Great!...will go to HMV to have a listen to these

One thing you will notice is that you will recognise the above classical pieces. However, personal suggestion, if you are starting out with Classical, try a wider range. Don't limit yourself to only large classical pieces...try some more intimate chamber etc.. Also, many Classical pieces includes slow and fast movements...

Some other suggestions for Classical noobs:

1) Vivaldi - 4 Seasons Violin Concerto...

2) Rachmaninov or Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto 2 and Piano Concerto 3

3) Brahms - Double (Violin and Cello) Concerto

4) Brahms - Violin Concerto

The above are the more tuneful style of Classical music...to get you started..

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture

Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries (from the Opera Die Walküre)

Among others...

Hey guys,

 

Dunno if i should post this here but theres alot of things i just wanna get it off my chest cause i cant seem to find the right answers on my own, whether is it in Yahoo or Google.

 

I am a proud owner of a Grado SR60...was looking for it for around half a year since i read it in HWM but recently got it a month ago after i stumbled into this site.

Now im just very happy to say that sgheadphones is one of the sites that i click into everyday and that im even a member

 

1) Okay, opening speech is over. Im actually very amazed at how you people are able to listen to what non-experts does. Im just one of those, and i kinda 'aspire' to reach your level tho im still stuck at the 'good music means loud and got bass can already' level. How did u guys achieve this feat? In-born or u guys really do have headphones stuck in your heads 24/7? How can i reach your level if theres really a solution?

 

2) This is where its gonna get u sleepy But please i really do need answers! Haha...This qns is all about terms, audio terms. I just cant seem to understand them maybe cos i flunk my science? Here's the list (be prepared )

a) Tranducer type - Whats dynamic and what other terms are there?

Frequency Response - Whats tt? Bigger numbers better?

c) SPL 1mV / Signal to noise - Is this volume? Also bigger better? Oh wats dB?

d) Impedance - Ohms? For wat?

e) Distortion - ???

 

3) How to you guys identify 'Highs' and 'Lows' in the music?

 

K...shall pause here first for the qns...they will keep coming tho... Dun wanna pressure u guys...haha...
