| Headphones vs full range speakers For a while I was really into headphones and built up a nice collection including LCD4, Sennheiser HD800, Sony MDR-Z1R, AKG K812, and a number of others. I used the headphones a lot in my small two channel system in my computer room because the... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Creedence Clearwater Revival - Greatest Hits. This one is a 3 disc Warner Special Products release. I bought it about 7 years ago and probably only listened once. It's in nice shape and sound quality is good for a compilation. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve, RSD is coming up Friday! I have to admit, there's not much I saw that got me excited. The two Steely Dan releases (Everything Must Go and Two Against Nature) were fantastic. A lot of the other stuff is hit and miss in terms of quality or... | |
| Sennheiser HD 800 aftermarket cable Have you tried the Sennheiser CH 800 S cable? I have the HD 800 (not S) and have not compared the Senn balanced cable to others, but certainly didn't find it lacking in any way and it's very well constructed. I have to admit that I seem to be le... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Edgar Winter - Entrance | |
| Stirling Broadcast / BBC LS3/6 Near the corners, not in them. Then move a few inches and lift up a little more and so on. Take your time. | |
| New Tidal Plans and Changes Don't quote me on this, but I don't think there's any difference in content. You'll be able to access all the files but they just won't play at MQA level if you don't have the top tier plan. | |
| Stirling Broadcast / BBC LS3/6 I just took the grills off mine this afternoon. They are very snug and held on with six pegs. I used a butter knife to gently pry the edges out. You're "supposed" to leave the grills on. They are supposed to tame the top end a bit. I don't notice ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Neil Young - Harvest Moon. I think I finally got a decent copy. It took three tries. | |
| Upgrading my system I'm not familiar with the equipment you've mentioned, but I have owned a number of bookshelf speakers - Canton, Monitor Audio, and Vienna Acoustics to name a few. I have the Harbeth P3ESR SE speakers in a room a little smaller than yours, in a ne... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts This thread highlights the importance of first impressions. The very dealer that one person a few posts back speaks glowingly of was horrible on the phone and would be the last place I would spend my money. My interaction was with the owner of t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? More Creedence Gold @boxer12 Black Star is an excellent choice! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Liz Phair - Soberish | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Led Zeppelin II Japan pressing | |
| Hearing loss Of course I'm listening to music on them. Otherwise I'd use the hearing protection I use for rock concerts. The music doesn't have to be (and isn't) super loud. The noise cancelling doesn't completely eliminate the sound of the mower, but prett... |
