If anyone is curious the vinyl isn't brickwalled and I think it sound great.   

Yea I'm looking forward to the vinyl.

Quote: Well I may have to give it a shot then. I'm actually comparing the two right now. The remaster definitely has a lot more bass so far, but it's hard to a/b the two because i have to keep changing my volume back and forth.

Quote:   Well I admit I haven't heard both but just looking at the waveforms the original looks like it has way more dynamic range. And the trouble with brickwalling is that it destroys the dynamic range and distorts the recording. Whenever a song clips it distorts.   Original...

I'm really disappointed in Trent, out of all the artists I would expect him to make sure this sort of thing didn't happen.   Does anyone know of the vinyl is mastered any better?

Quote: Yea I didn't even notice any of my spelling errors until I started showing my comics to other people. I will definitely be double checking my comics from now on. Just finished another comic, this is definitely one of my personal favorites so far.  

Quote: I feel kinda stupid asking this, but could you explain?

  Sorry for the double post but I though head-fi would appreciate this one.

  Quote: I really appreciate the criticism, most people don't the time to write such an in depth review. I'll definitely check out American Splendor, I will definitely be posting more comics. I'm posting a new one everyday

Any criticism would be appreciated.

  When I was little I was a big fan of The Farside and Calving and Hobbes, in fact I still am. A couple of months ago I acted on impulse and decided to start my own webcomic. Just wanted to share it with some fellow headfiers. Check it out: http://www.endlessorigami.blogspot.com/

Yea it's pretty good, i like his other stuff a little better because the rapping adds to it. But it could serve as a good segue for people who don't usually listen to rap/hip hop

Quote: Interesting, Spiderland is one of my favorite albums. I love it just because it creates such a tense atmosphere using a relatively small amount of instruments. I'm also a big fan of the singers voice, and the rawness and desperation it has, for me at least. But I completely...

Yea I was thinking I needed to upgrade my dac. I'm thinking of getting a v-dac, although its a little bit more than I would like to spend. It seems odd that the headphones may end up being the cheapest part of my setup.

Just curious what would be my best option if I wanted to upgrade my system. I've basically got 3 components that I can upgrade, my dac, my amp, or my headphones.       My Setup:   Computer with all of my music in Lossless   Nuforce uDac ($100 but supposedly really good for the...

That's the first time I've ever heard that saying, and I must say it's brilliant. Personally I like the new look of head-fi, but I never was too frequent a user so maybe I'm not noticing the drawbacks to the new layout. I do agree though, that you should at least have the option to use the old...

I would recommend: King Crimson - Red King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (the "first" prog rock album) Tool - 10,000 Days and if you want something really out there and experimental try Angherr Shisspa by Koenjihyakkei. Remember to keep an open mind.

Quote: Originally Posted by Shark50521 I find Milk Lizard by DEP also quite approachable. I second this. I would also recommend the 6the track off their new album titled Widower. It starts off very mellow and builds from there.

I really like it so far, some of the tracks get so damn epic.
