I like jazz guitars, but I don't know where to start looking for music where the jazz guitar takes center stage. I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks!

I need a low-profile 1/8" stereo jack suitable for mounting inside one of the cups of my K501. Any recommendations?

After downloading a couple songs (Beck's Bolero and Shapes of Things) I've decided to add a Beck cd to my library. Which is the best overall? I'm concerned with the quality of the recordings because of their age. Edit: I notice there are a couple of remastered cds. How good are these?

A great virus hoax.

Topic sez it all. Right now I think I'd like to hear just about any of Yoko Kanno's music in full, five-channel glory, just so long as the remix/remaster was good.

Well, after a lot of reading, I went ahead and ordered the K240S from Headroom. Based on what I've read (and been told), these should be a big improvement over my K501. I'll post impressions after I get them (in about two days) and then later after I've gotten about 40 hours out of them. Of...

I'm not going to be buying one right away, but I'd like some recommendations for an entry level five disc changer. I only need redbook, not dvd-a or sacd. An analog line-out is preferred, but I would like a decent integrated dac and amp to keep me happy until I get a head amp. Any suggestions...

I need to find someone a cheap pair of phones that will block out the sound of several annoying coworkers. Sound quality is not a big issue, she's not an audiophile. How well do Sennheiser's mx series isolate? Is there anything else in the $30 or less price range you guys would recommend?

My dad decided he didn't need his old stereo reciever/amp/tuner anymore, so I decided to give it a shot at powering my HD497's. It's a Sony STR-6040, and damn it's good! The bass is much fuller and a bit tighter, and everything sounds warmer and more alive. The output of my SB Live sounds very...

Would an Airhead be sufficient to drive the K501's, or would any of you recommend something else for a similar price? I'm not opposed to buying used from another Head-Fier. Thanks for your advice.

What I'm looking for is something a little warmer and with more bass than my HD 497's. Not just more bass, though. It has to be tight and controlled, not muddy.I'd like to spend less than $130, and I don't want cans that will require an amp. I predict that at least one of you will shout "You...

I've been thinking about getting an IMP-350 (found a place selling them for $109), and I'd like to hear some detailed descriptions of the sound quality. In my searches I found people complaining about the hiss, but no one actually said how loud it was or what it was comparable to. So could...

I was browsing a couple days ago and noticed one mention of the D66's being discountinued. (I don't remember which thread it was.) Is this true, or was the person who mentioned it misinformed?

I finally installed the kx drivers for my SB Live card (yeah, yeah, I'm upgrading soon), and you know what? I wanna scream out "GAAAAWWWD DAMMMN BOY!!!!" in my loudest redneck voice, cause it's so damn good! I'm listening to a track with an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, strings, a bass...

I've got a confession to make. I've had my HD497's for less than a week, and they're quite nice, but I'm already laying plans for an upgrade to the next price level. So how do the D66 Eggos compare to the HD497s in terms of bass? Ideally, I'd like to have something in between the 497s and the...

Is there anyway to make the hd497's sound less veiled, such as a new cable or powering them with an amp? Currently they're being driven by my SB Live. Edit: If you say the fix is buy Grados or Eggos, that's okay, too.
