I saw Citizen Kane for the first time yesterday night, and I was bowled over. A superb film, in my opinion. Does anyone else have thoughts on this classic oldie?

I'm finally back, ready, to, sparingly, be active again, as my first semester at school has come to a close and i'm on a two-week winter break. Yay. (confetti falls to the floor)

I want to know about what you think is under-rated jazz. Mainstream stuff is super, but I'm finding some of the less well-known albums have some super stuff in em.... Here are some albums I've found that I love yet don't seem to find much info on: Blues And The Abstract Truth - Oliver...

Lately, my Sony R700 MD recorder/player has been giving me all hell............the headphone jack has somehow developed some sort of intermittency problem. When I'm standing completely still, with the MD just laying on a table, for instance, I'm fine - after I fiddle with the jack a little...

I just got Before These Crowded Streets today. I already own Crash, Live At Red Rocks, and Everyday. Well, BTCS has made me a die-hard fan......amazing amazing music. This is just such a great band - and they can do more than JAM, as apparent on this CD.......................I love...

I just recieved my first gold disc (Man-Child by Herbie Hancock) and I am absolutely bowled over.......I feel like I've made a component upgrade...... My disc is by MSFL.....I believe DCC also makes gold discs. What are other ppl's experiences with gold discs? And which do you like...

I was in Target the other day getting some jeans, and I couldn't help but look at the CD section. I didn't find anything I wanted, but at the last moment saw a single copy of Parachutes, the only album by Coldplay. Now, I didn't really think Yellow was a great song, and sort of put off...

I recently acquired this excellent release by a fairly unknown band named Dredg. The album, Leitmotif, is composed of five short movements and five short songs (this isn't progressive music that stretches on for hours - but it has a progressive feel to it). The sound, while heavy, does...

I stumbled upon progressive rock/metal in the form of Dream Theater when I was browsing through amazon.com recently. I think this is a very interesting genre - anyone like this kind of music? I am just getting into the bands: - Conception - Dream Theater - Tool (if you call them...

Hmm...this'll be my first significant post on head-fi in a while. That said..... I recently purchased the album "Realize" by Karsh Kale. He is an American of indian descent - sort of like an American Talvin Singh. If you have no idea what I'm talkin about - go to amazon.com, and bring up...

Love Drum Talk is the most recent release from Babatunde Olatunji - a fairly well regarded African percussionists. Very interesting disc........i picked it up at half.com, brand new, for just 8 bux shipped. couldn't stop thinking of Neruda, lol....... Well, it IS a chesky record. VERY...

I just burned a copy of Sarah Vaughan from my local library - VERY nice vocal jazz performance......... I'm wondering what the jazz-heads out here think are the best jazz vocal albums with female singers. I myself, find "Intimate Ella" to be the best female jazz vocalist performance I...

I've noticed that quite often on head-fi, ppl tend to insult popular music, for whatever be the reason (Appendix A: BRITNEY SPEARS THREAD). I, myself, like Rage Against The Machine, SOME hindi pop (bashfully I admit it), Sting, Seal, some Nelly Furtado and......that's about it, for the...

I was listening to some mp3s of Nirvana: MTV Unplugged, and I REALLY like it. Just wondering if there are any albums like Nirvana Unplugged..... Thanx in advance.

I can't even believe I am typing this......but...... I was watching VH1 a few days ago (not MTV for me, sorry....) - and they had a behind the music special on the Commodores, which basically the Commodores BEHIND Lionel Richie......ANYwayz. I learned quite a bit - and actually LIKE the...

That's right. It's time for all you head-fizers to help vij make a decision. It seems that lately, coolvij has been aching to get an upgrade PLAN - he's content with 495s for now, but really wants to know - what next?..... Well, I've narrowed it down to about 5 choices. Keep in mind my...

This is the ULTIMATE portable shootout.... Written IN PART by chych - who has ONE line (grumbling by vij begins NOW) .....and myself, coolvij. 3 of the can's are his - I only have the 888s and KSC-35. This shootout is a fairly serious comparison of every one of the major good-sounding...

Today, I was trying out some Flents Ear Plugs that I had purchased for an UPCOMING purchase (koss plugs) that I had been contemplating. I think I need at least the Plugs for on the bus......I just realized how loud my KSC-35s have been........on the bus. Horrifying, it was. I put the...

First off - this is not really a problem. Having too much to chose from is never bad Anyway, I recently decided I was gonna get a CAL Gamma and PCDP for home use. Everything was good and well in Chicago.... Today, I visit my aunt's/uncle's home. He is a doctor - type Bose Seriously...

I just realized Sony has issued some new remasters of Miles. I wasn't sure exactly which album would benefit most from the new DSD mastering - so can any of you guys (or girls) tell me which album, from the list below, you'd buy DSD remastered. And don't mention Kind Of Blue - I already have...

I've just recently started to *hear* the limitations of cruddy DACs, and now that I've got my Sennheiser 495s, I would like to upgrade my source. I currently have a Sony D-121. I thought it was GREAT out of the line-out, but I now know that isn't true, since I compared it to the line-out of...

I finally got my Sennheiser HD-495s yesterday!! Have listened to them just a few hours.....a more detailed review will follow. However, my first impressions are overwhelmingly positive. My setup is a Sony D-121 to a JMT Penguin to the Senns, with RatShack interconnects. Jazz sounds...

What do you think would be the best currently available personal cd player, when used with an amp, through its line-out? Also, please post why......

Just wanted to let you know that in a few months, I'll be one of the first people to get the "demo CD" of my cousin, Ashok Warrier. It will have around ten songs. From this, a record company will pick whichever they like, and his first CD will be released. He is a rock musician, and his style...
