My grandpa has a bunch of 8mm and super 8 film from the 50's and 60's and I'm wondering how I can dub it to a digital format other than handing it over to a photo lab. For one thing, the film is in very good condition and probably doesn't need cleaning; more importantly as a matter of pride I...

Mostly I hear bay-er-dynamic, but it occurs to me that it could also be buy-er-dynamic or even bee-er-dynamic. Anyone who speaks german care to enlighten me?

It sounds like bunk to me, but then again I don't own a nano, maybe they really do scratch more easily. So, what do you nano owners think? Does this case have any merit? http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/pte...ple.nano.reut/ The one thing I know about class-action suits: the real winners...

Oh man, harry connick jr just blew it so bad. Branford Marsalis plays a little intro and then harry comes in, IN THE WRONG KEY. It was horrible, and I felt really embarrassed for them. Branford sorta noodled around for a while, was silent for a while, and then finally figured out the key towards...

I asked them some questions about manufaktur options, pricing, changes to the new line-up etc. Here is their response: Quote: Thank you for your E-mail and your request. Kindly excuse our late reply due to the quantity of messages which we have received during the last weeks as feedback...

Sorry if this has been covered in one of the many nano threads, but how is the quality of the wheel in comparison to full-sized ipods? It looks like it would be the same from pictures. I thought the cheap feel and poor responsiveness of the mini's wheel was one of it's major drawbacks. Has...

Zachary Vex is a guitar effect maker of some renown; I haven't used his stuff but it is well reputed. He also makes a 1 watt tube guitar amp for portability, headphone use, etc. I was pleasantly today when I saw his new 1wpc speaker amp on boingboing. Looks to be very well made with a...

I know somebody out there already spent several thousand on their vinyl setup and wants a computer to match. Anybody else think etsy.com could have tremendous potential? How 'bout audio stuff...

Anybody else seen this hilarious/terrible movie? Or rather, 30 minute "hip-hopera." Anyway, it's gonna be on (on the west coast) MTV2 at 1:30 and a couple more times over the weekend. If you appreciate corniness it is a MUST SEE.

Looks like ecost doesn't have the recon 650 anymore. On the other hand, this is a great price on the 280. Less than what I paid... http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=463755

Or do they come without one? All the ads mention the RB300 but not the cartridge.

Looks like apple is coming out with 2gb and 4gb shuffles. http://www.macnewsworld.com/story/t3...neAugust.xhtml Could be just a rumor I guess. But if it's true they'll probably drop the prices, too.

could these be used with portable USB DAC's like the bithead, overture, and (new) porta corda? You may need to install a driver, not a whole lot of them support USB-host locally (but many more do via a compactflash adapter), and storage is a whole 'nother issue. Has someone tried this out or was...

Those of you who have been at this a while probably don't care but I had never seen a lot of these headphones for sale: http://www.cke.co.uk/acatalog/HEADPHONES.html I think most of them are discontinued. I don't know what's wrong with me but I really like the styling of those old beyers...

Martin Denny, founder of exotica and jazz pianist, passed away in his sleep yesterday at the age of 94. He leaves behind a legacy of fantastic music, and far-reaching influece. I truly feel he was a genuis at creating an atmosphere/enviroment. Works very well as background music, yet stands up...

I am looking into getting some canalphones for maximum portability with my iPod, and I was wondering how the er-4s would sound unamped. My beyer dt-880's have a pretty good medium-loud sound (with the volume on max) and er-4s's have less than half the impedance. So how efficient are they? How is...

This one is a way over-my-head article about some guy who reverse engineered the firmware: http://vitanuova.loyalty.org/weblog/...a/2005/02/25/1 edit: this is the one with the info http://www.ipodlinux.org/stories/piezo/ This one is about how medical technicians have been using their...

So I finally broke down and bought an mp3 player, you'd think I'd have done it earlier with 33gb and growing; but truth be told none of the players out there really offer all the features I want. I really should have waited for the 80gb (probably this summer) but the price drop was just too...
