| Pass Labs XA30.8 New could be interesting too, but I never understand why they were changed. That being said, Nelson Pass must be one of the smartest guys in audio, if not the world. | |

With respect to traveling, I have had several pairs of in ear IEMs and also active noise cancelling headphones including Sennheiser and Bose for long haul flights, working, listening to music and / or watching movies.I loved a pair of JH Audio IEM... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 If so, it would be nice to move on from the .8 cosmetics and especially the black rings on the faceplates.To me, the previous generations were much more beautiful and jewel like in their design. | |

For long haul international flights, I bought a pair of PXC 450 years ago but sold them recently given the apparent progress from Sennheiser and other brands. But the acti... | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. I propose that any GT3 and the Lancia Stratos were also beautiful, and thus a higher expression of engineering and human achievement than the ugly ducklings (whether audio or racing) touted by the purely "objective" types.Most Evo 9s disappear int... | |
| My "audiophile" weakness(es)...ie: how the item looks, and you?. I support you in this excellent post, and wish the answers weren’t so binary.I don’t know but I am pretty sure that Enzo Ferrari fought for his cars to be 1) high performance but also 2) beautiful.So every time I hear some stubborn "audiophile" ar... | |

I really don’t know much about this device yet and perhaps it only dec... | |
| Concert halls from around the world. What have been your favorites. bsimpsonVienna - schmienna!!Everyone knows that only New York has the best of the best of the BEST of everything, 24/7. Obviously, you are a hateful, privileged, misogynist. I bet you eat meat and don't even drive an electric car. | |

| Foobar2000 on iPhones? glennewdickI find it so ironic that Apple cult members tout the ease and simplicity of Apple products. I have been using computers pretty much every day for most of my life (and even had one of the first Macs in college). Yet other than clicking... | |
| Vintage automatic turntable recommendations? kidhominid,Have you explored the Yamaha PX-2?Hard to find and not inexpensive, these were about $900 circa 1980 although you might be pressed to find one in perfect condition for that price today. Built like a tank, they are stunningly beautiful ... | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? In other words, let's say a manufacturer offers the same monitor, but one is active and one is passive.I understand the argument that their own amp or amps (in the active version) might be matched to that speaker, voiced to that speaker or otherwi... |
