazy-   "Headphones used to mix in every major studio."   Isn't that a flat out lie?   "Never interfere with the track"   Then wouldn't you want a flat frequency response?   Also, I think I detected a Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat reference in the original...

I haven't heard the Sony XB700s, but I've read about all that bass.  Check out the chart-   http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=1193&graphID[]=2941   edit- looks to me like the Sony headphones will rattle your skull.  :)

Fun thread.   I used to have a decent amount of Audio Alchemy gear.  At one point I think my setup was transport / some sort of anti jitter interface box / DAC.  They made this odd powered digital cable.   I recently put together a little headphones only system- just a CD player and...

Nice

Quote: So at what price point does a cable become better?  $100.  $200.  $500.  $1000?   The original poster was almost willing to drop $100 on a Monster cable.  What's your go to cable at that price?

Classic.

So now I'm a cashier at a grocery story.  Thanks for that.   I've been tinkiering with stereo equipment for many years.  I've tried cables from AudioQuest, Kimber Kable, Cardas, Analysis Plus, Mapleshade, WireWorld, Pangea, and even Monster (before I knew better).   I just happen to...

"When the UPS driver showed up at my house I noticed there was a rainbow following him as he approached my door."   So good.

Place your order soon!  Only 10 left in stock.   lol
