Help me with this strange hearing problem...
Hey there, I will try to make this as short as possible. Throughout my life I have noticed that I have very sensitive hearing compared to other people. Normal sounds/music levels would be too loud for me but were fine for other people. Going to movie theaters/concerts I would always have to...- Willanhanyard

Is this a safe level to listen to music?
Hay there, I have really sensitive hearing (or maybe I am just really paranoid), and a bit of ttinnitus. About 4 years ago I noticed that some sounds that were normal to other people, were really loud to me. This would mostly include music.

Worth it to upgrade STX with Burson Op Amps?
So I have a Xonar STX and a pair of HD 555's. I am wondering if upgrading the STX with 3 Burson op amps is worth the rather high $270 price. That's even more than a brand new STX :D I have heard very good things about the Burons, but I am wondering if I could use the money somewhere else...- Willanhanyard

Are modern CDs still lossless?
Since now a days the majority of people don't care about audio quality (iphone + apple earbuds :)) I am wondering if modern songs are still lossless, or do they just put an mp3 on it? If anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!- Willanhanyard

Current day "pop" with piano?
I'm not the biggest fan of pop, but I think it's a very interesting sound when they do rap with piano. Done examples are "Feel so close", "So good", and "Empire state of mind". If you could please recommend me some similar songs that would be great. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2- Willanhanyard

Place to get 40's/50's songs?
Pretty sure they didn't have CD's back then :p , and I'm not too sure of their audio resources back then. All I know is that music was very popular back then and it is my favorite genre. Where would I go about getting loseless quality music from then?- Willanhanyard

Is current day music (pop) burned to CD's with MP3 quality?
I am kind of getting into current day pop music, and I am looking at buying some CD's. My question is if the music on the CD's now is just burned from a lower quality file like MP3, and not a loseless codec. Sorry if I put this in the wrong section, but I am somewhat new :)- Willanhanyard
