    New to Classical Music - advice?

    Just curious.....does Amazon automatically download the 256 bit version of these?  Or do i have to choose a file format somehow during the purchase process?     I was a bit leery of buying any music off of amazon because of the lack of choice of format, but this is encouraging, and I already...

    Is there such a cable...?

    @happy camper: since when does a diy headphone re-cable have to cost as much as the phones or more?!    @OP: read up in the diy forum a bit....I think you'll find it'd be pretty reasonable to create the cable you want yourself....

    Grado sound, Bose comfort and Ultrasone S-Logic surround and EMF shielding to reduce 98% of emmissions. Does it exist ?

    first off "emf field" is redundant....   second...the emf is making your ears tired?    I think you're mistaking a debatable health concern with the feeling you get from listening to a headphone brand known to be very fatiguing to all but a few sets of ears......

    today's vinyl quality?

    Most of the time a cd, record, or a copy of a recording in general will be labeled as "remastered"......some are good some are bad....no tell tale signs other than by listening i guess.

    today's vinyl quality?

    Quote:  the only reason your records sounded that way back then was because they were dirty, scratched or full of static....and yes, they would do the same today in the same condition.    has nothing to do with old vs new.....its condition of the record that matters.

    Software for FLAC to ALAC Conversion

    oh, and also, itunes has a setting for how much time is elapsed between tracks...pretty sure you can turn on gapless playback in itunes and get the same result.....   Quote:

    Software for FLAC to ALAC Conversion

    try QUEtools...works great. is really simple, and it can do track splits, with any spacing in between, or even take out the track splits by simply turning off the option to split tracks up.  so you could put those classical pieces back together theoretically.   great little program....make sure...

    Quote: knives are tools first and weapons second....dont even start that bull hockey here....99% of the people in this thread carry knives because they use them as tools, not because they want to stab something/someone with them....     ...and blade lenth and the style of lock and...

    Sunglass-Fi?

    Hey, speaking of serengettis, I have a pair with the glass lenses, and I managed to crack one of them!  does anybody have a good idea as to where i could get them replaced for a reasonable price?  (i.e. not three quarters of the original price of the glasses!)
