Well, most of today's "music", if you can call it that still, has no soul or life to begin with. It all sounds very similar, bands sound the same with no individuality and seem to be mass produced. My opinion of course. And people still buy it and listen to it.

I've recently bought some high end audio gear and headphones. I used to use on-board sound and a pair of Senn HD 212 Pros, but have upgraded nicely. Now I have a Xonar DX soundcard, going to a Maverick Tubemagic A1 headphone amp, and listening through some Beyerdynamic DDT 880s, the 600 ohm version. So far I am liking a vacuum tube amp, kinda got the upgrade bug now. Might see about getting some other gear after a bit to test. I am also migrating my music collection, from what has mostly been 320 Kbs MP3s for the last several years, to FLAC. Figure it's time to go lossless. Switching all my PMP to those that support FLAC. Now the only thing I'll have to use MP3s on is the in the car.....for the time being. Hell, I might even just get a PMP to keep in there and listen from it instead of a thumb drive.
