hd25-1 impressions thread
I believe that the 3m coiled cable that comes standard on the HD25-C II is made from copper... Emailed Sennheiser USA, and they replied back - "This is copper cable. We use stainless steel and copper for various cables. The choice of conductor material has ZERO effect on sound quality since...- latershow

HD 25-1 II coiled cable?
I started a post about this cable on the "cables" forum, asking if (a) anybody can confirm the cable is made from copper, and (b) what the sound differences are to the standard steel cable. So any replies would be great!- latershow

Help me find something that sounds kinda, sorta, but not really like a Senn HD 650 for around $100

Finally they sell for around $100 on the forums.... I think Kramer once said he preferred them to his HD580's, and he's quite a...- latershow

Albums you hated at first, but love now
I'm siding with the masses here but "OK Computer" was an album that had me quite cold on first listen, put it aside for a while then came back..... glad I did! Kid A was actually the only Radiohead album that I loved right from the get-go, still do, but not as much as the album that preceeded it -

In Ear Monitors: Love or Hate?
I really envy all u people who use and enjoy iems.

Specific moments in music that send chills down your spine
Pink Floyd - "Shine on you crazy diamond" at the start of the four-note theme about 4mins into the song "Child in Time" by Deep Purple, the point where the constant loud high-pitched screaming is heard. I cannot listen to this song without getting chills in a big way! -
