07.13.19 | I invested in some entry-level audiophile headphones last year, and the album that I noticed the biggest improvement in sound was R Plus Seven by Oneohtrix Point Never, followed by Mezzanine by MA. I think electronic lends itself to really dense soundscapes with layers that are easily drowned out by bad playback equipment. |

07.13.19 | True, the Brown Album by Orbital is absolutely magnificent whenever I play it on my studio monitors. |

07.13.19 | Under $150, Logitech speakers are pretty good. Mids are decent on the z623's, and the clarity is phenomenal. |

07.13.19 | make sure to get the original release/master of almost any cd made before 1990. they put a lot more effort into it back then and music was less compressed, designed to sound best on nice speakers as opposed to airpods or whatever.
2.1 or 2.0? adding a subwoofer really takes it to the next level for a lot of music |

07.13.19 | Headphones are just way more immersive for me. I don't notice a lot of details in dense music without headphones. |

07.13.19 | Headphones are the way to go. Unless you are one of those insanely rich people with 100k speakers and platinum wiring at home. |

07.13.19 | Nothing beats a good sound system |
Pikazilla
07.13.19 | Ye, if you can afford it. But I'd rather pay 5k for headphones than speakers. |
TheNotrap
07.13.19 | I've fortunately had some over time, now I have a wife and kids. Headphones or being kicked out of the home. I chose headphones. |
TheNotrap
07.13.19 | My car has a decent sound system. That's how I know if an album has good production or not, because everything (or almost everything) sounds good on headphones. |

07.13.19 | Nothing like the blown out speakers in my 1988 Accord |

07.13.19 | pretty sure Pelosi is far from everything. does she even have an in-house voting right? |
Avagantamos
07.14.19 | most of monolake's stuff from 2001-2005 comes to mind for me. really detailed production with some clean ass bass |
