I had both the SR80 and SR325i. The 80's are still around but, for me, the 325i was way too bright-sounding. They are also quite heavy and not the most comfortable. Eventually I settled on AKG K601's - very comfortable with a good, detailed sound that doesn't make your ears bleed. However I got a pa...

Wasn't that Aerosmith??

Just treated myself to the 40th Anniversary Deluxe 2CD version of Supertramp's 'Crime of the Century' and have long forgotten how many editions of this I have had over the years. This album and the follow-up 'Crisis? What Crisis?' formed my introdution to Rock Albums in the mid-70's. First impressio...

Thanks, I'll take a look at this - there also appears to be a complicated fix which allows Foobar to play the files.

He spent the afternoon giving demonstrations in hi...

I remember going to see Star Wars in Manchester when it first came out. The queue ran right around the cinema. I think I saw it 2 or 3 times within a fortnight. Then same happened for 'Live and Let Die'.

From the very beginning of Star Wars in the 1970's, George Lucas had 9 episodes planned - of which the original 3 films formed the central section.
Then came the 3 opening parts and now we get the trilogy that should bring the whole series to some sort of conclusion.
