I would try wiring a voice coil/magnet to a Kevlar vest and see how it sounds.

Pretty easy. Pop off the ear clips. Remove the foam ear pads. Take a small flat head screwdriver or what have you and carefully pry off the outer shell, just make sure you don't slip! I believe the left solder terminal on both cups is your positive, and the left is your neutral. It goes...

Sound quality would be the same, but the straight ones without cable in between will be rough on your headphone jacks.

You're getting Wav files because you're pushing the "Wav" button. You have to push the "Mp3" button and this will give you an output file of whatever compression codec you've chosen in the "Compression Options" menu. EAC - Compression Options - External Compression tab You must select...

A headphone amp to properly drive the Sennheiser HD 650's would make a bigger difference than a soundcard upgrade or an external DAC. Once properly driven then you will hear differences in sources. Sennheiser's high end phones are power hungry.

Saw this over at the Steve Hoffman forums and found the difference very easy to spot even on PC speakers. Quite a lot of digital artifacts in the "B" sample. It would be more fun if the samples would swap places at random whenever the page was refreshed to rule out lucky guesses.

Wow. This cd sounds great. I had to check to see that my speakers weren't on during that first track.

I want this. Badly.

Yep, I still have this mod in my sights for when I have money again. Soon...

My postman delivered to the store I used to work at when it was still in business, so I saw and talked to him pretty much every day. Nice guy.

What a generous offer! Count me in. OK, here's my story. I'm 21 years old. I currently play acoustic guitar and sing, and I'm also flat broke. I want to be able to record my own original songs, which right now is kind of impossible. I've also been looking into piano, percussion, and bass...

Get the self-titled McCartney with the spilled cherries on the cover. Flaming Pie also has a few gems on it.

This is the Microsoft RAW plugin. Doesn't Canon have a cheap if not free RAW viewer utility? I would certainly think that it would have better RAW processing capabilities.

I got nailed to the wall by my examiner when I took my first test this month. And not in a good way. Lot's of deductions for non-existent errors. Out of a possible 25 points deducted to pass, I got a 40. Ouch. First thing that comes to mind is that he marked me down for neglecting to check...

I've used Disc At Once burning before and it worked just fine, but now I'm having problems with cd's becoming unreadable at the exact same point on every cd I try to burn. I've ripped 17 .wav files using EAC and all have come out without any flaws. I've burned four copies of this mix, and...

I only scored 12/100. I'm a failure as a music fan.

Tell her you could have paid double that for the AF-D version. What camera do you have? Unless you have a D200 or better you wont have any metering capability with that lens.
