Take a look at the Eastern Electric MiniMax Tube CD Player- GREAT sounding headphone amp and tube cd player. Really opened up the soundstage and details in my Grados.

As an owner of Siamese Dream (brings me back to my high school days), I actually think that though the album is good musically it is actually pretty poorly recorded (a bit thin sounding, almost no bass, harsh highs). Try listening to the album with a good pair ($100+ Grado, Sennheiser, Audio...

If there are any left, Grado made a limited edition run of 450 HF-1 headphones last month. They were made specially for the forum members at www.head-fi.org, hence the HF-1. Join the forum and get a pair if you can; production originally was slated for 300, due to excess demand an additional...

Hello, I'm looking for a dynamic mic to add to my collection that will primarily be used for live and studio vocals and occasional micing of guitar or keyboard amps. What I have right now is a Shure SM57 and an Audio Technica AT4047. I've been researching and it seems like the SM7B and the...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knew which synths were used by these bands, particularly on Air's "Moon Safari" and Stereolab's "Emperor Tomato Ketchup" and "Dots and Loops." Some great synth sounds on these albums... Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, Ron

Now for Something More Left of the Dial... David Bowie - Heroes The Velvet Underground - I'm Waiting for the Man; What Goes On; Sister Ray Roxy Music - All I Want Is You My Bloody Valentine - To Here Knows When The Verve - Catching the Butterfly The Stone Roses - Elephant Stone; I am the...

Anyone who's heard this 50s doo-wop throwback know the mic used to record Lou Reed's vocals? Thanks, RL.

Just a quick question- I'm thinking of upgrading the strings in my Tele to 0.10-0.46 gauge strings from the stock 0.09-0.042s. Before I give it a go, would this require any shaving of the nut to get the strings to fit? It is a Japanese 1968 Walnut body remake, if that helps... Thanks, Ron

c3hammer, Will do sometime tomorrow. Thanks. -Ron

Hi, I recently picked up a used 1981 Rickenbacker 4003 bass on eBay, however when it arrived 2 days ago I noticed a crack in the 9th fret inlay (sharktooth shape inlay, for those unfamiliar with the Ricks). I talked to the seller, and he agreed either to refund the bass or give a partial...

http://www.lavacable.com/cable_comparison.htm Highly worth checking out for a brand by brand cable comparison.... in my opinion this guy's reviews are pretty damn accurate. my personal faves are Cobalts for XLR, hi-fi, and speaker cables, and Lava Cables as a great budget option, and actually...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone on this forum has had experience with the Cobalt XLR cables and/or the Canare Star Quad L-4E6S Cable (the Lava Cable Microphone Cable in this specific instance). I've read lots of great things about the Cobalt cables (ex...

Any opinions on Carvin pickups would also be welcome... thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions. Has anyone tried the David Gilmour ESP active pickups? Someone once suggested those to me...

Confused by the title? Let me clarify a bit. I have a 95 (?) Fender MIM strat that has served me well for the past 8 years, but has fallen along the wayside with the arrival of a Fender Custom Shop strat and a Gibson Les Paul Std. I would still like to use this guitar as somewhat of a project...

Thanks- took a look at the thread. Does anyone know if Fripp used Frippertronics for the David Bowie song Heroes?

Hello, I'm trying to get these specific kinds of guitar sound- any advice on pickups/amps/guitars/effects for obtaining the following guitar sonics. I'd like to keep guitar purchases to a minimum; currently I have a 97 Fender Mexican Std. Strat and an 05 Les Paul Std. I'd like to work with a...

I don't really listen to much metal, hard rock, blues, or "jam bands," so this list may have some glaring omissions, but here's my take anyway, throughout the years (in no particular order): CHUCK BERRY: Not really sure if underrated, but doesn't seem to be given the credit he deserves among...

Right now, I have my Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 computer speakers connected to one of 2 Amped Stereo Headphone Outs on My Omni Studio Box. Is the sound quality I am getting out of the speakers in any way reduced or coloured because of this setup? Also, is there any optimal setting for the headphone...
