I upgraded from a pair of M-Audio AV40 to RuarkAudio MR1. They're definitely more refined.   

  What are speakers standing on?

Thanks for the feedback.   Opted for the Sony as it is significantly cheaper than the Panasonic. It's physically much smaller than my old CRT and image (at least for widescreen stuff) is larger. Watching YouTube (the Sherlock Holmes mini episode) surprised me - no stuttering (which happens...

I've been using a 29" CRT TV since 1996 (I think) and would finally like to upgrade to a modern flat panel full HD TV. I have a few questions :   1) Would 32" panel be too small? I mean would the image size be smaller than a 29" CRT for widescreen movies? 2) Are there still image quality...

Much prefer their earlier stuff.

I recently bought myself the M50 and can say I am satisfied with the purchase. They isolate well and are decently comfy. The run ok off an iPod but could definitely do with an amp. Which is going to be my next purchase :)       Quote:

Yeah, I'd love to know if there are significantly better than the CDs from the 1980s. I've always been skeptical about remasters but the difference between the Legacy Edition of Bitched Brew and my old double disc CD from the 1980s was quite night and day. If the new Led Zep remasters are that...

Quote:   Most of my Led Zep CDs were bought in the mid / late 1980s, so if the new remasters are indeed better than maybe it is would a re-purchase.

Quote:   I don't use iTunes to buy music, but in general, I find it lacking when it come to sort order options in the various song, album, artist, genre views. Maybe I'm just spoilt by Foobar.   I do like some aspects of iTunes 11 - the Album view is much more usable than cover flow...

Installed. Initial thoughts :   Looks cleaner than before and seems to load faster. Like the new Album, Artists and Genre views. Will need to use it more to see if there are usability issues - on my 22.5" full HD screen, I can only see 4 albums per screen which is not good since I have a...

This is what I read when I did a search : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4554632?tstart=0   But great to know it is generally running fine on PC. Will update over the weekend.

Any major bugs I should worry aboutfor PC version of the upgrade? Read that iTunes 11 fails to update play counts ...

After all these years, I've finally got my hands of Agalloch's The Mantle and Ashes Against The Grain. Really excellent stuff.

PowerAmp just won't play nice with my SGS1, so I gave up and am now using a combo of Songbird and Winamp. N7 has a nice UI though.

Had a Netgear that worked fine for a good 7+ years. Recently switched to a Belkin (it was on sale) because the Netgear did not have good range - couldn't really get a good signal in the living room and my apartment is small. The Belkin somehow sorted the problem.   But yes, agree with...

Quote:   x2.   I used SGS1 with stock Samsung firmware and no Voodoo Sound - sound was definitely worse than just about any of my other MP3 players (iPod Touch 4G, iPod Classic, Samsung YP-T9). Wolfson DAC gives the phone potential to sound good, but stock manufacturer implementation...

Quote:   Any idea if SGS on CM7 can take a 64GB micro-SD?

Quote:   Thanks for the info. Will look into the builds you mentioned.    Read good things about Semaphore kernel but haven't gotten to the point of flashing kernels yet :) Still a novice at these things.

Quote:   Thanks to Totally Dubbed's videos, I've gone from stock SGS to DarkyROM and CM7 in the last year. His videos are the easiest way for a novice (like me) to start playing around with the phone. THANKS! 

Quote:   Supercurio tweeted that "#GalaxySIII includes an USB driver named "snd-usb-audio". Only testing will tell if it means USB DAC are supported out of the box." So, we'll have to wait for someone to actually get their hands on a handset first.  ...

Quote:   Crap. That's expensive. Will wait and see what prices are like here in Hong Kong.
