  1. There are lots of new stuffs tossed into Mika Nakashima's "BEST" compliation. Firstly I would already get it for the first track, "Amazing Grace" which is produced and arranged by Chie Ayado, a very reputable Jazz veteran in Japan. All of the other tracks are remixed versions of the originals which gives it a nice compliment to the original. Crescent Moon & Glamourous Sky(better recording than the singles cd) is new too. I love the new "Aish*teru" as well. I feel that this album is way better recorded and pressed than her earlier ablums. Pls note that I am comparing japanese to japanese CD pressings.

    I'll gladly recommend this album if anyone to anyone. Her voice is simply magical with that unique tint of warmth like marsmellows with hot milo biggrin.gif . And I love getting dizzy with her "Stars" single without the crossfeed on. lol.

    BUY IT!! If not, for the beautiful photography insert.


  2. I can't really find a nice stand for my grados. The way the are like, it's better they be left on the floor. What I do is I get a nice cushioned square piece of mat to place them on. Tried hanging them before but they just left a strained on the leathered headband. As for your A900s, if you have an audio rack, perhaps you can try a hook attached on the underside of one of the racks. Then they can hang freely.


  3. I remembered the time when the Sharp MD33s were the Flavour of the Month. lol. Yea, now's the W5000 and the A900Ltd's are the in cans.

     

    Futura<<I don't think you'll go wrong with the Senns. It's been around for a good long time. Good luck on your purchase!

     

    Razer<<Why 4 62 128 555 999? lol, because I couldn't get hold of 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10....,61,63,64.....,127,129.. laugh.gif

     

    So guys, if I can't appreciate the K701s, I probably can forget about the senns eh? I have not been able to listen to one except at the audio stores. Looks like now I'll just major into my Aths then. happy.gif


  4. I read your other posts, so everyone's been to your place for auditioning already huh. I'll let you know when I get back yea?? headphone.gif  $50 rite?

    I've read your other posts as well. Dress up like one of those tokyo uncles and he might even invite you over and give you a free ES7. whistling.gif

    No, usually I tell them stories about the merlion and end up with a free R10. Now I already got R10 in serial no. 4, 62, 128, 555 and 999. I need to work harder to complete the collection. biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif


  5. That is an Atari TV Game console joystick. lol. Obviously you are not my time. happy.gif Today I went to town and I saw this fella. She, or HE or She looks so beautiful! Then I remembered you. Lol. If only I brought my digi cam. Then I pondered on my trainride home. It MUST be the eyebrows. All the boys here pluck their eyebrows until really fine and thin. And with the make up and the lip gloss and big hair, it only takes little for the imagination... laugh.gif


  6. Are you serious about the A900 for portable use? It is so big wont it fall off your head easily if you start to walk? blink.gif

    YES! I've seen some walking ard the streets with their Ath-A700s and Ath-Ad10 open can. I hate to be sitting next to him on the trains.

     

    Razer< Sorry, maybe "uncle" is not appropriate. How about "young uncles"? lol.

    I was once shocked when I asked for directions to get a husky reply from a chio auntie. hahaha. Scared the S*** out of me. No, she/he is not a trans. Just that they tend to look beautiful. Look at Sophia from the rock group. You'll see. lol


  7. So the K701's are out in Japan? Strange, the issue of K701 sounding thin has never been brought up before. Its actually more of a warm laidback lush sound. The SA5k I gotta agree with you. Its sounding too thin and cold and analytical for my liking..

    happy.gif I got it from Head-fi. I have no patience to wait for the release here. Also there's no indication of a confirmed release date. Warm and lush? humm... I really should steer clear of open cans. ppth.gif

     

    I read your other posts, so everyone's been to your place for auditioning already huh. I'll let you know when I get back yea?? headphone.gif $50 rite?


  8. Guess I dun have much taste for airy open cans. lol. 701s dun really appeal to me at all. My gf and I think they are really thin and bright. Couldn't appreciate the SA5K and the Qualia 010 too. wink.gif I'm steering clear of them for now.

     

    But hey, the K701 kinda comfy. Maybe because I got smaller ears? lol.


  9. Good bass department, no piercing highs, comfortable...humm. That sounds like a Beyer DT770 to me. Of all three, I find the 770s most confortable and most solidly built. 701s can sound a little bright in my opinion. Senns if you are a fan of senns. lol. But do go chk out the Beyers.


  10. Has anyone tried the other Hyde? L'Arc en Ciel?

    Their music is so easy to rock with. Amazingly nice tunes with power guitars. Hyde's quite an amazing dude. He's got solo and bandwork. Looks like he went thru a million dollars worth of surgery but hey, even the boys here dig him.

     

    The ARK album is a friggin good. Rock your grados with them. L'Arc en Ciel

  11. Why not get contact lens instead? Work ard your problem not your phones. lol sorry couldn't resist. biggrin.gif

     

    You're taking quite a leap from the E5s to the Ath sticks. Why not sell your E5c and get an Etymotics ER4s instead? You can nv go wrong with those. A point to note is that they are not that comfortable at but least they dun go round your ears. Sonically wise, they're brilliant. The PAIN is worth it! party.gif


  12. I like N.A. Her new album QUEEN OF HIP POP's pretty cool. And I think Linda Liao, the taiwanese singer looks a little like her.

    I dun mean to be rude, but yes, if you take away her face, then she does like like Namie. lol. Amuro is just so hot. I kinda miss her Eurobeat Jpop nowdays. But her R&B's not too bad. And I find that her voice is maturing and going a little warmer.

    Did you get her X'mas single, "White Lights"?


  13. LOL. This thread didn't even exist if I did not search for it. I guess old thread goes "hidden"? after sometime?

     

    Well, the new Mika's album is only a BEST of with a new track "Glamorous Sky". I got that single and it was so badly recorded despite being Japanese Pressed. I could hear hisses and static in the background. No, it's not my source, phones, amps or cables. lol.

     

    Anyone here in love with Amuro Namie?
