    ~ Michael Lee Firkins' first album (st) has excellent sound quality and absolutely stunning guitar playing. Sadly it went downhill after this due to (or so I've read) budget cuts. The self-titled album, though, is definitely one I would recomend as a "reference shred" album. ~ I feel that...

    Buckethead's solo in Jordan is the best solo ever recorded.

    For pure speed/intensity there are a few sogs I would put above or on par with Jordan: ~ Nottingham Lace - Buckethead (same artist! Come on.) ~ Rice with the Angels, Time is the Enemy (Persona versions) - Jonas Hellborg (live: YouTube - Shawn Lane- Rice with the Angels) ~ Kaiser Nancarrow -...

    What are your ripping habits for new CDs?

    Every CD I buy I generally go through the same process: 1) Begin ripping the first CD to FLAC with EAC. 2) Once the first song is done ripping (usually very quickly) I start listening to that song in foobar while the others rip. 3) Finish ripping the first cd, still have to listen to quite a...

    X-fi optical to DAC (zero?) worth it?

    Recently I've been considering adding an external DAC to my computer. I'm on a bit of a budget, so getting a Zero DAC was what I was mostly considering. I'm not in a huge hurry, so I'd be keeping my eye on the for sale sections for a while. I'm mostly wondering if the increase in sound...

    At your normal listening level can you easily hold a conversation while listening to music?

    When I'm listening in a quiet place, such as my bedroom or living room or in class, I listen at lower volumes. I can have a conversation in these situations. When on the subway, on a busy street, or skateboarding, I listen at a higher volume so that I can hear the music. In these situations I...

    Rce cooker fi

    I've always considered getting a rice cooker but never actually went ahead and did it. I always just did it on the stove with a pot of simple plain rice with water, stirring occasionally so as not to burn the rice. It's really that impressive? maybe I should just grab one, it would probably make...

    What do you while you listen?
