Indeed. For those who are interested, doing it over and over again is really the only way to improve. I look at web design like a big box containing an infinite number of every Lego brick ever molded. You're probably not going to build a masterpiece the first time you try, even if you understand basically how the pieces fit together. Every project I do is better than the last one, and every time I learn something new.

You know you're an audiophile when poor audio production quality and mixing interfere with your ability to lampoon old Godzilla movies with your friends (forget MST3K, we do it on our own).

Sounds like Counter Strike

Very slow day for this thread.

You  know you're an audiophile when Journey is playing SOMEWHERE in Sam's club and it's driving you mad because all you want to do is find the source, examine the source, then, finding it inadequate, return to your own rig for comfort...but nooooo, you actually have to go "grocery shopping"

You know you are an audiophile when you hear journey playing somewhere in a store and it is driving you mad because all you want to do is take a sledge hammer and shut the thing up and return to your setup and listen to led zeppelin to wash away the harm that has been done to your ears : P

The only reason why I go is because they have a bigger screen and higher resolution.

 

 

Doesn't matter how good the system is, a concert will always have a lot of noise generated by the audience, which is no better than 128 kbps mp3 IMO. The volume level is also unadjustably deafening.

Not when you are the sound guy :)

Even then, Sometimes I wear my ETY earplugs when people get annoyed when I turn it down a bit. Last major show I did sound for got up to 106 and that went for several hours (took that measurement at the very back of the audience area)

Sorry for the old post reply

You know when your an audiophile when you ask artists for FLAC or similar lossless on youtube when the download link is in 320kbs

Or a sound engineer.

My speaker cables cost more than that and then there is multicore cable... 

almost $600 for the cable alone and that wasn't even the most expensive I could get

Wow... Journey is harm to you? Tsk tsk...

...when you use audiophile fuses in your car. (my dad - purely a coincidence though - but it seems like those good fuses people put on Maggies) It was on the wires from the battery.

As for myself, I spend more time obsessively cataloging the dynamic range of my music library, before fretting over the lack of dynamic range, than I actually listen to said music. I don't even know why I am doing this. Especially for the J-pop/Anisong/OST playlist, where dynamic range lies in the range of 5-9. There were a few outliers though, for both ways - some of which highly surprising.

Better the connection and ground, the higher the volts and the cleaner the power. Cleaner power+more volts=louder and cleaner sound. Car audio is astronomically expensive if you want to go nuts.

I actually did that during a gig. I was front stage at a Newton Faulkner concert and asked him to release his new EP in Flac. He said he'd talk to his agent about it.
