slow forum
Hey, that one's gone, what should I search on?

K1000 = hope
I understand giving up one's L3000 before I understand giving up one's K1000. So consider yourself only mildly berated.

swt61's beautiful work
Are you sure you'd want that? You'd get all sorts of comb-filtering from the backwave. Closed headphones need to be specially designed to minimize that, that's why most of the higher-end ones bulge out like that.

Unless you need more space.

Hey, what's a good source for anime soundtracks? Mail order, online?

No, really, I meant the iMod -- it's its own punishment for not searching the archives.

100 Essential Jazz Albums
The Miles Davis cross-section is almost perfect. I would add Cannonball Aderly's Somethin' Else (tip o' the hat to thrice for that one -- it has remained a favorite), some representation of the Relaxin'/Steamin'/Workin'/Cookin' sessions -- perhaps the Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions? -- and something representing the 65-68 Quintet output (personally, I'd do the boxset, but there might be a better single album). Chick Corea is sinfully underrepresented -- one disk? Fusion needs reprazentin'. Also, shouldn't Keith Jarrett be represented with both a solo piano disk and a trio disk? I guess my summation is that -- as stated in the intro -- this list is obviously stilted towards jazz's early years. And there is such a thing as vocal jazz, I just don't think Frank Sinatra should represent that.

Not everything has a clock input. That Rega that was pictured was modified.

Denon AH-D2000--big disappointment.
Yeah, but there are -- what? -- two of those in the world? I didn't want to just frustrate him. So...what's the car situation, what ended up happening with that?

Recommendation for high sensitivity speakers
The Tannoy Prestige line have high sensitivities, IIRC. linky (about 1/3 of the way down the page). There's also the JBL K2 S9800.

Post the last thing you bought!
"...listening to dynamic headphones...", or "...listening to just dynamic headphones..."? Because you can pry my L3000 from my cold dead hands.

They had the Cavalry one last week for $189 -- should I have posted that? I will, next time.

Welcome to head-case, sorry about your thin skin. And this.

Cuddle Parties!
This thread makes me wish there was a rule that would allow me to close it due to its "agonizing pointlessness". But alas, we do not. Carry on.

Best headphones for Ipod (unamped)
Alright, I stand corrected, I might upgrade to a ER4p if I ever start listening with any frequency again.
-
Best headphones for Ipod (unamped)
"Adding more bass" sounds nice, but can't that be accomplished with an amp? I kind of don't want to ruin its detail retrieval (I.E. I do not think it is too bright).
-
Best headphones for Ipod (unamped)
I love my er-6i, the only thing I'd possibly replace it with is another one...in black (I bought a white one when I didn't know they came in black).

Etymotic ER-6i.
