Battle Of The Flagships (50+ Headphones Compared) THE BATTLE OF THE FLAGSHIPS continued... For nearly five years, the AH-D7000 held the title of heavyweight champion in Denon's headphone line until it was discontinued in 2012. The AH-D7100 is Denon's newest flagship. As is the case with all of Denon's current headphones, the drivers of the D7000 were designed by Foster Electric Company, Limited. Foster is, of course, better known in the headphone world as the founder of the manufacturer Fostex. Perhaps, this is why the TH900 is strikingly similar in appearance to the AH-D7000. I owned the AH-D5000 for several years prior to purchasing the AH-D7000.

The D7000 is similar to the D5000 in several ways: the headband design; the incorporation of wood ear-cups; even the full tone. When I compare the D7000 against other extreme high-end headphones such as the HD800, HE-6, LCD-3, T1 and SR-009, I feel it falls a bit short with regard to the naturalness of the sound. TONALITY: The D7000's frequency response is not flat by any means. Kickstarter: The playGo AP1 AirPlay and DLNA Wireless Receiver.

For maximum effect, you should watch these two videos in sequence. It’s the same aria in the same 2009 Metropolitan Opera production of “Tales Of Hoffman” being sung two very different ways. Today, opera has pretentious undertones that scare people away. Okay, yes, it’s probably the undertones and all of the foreign speakey-talk. I myself didn’t really get into opera until I learned that reading the libretto beforehand wasn’t considered cheating. Anyway, it’s a shame that so many people don’t give opera a try. “Tales of Hoffman” has elements of many genres. (See? And there’s another similarity between opera and movies: mainstream audiences wanted to be thrilled and excited. In this first video, Olympia is sung with vim, precision, charm, and humor by principal performer Kathleen Kim. Why is it that you often see Craigslist cattle calls for TV singing competitions, but you never see one for a coloratura soprano role?

Kim, an elite professional, accelerates through every curve. So. Journal de sljiva – My Top 50 Electronic Music Albums Of The 2000s – Last. Somewhat late comes my list of the best albums of the last decade, but I was occupied alot the last couple of months and was rarely even online, plus I wanted to carefully check out all the albums released in 2009 to determine if something is suitable for the list (haven't unfortunately found anything exceptionally good), so better late than never I guess.

I just want to say that in my opinion this last decade was amazing when it comes to electronic music. Technology really created a space for further experimentation and innovation and a lot of talented producers appeared who had an ability to fill up that space. Some others didn't even had to utilize the new technology to unleash the creativity which expanded and redefined some older styles and created some new ones. As of genres, I hardly decided to include them, but they could cause a confusion so let's clear this right now. 50. 49. 48. 47. 46. 45. 44. 43. 42. 41. 40. 39. 38. 37. 36. 35. 34. 32. 31. 30. 29. 28. 27. 26. 25. 24. 23.
