Post A Photograph Of Your Turntable
Oh, wow, I just checked my CD copy of the vinyl in question and the noises are there if you listen closely. Must be poor recording quality. Still, I'm curious as to why these are there, but it's probably not fit for this thread.- ImitationOfLife

Post A Photograph Of Your Turntable
I suppose I'll pop in with another question--do any of you rip your vinyl? I'm hearing odd artifacts in the rips, which I can probably attribute to the soundcard on my Mac. At least I'm guessing. What else could it be? I don't really know how to describe it, but it's like the sound at 39...- ImitationOfLife

Post A Photograph Of Your Turntable
Well, I didn't know where to post this, but if need be, I'll make a thread. Just a few moments ago I was setting up to rip a 45 I bought new and have never played before. Everything was swell until the stylus was lowering, but I accidentally had it right off the record, resulting in it...- ImitationOfLife

Post pic(s) of your latest "significant" purchase(s)!!! v2.0
Quote: I do the exact same thing he does, except I turn it up louder at stoplights to get reactions. It's either k-pop, some sort of electronica, or metal. The unfortunate people can't pick their poison. Quote: I have to say, these are neat.- ImitationOfLife

Electronic Music Exchange (House, DnB, Dubstep, etc.)
Hi guys, just stopping by to see if anyone can recommend me some house/electro house. My absolute favorite house/electro house artists are Capsule (who I owe for getting me into electronic music) and She (his stuff is like house/chiptune combo). Capsule - "The Music" She...- ImitationOfLife

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
I still love my Pro900s, but the silver, shiny caps on the cups are almost impossible not to scratch. Iif you have OCD about that kind of stuff like me, it's terrible.- ImitationOfLife

Non-audiophile reactions to high-end headphones
I remember a while back I let one of my fraternity brothers try my HD650s, and he claimed they were noise canceling. He also commented on the cymbal decay. I'm guessing he turned it up ridiculously loud because he's likely deaf because he drives around in his Ford Explorer with his subs...- ImitationOfLife

Headphone Sightings 2
Not really a sighting on my part, but while I was in the mall last week, a woman kept kept double taking at me while she was walking away from me. This was presumably because I had my Ultrasone Pro 900s on to which she replied with an overly disgusted look. I mean, the headphones aren't that...- ImitationOfLife

Ultrasone Pro 900 Impressions Thread
I've had my Pro 900s for a bit over a week now, and I really like them. They are my portable cans, but I use them at home quite frequently. That being said, they haven't pushed my HD650s off of their throne. They are still my favorite.- ImitationOfLife

Show us your Sony ES collection.
Quote: Oh, I plan on keeping it. Both were hand-me-downs from part of my dad's old system. They ain't going anywhere. They are both from the same time period, so I'm not surprised they match so well.- ImitationOfLife

ARRIVED: new Rega DAC
Okay, thanks for the advice. I still need to sit down and compare the filters, but it just seems so tedious. I've had it on filter one since I started listening today. I think I'll make the switch to five now.- ImitationOfLife
