Yes, I have noticed the planar headphones and would love to give them a try too.But to me, one of the main benefits of headphones should be privacy.For in ear, I have tried expensive Etymotics, expensive Shures, cheaper Shures and I have just orde... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Slaw,"These scooters may have a casting flaw on the left hand side engine case at the base of the engine mounting point.

| Headphones--The Grado sound in a closed design? I also like the Grados, but dont want an open backed phone.Audio Technica has been recommended for a more reasonable price, but I have not yet compared my Grados or Sennheisers with Audio Technicas.I dont want to disturb my family if they are slee... | |
| Maggies MGII's - Questions, thoughts When I was in high school in the 80's, I worked part time in an audio store. Although not freakishly high end, the store sold McIntosh, Tandberg, Yamaha, Dahlquist and KEF, among other good brands.By working nights and weekends, I cobbled together... | |

| Your Personal Soundtrack Blindjim,Even CNBC couldnt torture me into reaching for a remote.Regarding my personal soundtrack, however, I found Bill Evans very useful while working this morning on some emails and internet research.Mahler was too loud and too heavy. Aaron Cop... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2010 BMW S1000RR - Motorrad EditionAfter nearly 30,000 miles, my admittedly beautiful Ducati 1098 more than lived up to its reputation as an expensive and high maintenance mistress.So the reliability of the BMW is a real treat.Smooth and deceptive... | |
| Best Garage or Workshop Design for Audio Gear 4estToo many drawers? I can't find anything in any case, so I appreciate the feedback.And yes, assuming the rack is in between the speakers, I always thought it would be nice to have dedicated, walk in space behind the front wall.This way, compone... | |
| "They are here" vs. "You are there" Bryoncunningham,You make a very interesting distinction.I would think the correct answer is clearly "you are there" at least for live or minimally processed, high quality recordings, where we start with the idea that the goal is recreating the ill... | |
| How to Hook Up 4 Dq-10 speakers BrfI too am interested in stacked configurations.This doesn't seem to get much discussion, but advocates suggest there are huge benefits to be gained from "stacking" certain speakers.Historically, Quads, KLH 9s, and Spendors have been used this wa... | |
| A major disconnect between the audiophile magazine Howard,I am with you 100% and have posted similar comments in other threads.Of course, the emperor of insanely high priced, "high end" audio does not want to be discovered wearing no clothes.So brace yourself for backlash on any thread like this o... | |
| Your Personal Soundtrack Oh yes, "downtime" is also an important activity.But in my ideal world, music would accompany everything I do, as described by Ballan.Right now, I am at the office, and forced to listen to CNBC all day. | |
| Less Loss Blackbodies your experience? RnwongIf you don't mind may asking, did you simply order the device from the website? Or did you somehow meet the manufacturer?As you will see in other threads, there has been a lot of suspicion and controversy as to whether posters on Lessloss pr... | |
| Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound Buconero,Of course as an audiophile, I would get more pleasure from spending $800 on the HiFiMan than $50 on a Sansa Clip.Then again, audiophiles also love it when lesser known devices outperform the leading brand, so thanks for the suggestion.Why... | |
| EAC - Ripping Options This is a good question, and as we are on AUDIOgon, I still don't understand why some people will invariably suggest compressing your music.Hard drives are only getting bigger and cheaper by the day.I, too, would love to hear from the EAC experts ... |
