Thanks. I'll probably try to listen to them as often as I can, just to see what its all about, and if there is any difference at all.

-A Great Big Pile Of Leaves-Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex 2xlp /500

-Ted Leo-The Tyranny Of Distance LP

-Murder By Death-10 Years wooden boxed set /250

I've heard its bull shit and i've heard the opposite. I do think its real, but less apparent in some headphones. I have heard that with the ATH-M50's, you can tell quite a bit of difference.

I just ordered a new pair of Audio-Technica ATH-M50 head phones. I read quite a few reviews on these before buying them, and found out that these, and other head phones, need "burning in". Which I guess just means some hours of playing time before they sound their best. So, anyway, I read in another review, that a guy had downloaded a few hours of "pink noise", and played it through the M50's while he went out, to burn them in. Does anyone know where I can download anything like this? Or another good way of burning them in? I could just listen to music to do the job, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to pump something through them for a bit while i'm out of the house.

I'd probably go for the grados if I didn't need closed back. I've settled on the ATH-M50's.

Thanks for all the info everyone. Grados, those things are everywhere. After researching a bunch of headphones, I think I hear more good things about them, than any. But, Closed, no outside noise cans are really what I need. So, i'm still debating between the Audio-Technica ATH-M50, and the Ultrasone HFI-580.

Thanks impact. That review is really good on the ATH-M50. But he says that they lack some aggressiveness for rock. But, thats coming from someone reviewing headphones, so hes probably just spoiled on expensive cans. Are they nice and sealed? I'll probably end up getting these, they are very affordable. I've heard good things about ultrasone HFI-580's too. but they're a little more expensive. I'm not gonna get all audiophile, I just want some headphones that sound really good.

Thank you, but I forgot to mention no earbuds.

I want some awesome headphones and I need some suggestions. Preferably somewhat affordable suggestions. I listened to some really nice ones at best buy a while back, and they sounded great, but they were $300…….Anyone?

Pm'd..

Very crafty, thanks a lot!

I recently trade a 7" to someone and don't have/have time to get any mailers. I don't deal with 7''s very often. I was thinking of putting an old, crap record I had in a 12" mailer, and just putting the 7 in with it. Is there anything you guys suggest using as an alternative to mailing a 7"?

Trying to get rid of pretty much all of the 7 inches I have. Other stuff I may or may not trade, depending.

Fantastic idea.

Are any of the Johnny Cash-American recordings LP's OOP now?

I've seen that some people ship, and store their records outside of the jacket, in the plastic protective sleeve. I'm assuming this is because it prevents ring wear on the jacket. Correct? If so i'll probably start storing mine like this.

Heyoo. I'm all moved in and checked everything out. My arm doesn't have any counter weight controls on the back. And I don't know where to look for the ant-skating. Also, the turntable is an Audio-Technica AT-PL50. Definitely not the best. I'll be buying a new one as soon as I can, but I'd really like to fix this one so i'm not with out records for a while.

I'm in the process of moving right now. But as soon as I get settled i'll check on all of this stuff. Thanks for the info.

The stylus isn't broken. Can you elaborate on tracking force, and anti-skating issue?

Last night I was playing a record. The needle dropped onto it, and as it started towards the grooves, it just slid across the record. I tried playing it a couple more times, and it did the same thing. I didn't know why it was doing this, but I thought about it for a second, and realized it could be because the needle was just worn out enough that it wasn't catching the grooves, thus sliding across the record. Is this my problem? I've had to replace worn out needles lots of times before, but this has never happened.

Murder City Devils-In Name and Blood re-issue in black and white splatter still sealed. Anyone want to trade?

And again...

Osker-Idle Will Kill (But I think thats already been shot down, right?)

or, even more so

Fingers-Cut Megamachine-S/T

Does anyone know the name of the color of the Torche "Meanderthal" record on page 1? My copy's color is called ice storm and isn't near that cool.
