Is there a way to have iTunes default to ALAC when downloading?

I totally forgot about the exchange this year. Keep me in mind if someone drops out. Thanks

Are Custom Streets similar to the Custome One Pro? Thanks

I know this is an old thread but I was hoping for some help. Is there a way to download Apple lossless files from the iTunes Store? I know I can convert the songs but I'm not sure if that's a true lossless file or a compressed file that Apple just made bigger. Thanks for the help.

I had a great time. Thank you to all who help set the meet up. It was nice meeting most of. I found all the set up very inspiring as I'm more of mid-fi guy. I'm definitely going to try to make a Seattle meet this year. Also, thank you to all the awesome vendors. Take care all and hope to see...

My wife and I will be staying in downtown Portland Friday night so if anyone needs a ride from that area let me know. Also, is OK if I just bring my headphones and portable source? Im sure my mid-fi source/amp gear of mid-fi gear would be redundancy anyway. Enzo

What head headphones?

My super portable music set up: iPhone 6s Plus with a Carbon fiber case. Spotify Premium downloading 320 kbit/s. Fidue A83 earphones with Comply tips.

I still love my set up.

I'm in again this year. I would prefer US only but if need I can do international. 

Awesome song. 

I know this is an old theard but I thought I would try to bring it back to life. I'd like to see what members are using as a running set up. I've tried IPods, Fiio X3, and my smartphone. All had there strengths. My current warm weather set up is a 2GB iPod shuffle, Creative Aurvana 3 taped to a...

I am no expert but here are my thoughts. I have had both headphones M50 (not the M50x) Arvada Gold and can't say I liked either one much. To my ears the sound very congested and muddy especially in the mid range. I actually liked the UE 6000 better which can be had for around $50 used. If you...

My office set up. I'm fortunate to have a private office at work so I don't have to worry about sound leakage.

My modest setup. Always puts a smile on my face.

How far is that from Seattle? I'd probably bring my 17 year old son with me and got to a ball game.

I live near Bend Oregon and am interested in any upcoming meets near Portland or Seattle. Ideally when the Mariners are in town.

I'm in. Anywhere in the US please. 

I just received an awesome balanced cable for my he-500s from the headphone lounge. Ted does amazing work for a very fair prices.

I have the Fiio X3 and am very happy with it. I use it as my portable/gym set-up.  I like that the unit is small and potentialy has a large memory capability. You can find the X3 for well under $200 used.    Also, I think it delivers very good sound for the price point.   Good luck with your...

I think the are a great buy at $50. I had mine for about a year before I sold for about a $100. They sound pretty good to me right out of my S3.

I just ordered my second cable from Ted last week and as always Ted was very friendly and helpful. He actually called me to go over all the different options that were available to me. I can't remember that last time I had a merchant call me to offer support. Way to go Ted!

Thats such a good CD. My wife and I listened to all the time when we were in high school. Yes I know I'm old.
