Headphones Newbie; Senheisser HD 800s or Focal MG Clear
I’m sorry for not mentioning this but I am looking for a pair of open backed headphones. My understanding of the differences between the two may be mistaken but when I’ve had the chance to hear headphones at the dealer, I’ve preferred the open to ...

@larsman I've read a few reviews on the Focal Clear MG's and it seems like they've really made improvements over the original Clear's, one being detail. One thing I'm really wondering about the Focal's is whether or not the treble frequencies can ...

@tds3371 thanks for clarifying.

@fuzztone I like my Quads but I'm wanting more variety. As I'm sure you know, the Quads really shine with classical music but can be lacking with a lot of rock or pop.

@tds3371 I'm not sure why you're saying the Sennheiser's are an acquired taste, could you please explain?

@big_greg so are you saying bass is noticeably lacking in the Sennheiser's? For the treble region, which would you say is easier to listen to?

@mattmiller what are the characteristic differences between the two? I was told the Focal have more bass but so far, that's as much as I know.  
Jelco sa 750e
@52tiger Ortofon is certainly quality in its build and design so I would assume the Sorane to be familiar in that way. I would however expect the Sorane to match up better with a wider range of cartridges. You could always give George Merrill at G...

The Sorane tonearms are priced very good considering their build quality. I’ve been told by a dealer who sold both Jelco and Sorane, that the Sorane arms sound better than the Jelco arms.  
Classical Music for Aficionados
Right after the Orange Revolution (2005) in Ukraine, I arrived in Odessa along the Black Sea. I stayed for three weeks with a girlfriend. I saw the Ukrainian State Ballet perform Giselle and Sleeping Beauty. The beautiful thing was that they used ... 
Magnepan LRS
I just auditioned a pair of LRS’s today. The dealer powered them with a Moon Audio amplifier. I didn’t like them and I mentioned that the amp might be the reason for the underwhelming sound but the dealer assured me that it was the Maggie’s. The ... 
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
Hey, @reubent , I only know the first Godz record though they made two or three if I'm correct. What era is Patto?

reubent. yeah, that’s why they take drugs and have long hair!  
Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's
There used to be an early 1970’s Metal Band from Columbus, Ohio called ’The Godz’. They were very good but not all that prolific, so they supported a lot of main acts like ’Kiss’. Though not Metal, I saw Canned Heat at an outdoor festival a few y...
