    Correlation between objective measurement and subjective observation of cable differences

    Here's your chance to pursue this fascinating subject!   The assumption is that the subjective differences are real, so we're not here to discuss that. (different discussion altogether) The supposition is that very minute changes in measurable characteristics lead to very audible changes...

    Ultrasone Proline 650 mods

    A little background.. It's been a while since I had mixed a live concert for recording or sound reinforcement and I was asked by a friend a couple weeks ago to do that for a gig where there would be four bands, each with completely different mic requirements and set ups. I had never even met...

    XM Radio MyFi

    About a month ago I bought a car that came with XM radio. I got hooked on the infinite source of new music. On voice programs the compression is high and the bit rate is low, but on the Jazz and Classical stations, the sound is about as good a good FM radio. I liked it so well that I picked...

    The Fighting Temptations was a great flick

    What a sound track! Anybody else see that movie yet? Cuba Gooding Jr. was great. Do I need to say anything about Beyonce Knowles' voice? The barbershop quartet was awesome! The choir just about had me dancing!

    Help! Something Terrible happened to my HD-600s!!!

    I broke out my modded Grado SR-200s and spent most of the weekend listening to them after not having listened to them at length for quite a while. I "remembered" something magical about their midrange. I went through a whole crate of SR-200s when I bought them and got the pick of the litter...

    Thoughts/observations on the AKG K-1000s

    I must confess that I've had a love-hate relationship with my K-s1000. Firstly, I'm a weird guy and I love weird things. The K-1000s appealed to me on that basis alone even before I ever saw or heard them in person. I bought a pair from HeadRoom and drove them with my Kenwood RD-VH7 which...

    I got mugged at the Portland HeadRoom tour...

    Well, it happened... There I was, minding my own business, hanging out at the Marriot by Jantzen Beach and I got mugged by this guy and his accomplice from Bozeman Montanna. The mug says "HeadRoom" on it. It was a great opportunity to meet lots of folks, not the least of whom were Todd...

    Cardas Smurf Cables for Senn HD-600

    My Cardas HD-600 replacement cables arrived today and even though they're not broken in, I can tell a not too subtle improvement already. The bass is for sure improved over the stock cables and the hole in the mids does seem to be filled in better. This is cool!! Will they unseat the AKG-501s...

    Tweek of the week

    On my way home from work yesterday, I was listening to PBS and they did a story on copyright infringement. Very interesting. They mentioned the new Sony copy protected CD's, which I've run into much to my chagrin. (I have a new program which seems to work in spite of the copy protection)...
