Your recommendations for cost-effective and musical sounding headphones?
This Phillips set compares favorably with the Senn 650 (though I prefer Senn 600 myself)  for about half the price:https://www.amazon.com/Philips-X2-27-Fidelio-Headphones/dp/B00O2Y2MZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=146...

Yes "Fragile" How great of an album is it?
I love the Yes album.  I like Close to the Edge and I think Tales from T.O. is good but I haven't spun it in ages.  Fragile just never did anything for me for some reason.
