Albums that only exist in analogue
Hi there. I'm trying to build up a catalogue of analogue. Albums that can only be obtained on LPs, tapes and other analogue mediums, but never released digitally. Most of these albums will of course be very old and probably quite rare to obtain. I've attempted an online search but can't find...- Sound Quest

Open-Back headphones with bass
Ok, so I know the bass response on open-back headphones will never be as heavy as the bass response that can be achieved with closed back. To be honest, i'm not looking for heavy bass. It's just that with most open-back headphones i've tried, i've been left a little disappointed with the...- Sound Quest

The 12khz dip
I was comparing some high-end full sized headphones on the frequency response chart and couldn't help but notice a trend where theres a major dip around the 12khz region. I'm not all that clued up on high end audio. But is there a scientific explaination for this?- Sound Quest

Anybody else use "WaveGain Frontend"?
I remember a while back, I went on a search for a piece of software that could more or less do what ReplayGain does, but with lossless WAVE files instead. I came across a useful little tool called WaveGain which I believe works even better than ReplayGain. When ever i'm making compilation...- Sound Quest

More bass does not mean better bass!
Sorry, but feel the need to vent here. I see far too many threads on here from people asking questions about what headphones have the "most" bass, as if bass is the only thing that exists and that bigger bass means better sound quality. Sorry, but that's just so wrong. "More" bass...- Sound Quest

Headphones for "electronic music" if money wasn't an issue.
What headphones would you recommend for dance, trance, hardcore, synthpop....etc. If money wasn't an issue at all? I often hear the term that the headphone is "too slow" for dance music. So what high end "fast headphones" would you recommend?- Sound Quest

I like my audiobooks and i'm looking for a pair of headphones that are high on the comfort list so I can just drift off to sleep with them on. Sound quality doesn't have to be outstanding, just clear enough for speech and some light background music. What would peoples...- Sound Quest

DAC equalizers and clipping.
It's probably obvious, but do DAC's that have built in equalizers use a limiter to prevent the signal from clipping when you change the settings from anything other than flat? It's one of these daft things that's been bugging me slightly for a little while now. Obviously the shape of...- Sound Quest

SACD to PCM (Your own personal methods)
First off, I don't condone illegal copying or distribution. The SACDs I rip are owned and paid for in full. I'd like to share with you all how I like to rip my own SACDs which I think provide me with the highest possible standard. 1) The first step is backing up the SACD to an ISO on...- Sound Quest

AKG k702's and "lack of bass".
I've often heard this being said when there is ever a discussion about these headphones. Do they really lack bass? Or does it just seem that way at first if you're accustomed to more bass emphasized headphones? I took a look at the frequency response graph at headphone.com and...- Sound Quest
