| In ear headphones $150 or less go on the head fi site, particualrly the chinese iem thread, and you'll ge tmore recommendations and information than youy can absorb in a lifertiem. the current raves at the $150 mark are the lz a4 and the magaosi k3, but there are literally a th... | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report i've heard wussy, who robert christgau praises irrationally, but don't like them as much as the ass ponys--too dark and less melodic. the great thing about "electric rock music: is the genuine affection the singer has for all the freaks and losers... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report ruebent, i'm with you on electric rock music--it's brilliant. "hey grandma" might be the best song ever written. (ok, a little hyperbole) | |
| Balancing time for music: Discovery/acquisition vs. listening if, as you suggest, your main objective is to most efficiently discover music (as opposed to collecting discs, achieving the best possible sound, etc.), i'd opt for spotify premium--it has the largest library, excellent recommendation software and... | |
| Thinking about Schweikert VR I fantastic speaker--great low end and beuatifully made. relatively hard to find, which probably means their owners tend to keep them. | |
| 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. What does it mean? joe crowe, you're better informed than me, so i appreciate your input. what i'm trying to convey is that unlike the excrable bs&t, the early chicago was kind of interesting and punk--the horns were sort of a disciplined counterpart to the wild... | |
| 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago. What does it mean? like most critics, i'd generally (and unfairly) dismissed chicago as aor drivel. however after listening to the steve wilson remaster i was curious enough to listen again to their first and third albums and was struck by how listenable they are. t... | |
| Review: Bose 201 Series V my peeve with bose is that they're ubiquitous in car audio and if (like me) you can't stand the bose system, you can't upgrade without spending megabucks on additional amps, signal processor, etc.--it's a proprietary closed system which doesn't l... | |
| Help picking an amplifier your mls don't look especially hard to drive, so any of your choices should work, but i'd opt for the parasound, which is hard to beat without spending a lot more. i'd probably start with a 3 channel amp, since you can always add another amp. | |
| Tidal News RE: Sprint Acquires 33 Percent of Jay Z's Tidal for $200 Million makes sense for all concerned. tidal was unlikely to ever show a profit as a free-standing enterprise and sprint needs content to compete/survive. i wonder if sprint will start discounting tidal to its subscribers, since that $19.99/mo. is a big i... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report ron wood, i've got my own album to do. i literally haven't listened to this disc in 20 years, but was surprised at how almost-uniformly strong the songs were. "mystifies me", later covered by son volt, is something of a lost classic. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? i agree with bdp on the untitled-era byrds, and untitled is kind of a schizophrenic record--the live sides are vg, but the studio side (chestnut mare notwithstanding) is pretty spotty. its predecessors, "dr. byrd" and "easy rider" actually hold up... | |
| Small form factor CDP? look at the project maia, which has a really small form factor | |
