$1225 was the price for a pair on e-bay 3 weeks ago.

Hi, I put a WTB for HP-1000 in an online Norwegian Hi-Fi forum three days ago without having too high hopes. But, yesterday a guy sent me an e-mail saying that he would consider selling his pair. They are in good condition. He is going to take some pictures and send to me tomorrow. They have...

A packet of cigarettes in Norway is $9.78. Yes, honestly. So having done some quick calculations I've figured out I've spent approximately $10k over the past three years. This makes Hugo's possible investment look very sensible in comparison. Those of you who thinks he's nuts just by considering...

Hi Comet I'm gonna beat all the headphoneus supremuses to it and say welcome to head-fi. Sorry about your wallet. Cheers!

Hi, There's been quite a few threads already on Zappa related stuff. It means many of you fellow head-fiers appreciate the musical genious of this man. So, it's about time he gets his own appreciation thread. Anything from favourite albums, melodies, lyrics, anecdotes, versions, concerts...

I'd recommend the Mozart sonatas played by Alfred Brendel in his 2001 recording (Philips). And, being a norwegian, most of Andsnes recordings are recommended

Hi, I'm new to this thread. You guys really know your Mahler recordings. So, here's a question. I'm very fond of Symphony 8 with Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Chorus as well Symphony 9 with Claudio Abbado and the Berliner Philharmoniker. Could you point me in the right...

If you don't intend to buy an amplifier I'd recommend you have a look at Grado phones and various IEM's.
