So, I just got back from seeing a friend of mine perform (plays the bass) with a pianist. They played pieces by Giovanni Bottesini and i couldn't get enough. Anybody know of any other great pieces that focus on the double bass?

I just saw the Kronos Quartet and i loved it. It was just an amazing performance. They played a little bit of everything: some Sigur Ros, Thelonious Monk, and Steve Reich are the ones I remember and could readily identify. For the Sigur Ros portion they even broke out a huge pipe organ. The...

I was bored this weekend so I decided to make a stand out of some wood that I had lying around. I'm no carpenter so be gentle haha. I apologize for the crappy pictures. I took these with a really old digital with a non-functioning screen and no viewfinder. I couldn't mess with any of the...

Anybody heard a really spectacular recording of the planets by holst? I've heard a few recordings but they just haven't really tripped my trigger. Any ideas?

Any soccer/football fans out there? Does anyone remember when little freddy went pro at just 14? Well, no more Freddy for MLS. He's been transferred to Benfica, a Portuguese team. He's supposed to be such a huge talent, but he seemed to be more or less under the radar when he was in the...

Well, the title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for something to use with my total bithead at work, where I listen to primarily classical/jazz. I've heard countless recommendations for the AKG k701's or HD 650's for these genres, but can the bithead drive them? (they don't need to be...

I need a new phone, because, well... my old one is at the bottom of a lake . This past weekend I was on a houseboat at Lake Powell with some family. I said to myself "My phone will be just fine here on the table inside the cabin." But, tragically, my phone was not just fine. My nephew thought it...

When I got home from work today, there they were sitting by my front door! Glorious! They sound great out of the box; I'm putting them through the paces with my music collection right now. I'm leaving for the weekend in a few hours though, so I don't have much time to listen. I'll post some...

Just wondering if anyone had tried this? I like the overall looks of the k601 a whole lot better, but I'm not a big fan of the sheep-intestine gray™ color on the headband. I much prefer the band from the k701, and was thinking about attempting some transplant surgery.

After doing some research/listening, i've narrowed down my choice to these two. What do you guys think? I have a total bithead that i've had around for a while for use as an amp. (I'd be willing to shell out some more $$ for another amp and dac if necessary though.) I'll primarily be using...

Hey all, I've been looking for a cheapish portable combo usb dac/amp for use on the road. I've been really looking into the Total Bithead after having had the chance to hear one and reading overall good things about it here. (not to mention it definetly fits my "cheapish" criterion)...

hey all, I've been lurking around here for some time, and based on what I found here I got a pair of Super.fi 5 pros. I'm pretty satisfied w/ them, but within the last couple of days I've noticed an odd rattle on certain frequencies (mid-high bass) that almost sounds like a blown-out...
