Going through my Eric Clapton collection. Just One Night is a 1980 double album by Eric Clapton, recorded live at the Budokan Theatre in Tokyo, Japan, in December 1979. Love the live version of Cocaine on this set....

I guess I'm getting old, cause unless JRiver stops doing what it's doing for me, I see no reason to look elsewhere.

And for the record, it's not about "JRiver" but an app that keeps me happy with what it does.

But I do understand the need to explore different apps as I've done so myself, and also why I say I must be getting old :-)

And honestly, I don't think you'll hear much sonic differences between any media player, it's more a about features and options.

Here's another to make sure your sub does its daily low frequency exercises.
Great frequencies! (y)
I don't care for the performance or the performer, though. 🤷‍♂️

True, I wouldn't rate him as one of the greats either.

Wow. I just got my FiiO FT1 closed-back headphones:

1726595530283.png

Don't let the price fool you, these sound amazing. They have 60mm drives for the subs. I can hear the gamut of notes in the music I play. The bass is deep, but it's not too heavy. The earpads are large enough for my huge ears. Now I don't know which headphones to listen to! I guess I'll make decisions for which music sounds better on which headphones as I listen to different tracks.

Though I've multiple headphones, including the Sennheiser HD700 and HD800 S, I mainly stick with the HD800 S. Though I have to admit the HD700 are good for EDM or bassy music. Both headphones aren't known for their bass, but the HD700, with a custom cable provide for a more impactful bass signature.

Though I've multiple headphones, including the Sennheiser HD700 and HD800 S, I mainly stick with the HD800 S. Though I have to admit the HD700 are good for EDM or bassy music. Both headphones aren't known for their bass, but the HD700, with a custom cable provide for a more impactful bass signature.
I have similar reasons for the headphones. I like the Sennheiser's for classical guitar and other classical music. The FiiO's have far more bass, so those are for the wide array of rock genres I listen to. They also keep out a lot more noise, so when my wife is watching a movie on rockets or war movies at full volume, I can still hear my music. Both are comfortable, but the opened-back Sennheiser's breathe more, so my ears don't sweat. The Bose are also good for bass and moving around the house or in the yard. I don't like the earpads on the Bose, though. The faux leather is flaking, they're a little too small for my ears, and they're hot. But they're mobile and have the built in mic, so I keep them. I'm content with the sound I get out of my headphones, so I'm probably never going to need another pair unless one of the pairs I have breaks.

The two corded headphones I have don't pinch as much as the Bose, so I can wear them for prolonged periods of time while wearing my glasses, fortunately!
