Thanks Hardwired.

I like my Meizu - haven't tried the others

Hi, I'm looking for a pair of phones to pair with my Meizu M6 SL. As I was considering the Grado SR60 I originally posted on the Covering Headphones list but someone suggested I also try iems (I am using - AKG K312Ps - which IMHO lean more towards providing support for rock than house tunes. The...

chinesekiwi, Queenryche, that's a band I haven't heard in years. Was very into Rush, AC/DC and Metallica I never paid much attention to this until I nearly gave up listening to music 6 months ago. I left my hifi and collection of vinyl and cds back home when I immigrated 5 years ago...

If anyone is interested further research (yeah, OK, I'm bored at work) shows the following: - CDs produced in 1985 had an average (RMS) level of -18dB. - The average level of CDs in 1990 was -12dB. - The level was raised to -6dB in 1995. - In 2000, CDs reached an average level of -3dB...

OK, now I found the article in rolling Stone: The Death of High Fidelity : Rolling Stone

Panda, how would I know if a recording was compressed before buying it?

Thanks Nagasaki Kid, deify, st4r0c3an. It's most likely Ill go with the Grad 60s although I have read some excellent reviews on the Yuin pk2.

Hi I read a couple of years back that the trend in today's music world is to optimise recordings for the "ipod generation", sacrificing audio subtlety for volume. Wish I could find the article but it was in a magazine. Anyway, now that I am about to reinvest in CDs I was wondering how...

Having listened more to the M6 it seems to me that the earphones I am using - AKG K312Ps - lean more towards providing support for rock than house tunes. The latter distort when it comes to bass but it must be said that Geddy Lee's bass guitar (a Rickenbacker) sounds a bit dull.

kojebee; Bonthouse, thanks for your replies. Kojobee, I think you are right re the bassy sound of the Meizu; I've been trying to clear that up with the EQ but to no avail, and thought a decent set of phones would help. I'll look into the models you suggested.

Hi Wildsurfer Clear as crystal. When I begin ripping my CDs I will do it straight to FLAC. For now, my motley collection of music files will remain as is. thanks

Hi Having recently bought an M6 SL I was wondering if it was worth my while converting my existing collection of files (mainly AAC) to WAV? I tried it out last night (using Foobar2000) and then played a converted WAV on my Meizu back to back with the original AAC file. The WAV sounded...

Hi, I'm looking for a pair of phones to pair with my Meizu M6 SL. Considering the Grado SR60 (or equivalent but don't know what else is out there). I'm curious to find out if the Grad can be driven by the M6 or do I need a 'phone amp? thanks Russ
