I think any bass heavy genre will break them in just fine. Maybe a dub step pandora station?

Both are just different terminations of an analog stereo connection. 3.5 is just smaller and combined into one.

Are you on Spotify? I have a public playlist called "Minimal/Ambient/Drone" that you can subscribe to. It currently has 636 tracks and over 2 days of songs. Also, it already has all 3 artists mentioned and then some.

I never really thought of myself as a "midrangehead" but I own 3 phones and they are all on the list:  Koss KSC-75 Meelectronics a151 AKG K501   Love them all. They all have different purposes and excel within their intended application. Also, I love the fact that, brand new including...

The nuforce has rca outputs. The fiio has a 3.5mm stereo jack. They can be used for the same thing. You would just use different cables for each one. Both are usb dacs with headphone amps built in. I can't speak to the quality of one vs the other, as I've heard neither.

I have had windows computers my whole life and used winamp from 1997 until about 6 months ago when I switched to an Apple laptop. At that time, I had a bunch of FLAC files. I just converted those into ALAC so that I could use iTunes. I was really excited when I heard about this mac release. I...

I just counted 601. That's between Vinyl/CD/SACD/Mp3/FLAC. That's actually a lot less than I thought. It seems like I have a lot, but I guess not. The thing I love about jazz is: most of my music is by people who we have all heard of (Coltane, Davis, Monk, Adderley, Weather Report, Brown...

Very true. Jam band fans are quite elitist and very polarized in opinion. Just like gratefulshrink, I say start with early Dead (LOTS of material to sift through) and work your way from there. The term "Jam Band" is kind of like "Jazz", in that, just saying "I like jam band music" doesn't really...

I own Acculine A2's, which use a planar magnetic tweeter in a MTM arrangement. They are 350 a pair. The acculine A1's are the same thing except it's a MT arrangement. They are 250 a pair. Go to theaudioinsider.com to check out specs. I think they sound phenomenal for the price I paid.

Ditto. They made both my optical and my speaker cables. Both are good quality cables. Although, I have to say that my speaker cable (14 ga) is VERY unflexible as well.

I just bought this sub: Parts Expressayton SUB-100 10" 125 Watt Powered Subwoofer $105 shipped I bought this sub cable to go along with it: Parts Express:Subwoofer Cable 13 ft. This setup suits me perfectly well, especially for the price paid. I'm upgrading in the near future, but...

I exchanged gifts with utarch00. He gave me 2 CD's. One is Zero 7's Simple Things. The other is Puscifer's "V" Is For Vagina. I was familiar with Zero 7 through the song they had in the Garden State soundtrack. So far, I am very much enjoying the rest of their music as well!! Puscifer is quite...

Check out Clifford Brown. He was an amazing trumpet player. If he hadn't died so young, Miles Davis probably wouldn't have been as popular. Brown was miles (pun def. intended) ahead of Miles when he died in 1956.

I would like to join. I would prefer CON US. I would exchange either CD or Vinyl. I listen to a lot of jazz. So (whoever gets me), don't get me any jazz cuz I prob. have it already. I like bluegrass, electronic, hip hop, indie, world, etc. In the last 4 hours, I have listened to Sigur Ros...

In order of preference (pretty much the same as Wmcmanus): Vinyl SACD FLAC CD MP3 In order of actual use: FLAC MP3 Vinyl CD SACD

I demoed the Triport and Triport OE's at my work (an electronic retailer....no, not THAT one) and I thought that they were pretty good. Are they better than my AKG k501's? No, but they could also be driven well by my iPod while the AKG could not. If I was a business man who traveled by plane a...

Not sure if I would consider these guys mainstream, but it hardly matters. One should never listen to something because of how popular or unpopular it is. Now I know that most people would never admit to being swayed by the masses preferences, but 90% do it. Back on track, check out Agaetis...

harry potter and the order of the phoenix hd-dvd combo 180 gram jazz vinyl logitech harmony 360 remote cologne books *most stuff I REALLLLY want is kind of expensive so I will be buying it for myself

I really can't remember all that has been suggested so far. Here are my suggestions: Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Van Morrison - Moondance Weezer - Blue Rage Against the Machine - S/T Art Blakey - Buhaina's Delight Bjork - Homogenic...

Ya, I downloaded the album. Oops, I stole something. Whatever, I now am going to buy it on vinyl. My question is: do you think the artist gets more money from amazon sales? Or should I buy it from some other way? Basically, I think the album is great and I want to support him as much as...

I have 20 Art Blakey albums. They are all pretty superb. He's my favorite jazz drummer. Simply explosive playing. All of the suggestions thus far are really solid albums. Check out Buhaina's Delight for some really thunderous playing, esp. the title track.

I'd just go with newegg or amazon. Their prices are normally really good. Sure, you may pay 20 more than some semi-shady place, but when it comes time to return a set or any other type of customer service, both are very good about returns and other customer concerns, etc
