    'Toti Floods

    Rivers were immense and the sea is brown angry beast washing up all the crap that got flushed out from upstream. No water, eskom taking away power and lack of traversible roads are a stunning combination. That said this sunset this evening was absolutely amazing .

    Sennheiser HD800 OR Beyer-Dynamic T1, help please.

    TOYOTA ENGINE PROBLEMS OUTSIDE WARRANTY

    You want detail and resolution and also like to rock out a bit? Grado PS1000, I had the T1, HD800 and PS1000e all together for a time, whenever I really wanted to listen to something open I reached for the Grado, they were the most fun (also most uncomfortable). Price is high, but they really...
