I haven't been on in a while but I came to check out what everybody got for RSD 2011. I can't believe this thread just started today. My store here in Des Moines (ZZZ Records) was packed. I showed up about 15 minutes before open and there were at least 100 people in line already. Luckily I got...

I can't wait to see this game tonight. I'm rooting for the Celtics but I honestly don't know who will win. I am sure that it will be a great battle. I'm hoping KG gives a throwback performance with about 22-12-6 in 40 min. Either that or Rondo finally comes out of his finals "slump" and shows...

So I just got back from the record shop and gave it a listen. The Vinyl is 180 gram, split onto two records, and is of good quality on my modest system. The vinyl version also comes with a code for a free digital download, which I appreciate. First impressions are very good. It's the same tone...

I've got a trip to the record store planned to pick this up tomorrow. I'm pretty excited as I just discovered The National a couple of months ago. Anybody else heard it yet?

The cups are made of plastic. The set is quite light and not uncomfortable to me.   One note is that I recently purchased my cans from RMC Audio and they did NOT come with the extension cable as shown in this thread but with the single, long (very long) cable. Something to think about if you...

I knew I wasn't the only one from this forum on LaLa. I was more than disappointed when I get that E-mail yesterday. Hopefully there are some more great venues out there for us to experiment with new music. Anybody?

Thanks for all the hard work you must have put into this Jude. My life is richer, if not my wallet, thanks to Head-fi.org and I can't wait to get into all of the new features. I especially love the idea of the wiki and the dedicated review section. Keep the improvements coming!

Nice review LFF. Too bad it came out two days after I ordered a pair of closed cans. It looks like these could be a fun, affordable option if I want to try something different though. I will keep an eye out for your review of the other models.

This is fantastic guys! Looks like I've got a lot of listening to do. Can't wait to get started.

So I love music by Eric Clapton and bands like Led Zepplin but I would like to get into some more traditional Blues music. Where should I start. Thanks for any help.

Tonight I find myself experiencing a much too rare occurrence. I am sitting, in front of a fire with a fine drink in hand, completely immersed in music. I imagine that many of the members of this forum are much like myself, too often finding themselves with their music on only in the...

I've got a pair of IEMs that I like (Shure SE 210) as well as a good set of open phones (Beyer DT990), now for a good closed pair. Then an amp... Then a DAC... Then a new source... Plus I just got into vinyl so... Oh Crap, I think I've got a ways to go before I'm "cured".

Congrats on your first turntable! I'm actually in the same position as you as I received my first deck for Christmas as well. After doing some research, I went for the TC-750 and have been very pleased with it for the for the price. Although I don't have anything else to compare it to, I have no...

I've seen them a few times but not for five or six years now. Back then the shows were awesome and defiinatly worth the money.

Wait, do I understand correctly that your girlfriend owns a headphone amp? On topic: asking this group if your sound card will drive your phones "perfectly" is pretty much begging for people to urge you to spend loads of cash. If your happy with the way your cans sound then keep your money...

That thread is amazing. I just wish I could understand even a single word of it.

I listen to a fair amount of hip hop on my Beyer 990s. They have plenty of bass. The sound goes deep and is controlled enough for my ears. The music has an impact, you can feel the bass lines. My main complaint is about the slightly recessed mids. On certain tracks/recordings the vocals have...

Thanks guys, JVC's on the way...

Unfortuantly not for myself. Oh well. My Girlfriend wants to buy her brother some phones for his b-day and I have been placed in charge. He's not very much into music but is a fantastic pianist. The reason she is buying him cans is so he is able to play his keyboard without bothering their...

Filipelli is the coolest

done and done. comments and ratings for both. i am ajsgolf33 over there as well.

Frost/Nixon: 8 - good story and it was told with and even voice. It didn't villify Nixon but stil gave a good picture of the characters and events.
