| AKG Headphones: New K272 HD vs K702 vs Beyer ? I have brand new pair of 702's and think they're fantastic. I agree that with the right amp, they take a leap ahead. They are also the most comfortable cans I've had on my head, moreso than even Sennheisers. I had Blue Jeans Cable make me a 15' ca... | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 v5 somewhat boomy Newbrook. I use Aurelz Gramma's. They made a huge difference for me, and the 1 1/2" rise actually put the speakers where they should be for my listening chair. | |
| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair You should look into Salk Songtowers. Not one bad review professionally or from users. | |
| Windows Media Player Thanks everyone. I guess I didn't think the software could make that much of a difference. I'll check out Exact Audio Copy and if that doesn't make me happy, I'll try out Roxio. Has anyone tried the Sony Music CD-R's? | |
| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? Sound obviously. That's the ultimate goal. Price per pound, you get a lot more with a lot less. I could care less about technological advances in audio. I don't think that audio sounds much better than it did 30 years ago. I think that people get ... | |
| The better Led Zeppellin live recordings on vinyl. P.S. - I think that One Night Stand is taken from the BBC Sessions and has one song that BBC Sessions does not, which is White Summer / Black Moutainside. It's a shame it was left off the BBC Sessions release as it's Jimmy Page at his best and was... | |
| The better Led Zeppellin live recordings on vinyl. You're not missing anything by not having In Through the Out Door or Coda. Jimmy Page was not even around for In Through the Out Door as he was busy with heroin at the time.Look for 'One Night Stand' (BBC Rock Hour from June 1969). Although it wou... | |
| Please Help Me, I'm Lost Please let us know how the ferrite cores work out. | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? I'm putting in a Porter Port this week. I'll let you know how it goes. It's going to be tough for me to decipher what's the Porter and what's a result of the new dedicated circuit. I might have to begin with the old $4 plug and then replace it wit... | |
| Full Range Drivers Darkmoebius, does your kit have the Fostex Bullet Tweeter? What does putting that kit together entail? | |
| How much budget for bass? I've been battling with some bass that's too boomy on some recordings. I added some bass traps and pulled the speakers farther away from the wall which helped a great deal. Sometimes I wish I hadn't purchased rear ported speakers but I'm not willi... | |
| Favorites Alone In Quiet Darkness I love Supertramp. My favorite is 'Live in Paris'. Great version of Crime of the Century. | |
| Jay Reatard...RIP Who is this Jay Reatard? I'm sorry for your loss. | |
| Is China Forbes pitch perfect? They're certainly not treating anyone for glaucoma in Portland. I heard it's similar to Jamaica there. | |
| Tequila's turn? Oro Azul Resposado. Double distilled and 100% blue agave, Oro Azul Reposado is rested for over six months. It has a deep old gold color with pickling spice and sweet, creamy nougat aromas. A round entry leads to a dryish medium-bodied palate with ... |
