    Ready to purchase custom In Ear Monitors

    I want flat response monitors more for personal High Fidelity listening. Vinyl rips and 24/96 recording. Think I will go for Ultimate Ears or Etymotic Monitors. I assume the custom inserts should feel the same and comfortable as far as them being created by an audiologist. Looking for feed...

    Monster Miles Davis Tribute thread

    WOW! Long thread. Here is how I use my IEM's and my experience. I have Etymotic's. Love the triple flange, fit great and stay sealed with some H2O, but the sound quality is not so much to my liking. Have a pair of Much cheaper Klipsch IEM's and like the sound better than the etymotics. Problem...

    How to rip DVD audio?

    Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody

    Maybe not so great to some today due to technical reasons also. Back then you had to experiment and jump through hoops to get to what they did. Today you can just cut, paste and digitally manipulate everything. Just a thought.

    I was told to drop acid 20 minutes before the needle drop and it's awesome! I have not listened to it yet. Don't know where to find the acid. Trippy, Trippy stuff .

    Finally, thank G-d, what appears to be the ultimate portable rig

    Ok, I am not afraid to say it. G-D is a statue of a cow made of gold that you bow to and worship.

    reel-to-reel deck (large pic warning)

    But, it's a collection. Just like any other collection. Reel to reel collection just needs more room. I had a pioneer reel to reel back in the 80's. I used it with a timer to get special stuff like concerts and specific radio programs. Just a few days ago i was thinking of maybe getting a...

    Dire Straights - Private Investigations (Best of)

    Since the intended quality is unfortunately the way it is, thats why i say just be the consumer complaining that the sound is distorted so the disk must be bad. If you argue it has been compressed and clipped, well that was done on purpose so you won't win that arguement trying to return it...

    Dire Straights - Private Investigations (Best of)

    I think this would be another good way to help rid the loudness crap. If it is extremely loud and clipped, return it saying the sound is distorted and so the CD is bad or defective.

    Is Led Zeppelin a Heavy Metal band?

    Why yes, that was heavy metal in their time. Yours may differ slightly today. I think they are pretty good myself.
