  1. 48kHz -- yeezh. Even the M-Audio manages 24/96.
  2. Is this reverse-psychology advertising?
  3. So I was trying to look up a recent purchase -- Prokofiev "premiere" recording of Queen of Spades with On Guard for Piece -- and I wandered over to their website which led me to their online store, which appears to sell (in British Pounds Sterling) lossless audio. Anyone know what resolution theirs are at? I see "24/96" on the corresponding CD page of most recordings that interest me, but the CD's are obviously not 24/96, and I see nothing on the audio download page.
  4. 2 way design with two woofers? Never mind, I can look it up myself. I do find the tweeter placement pleasant. Oh, and: hawt!
  5. I think that was a reference to this sentence -- the (as yet) fictitious new Sony:
  6. Lara St. John, Vivaldi & Piazzolla's Four Seasonses on SACD
  7. The Stax SR-001Mk2 is also completely open, forgot about that one. And sound quality is excellent. Downside is the fit necessary to get good sound is fiddly.
  8. No, the thing I didn't like about Evanescence wasn't Amy Lee, it was the lack of melody in the music, so I don't think I'll be checking this out. Heck, I didn't even know they had broken up.
  9. $150?!?!?
  10. I don't know of any ear buds that won't isolate too much. So new answer: Sony MDR-7506/-V6 ... & a bigger helmet.
  11. Sony MDR-7506/-V6 - Pretty good sound quality without an external amp, if a bit bright - Isolates ... somewhat - Fairly well made (not a tank like the Beyer DT770, but the DT770 isolates too much) - < US$100, so if it gets broken, won't be heartbroken - Folds
  12. They can soundstage like speakers, you just need a binaural recording.
  13. Wait, when did you get it working? Did I miss something, again? PS Burled headphones == the hotness. But you should stay away from woodying the K1000's. MHO.
  14. "...still now right now..."? But yeah, I meant lack of sunspots.
  15. Jesus, dude, it's Sunday. Give it a rest.
  16. (translation: sympathies, as per everyone else)
  17. You might want to make sure you have the right drivers for your graphics card rather than the generic one(s?).
  18. I'm with Ian -- not a big fan. Maybe $90 more than it's worth.
  19. Sunspots
  20. Really nice place you have there, Matt!
  21. Easy Virtue (mentioned in the movie thread)
  22. Jesus, are you in a null or something?
  23. My cat woke me up at 3. Went for a walk; ran the dishwasher; put the dishes away; installed window air conditioner in room; showered, all before 9 a.m. Went and saw a movie, lounged at B&N.
