What are you listening to right now??? (1 Viewer)

Back to headphones. I love Matthew Sweet’s ‘Girlfriend’ album. There are LOTS of guitars, and they can be busy at times, but their panning makes them a headphone dream. It’s like a whole new record now! Lots of his stuff is actually done that way, even drum tracks.

I’m gonna eventually get some Sonos speakers for the house (thanks @mtweller ) but s*** like this (and AC/DC and Black Crows) is why I’m also saving for a real tube amp and some Heresy’s. There is no substitute for L/R separation. I need to make the most of it while I have the space in this house. The eventual tiny house () will not be conducive to large speakers.

I DO love my Sonos. While not audiophile quality (it's digital streaming after all), I don't think my ears are anymore anyway. Way to many shows, guns, and power tools. I'm still searching for top quality earbuds for the plane, so I'm listening folks

As a kid, I watched this video and thought "This is what I wanna do. They look like weirdos and it's less technical than hair/speed/thrash metal so I can probably pull it off". (Ya know, cause shred guitar was still huge at this Pre-Cobain transitional moment.) As an adult, I watch this video and wonder what the hell I did wrong in life to miss out on making my dream pay off big time. Oh, that's right. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden. Everybody sounded the same but you weren't s*** if you weren't in Seattle. But, I mean, I had long hair and flannel...WTF??? Then I watched many friends from the road make the move out west and suffer more failure than they had at home, so I'm not complaining, just venting as I ponder life and it's strange course.

Sennheiser headphones and old school Acoustic Research Speakers. My two tools of “near audiophile quality sound without the ridiculous price tag”.

FNM's "Epic " was playing on my way home from getting dinner. havent heard falling to pieces in a long time.

We have 2 pairs of inexpensive mpow1 bluetooth headphones from amazon. I wouldnt know what to do with audiophile level stuff anymore, other than be nervous about how much it costs

Does this count? Listened to some Tex Ritter on the Victrola while visiting my grandmother last week.

Wow . . . nice video w/ Keith Richards and Chuck Berry

People who are my age know Linda Ronstadt as late 70s and early 80s as a country singer. They don't know that she was THE s*** in the late 60s and early 70s as a rock star - she DROVE acts to success like Jackson Browne, The Eagles and others. This video shows her "pull" still with one of the greats and one of the greats to be . . same stage!!

Linda WAS the shiit for some time. Quite an interesting catalog.
