    The most Hi-end headphone pageant in Shanghai, China

    Was Ye Li's TA 8PR(eference) - as opposed to the TA 8P - used with the HD600 in the meet? my understanding is that Ye Li designed the TA 8PR specifically for the HD600 to get as close to his memory of listening to the Orpheus as he could with a dynamic headphone. I am curious how the TA 8PR...

    cui jian, china's first rock star, to tour u.s. & canada in april

    rock in general is not very well received by the state in china. the chinese government and communist party see rock music as spiritual pollution. civil socity is quite fragile in china. i highly doubt the national people's congress even pays attention to what cui jian does, let alone giving any...

    cui jian, china's first rock star, to tour u.s. & canada in april

    some things to add (some repetition): A year ago the Rolling Stones were about to embark on their historic debut concerts in China, but the SARS scare brought their trip to a halt. It was a disappointment for the band and their fans in China, but also for Cui Jian who was the opening act. Cui...

    aside from the differences in color (black, silver and gold), what are the major (if any) differences between the dv-59avi, dv-868avi (europe), dv-s969avi (asia/aus/nz)? the major difference i noted was that the non-u.s. models were ntsc/pal (requiring a multisystem tv/projector/plasma no...
