So? A modern modern record is probably being done at 24/96 or 24/192, which a CD can't handle. Whereas a record will capture all of it -- so just because it's done in digital, doesn't mean the end result should be digital. I know the pedants over at sh.tv were whining when they found out the record version of Pink Floyd's Echoes compilation was done off the same digital master tapes, but L -- it was 24/96 (IIRC), which should still sound pretty damn good. Like I said -- you keep telling yourself that. I think you're speaking in over-generalizations. BTW, dynamic range <> transients. Yeah, those cannon shots would pop the needle out of the record. And it doesn't take as expensive a system as you're portraying to keep the rice krispies quiet. I'm pretty sure Hirsch's system (including cleaning machine) is only a couple thousand. I'm also pretty sure it can be done for even less (substituting a different table, and a more manual-intensive record-cleaning machine).

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. CD's have only just barely gotten into the realm of fully utilizing their entire dynamic spectrum, whereas analog has had decades more development. In other words, most of the CD's you have do not have the same dynamic range that vinyl does. But yeah, if all you listen to is live music, it's kind of hard to get a record cutting machine into a concert.

Preach on.

To me, most Grados look alike.

Oh, okay, I didn't read the whole thread...sorry...I got overwhelmed when I frequented there...

Yeah, I figured out which thread it came from based on the one quote, and you're right, it didn't. And aerius -- awesome South Park reference.

So the mods here use moderation to forward their own selfish agenda, and to instill a fear of posting any other agenda...this is better than Head-Fi how?

Actually, that's not new -- you could do translucent windows in XP. Download, for example, Process Explorer.

No need -- it's the one I use. And why the fuck did this thread get snipped from its other one? It makes no sense on its own.

Maybe to them it looks like a Fleur-de-lis?

But isn't audiocircle just a bunch of vendor-driven forums, anyway?

I guess it depends how good the special pricing is -- if it was (a) something I was going to buy anyway, and ( I could be sure that I was getting the same quality product as I would be if I got it through whatever other channels I was considering (I.E. if he was claiming it was new, and I was considering buying it new, it better come with a valid warrantee), I wouldn't be bothered. But as you so astutely pointed out, it does echo of activities of that other asshat-infested place, so...(shudders)...I don't know if I'd take them up on the offer. But yeah, it's like the PM-equivalent of spam. Why don't they just post publicly?

Both of those were awesome. My contributions: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaVsaWjzsds]How Michel Gondry solves the Rubik's Cube with his feet[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB8XedMowDU]Michel Gondry solves the Rubik's Cube with his nose[/ame]

You wanna borrow a pair of HD600's and a Clou Blue?

Quoted for appreciation.

I tell you whut, I'm not much of a gamer, but Overlord makes me want to get back into it.

I really dig that -- have it all the time. Sugar (or rather: corn syrup) and formaldehyde. Nom nom nom nom... PS I'm full of shit -- didn't read Justin's wikipedia entry. I wonder what's in the dip? It tastes too sweet to only be yogurt. And the nuts are covered in something (aerius, please refrain from your "dried K-Y jelly" joke that I see coming)...

Uh...no. Most of us here are here because we do not like to be sheep and follow the crowd. Your explanation works for people on that other forum as to why they like RSA stuff, but doesn't work here. I like what I like because it sounds good.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

L, no, I'm a large or an extra large...

Audio Technica FTW -- W2002, W5000. ...but what were those really dark ones that someone posted, vintages? The L3000's are "okay" -- I'm not particularly enamored with their looks, just their sound. I do like the fact that they look different, but I wish they came in black, even if it had to have light stitching. I could always run them over with a sharpie, I guess...

Yeah, looks like I did actually write that, and my minute discussion with him about his switchbox is in another thread...I'll have to dig it up... And I found the webarchive site, it's here.
