YouTube - Fnugg - how it all started... \m/ Discuss tuba music -- will edit in a few albums in a second.

The mini jack lacerated my hand, too. And I found out that I'm gay. :-( So, yeah, I've got a $300 budget for a new DAP. All I care about is music playback. My OS is Vista (unfortunately), and my main music player is foobar2k. I mostly use MP3s. I'd like to avoid touch screens. While not...

I've been burning my K701s in since I joined. My dad told me I should just listen to them already, but he just doesn't understand the importance of burn-in on sound quality. I'm just being wise with my money, I want the best bang for my buck. Do you think a little over a year is enough for...

http://www.glow-audio.com/home.html Interesting integrated tube amp with USB DAC, selling for $480. Anybody here heard one? It's a single ended class A pentode design, using EL84s driven by 6N3s. RCA or USB input, has both 1/4" headphone output and binding posts. Looks like a good deal --...

anybody? c'mon. anybody? he's probably my favorite classical guitarist. not entirely true to the original works (i mean, it ain't easy arranging a symphony for acoustic guitar), but incredibly powerful playing. anybody else a fan? anybody have any more classical guitar recommendations?

kinda confusing topic, i know. i'm talking about things like... an extreme case: a few weeks ago, i downloaded an album by Burzum. it was great black metal. then i found out that the guy had murdered a member of the band Mayhem, burned down 3 churches (one of the sites of these burned down...

anyone else ****ing in love with this cd? if you're a fan of post-rock, get this. it's not apocalyptic and depressing like Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Red Sparowes; just... beautiful. my favorite description is "****ing beautiful". this is definitely one of the best albums i've heard in a...

i haven't actually heard anything besides stuff on the radio. i love johnny cash, early eagles, and a few other musics that could be considered borderline country. i haven't looked into the genre at all. just throw a few recommendations at me, preferably varying in style. i'm pretty sure this is...

i just got this album today. it's pretty amazing. post-rock with a bit of energy, although a tad repetitive at times. the song "Comfort Me, I've Lost My Heart" give me a huge eargasm, starting halfway through. any other fans? here's some other stuff i got today: Loss Of A Child - Caught...

sgm is as quirky and awesome as ever. everything on the end records is great. if you like metal and have a taste for the exotic i suggest this band and their label to you. reminds me of stuff like mr bungle, estradasphere, and secret chiefs 3, but heavy as hell. anyone have recommendations...

me and my private (tuba) teacher are compiling a list of composers than produced some great low brass music in their lifetimes. so far i've just got the basics: Barber - All Symphonies, School For Scandal, Essays Bartok - Concerto For Orchestra, The Miraculous Mandarine Beethoven -...

hi. i've known for a while there are ways to get vinyl onto a hard disk (i'm acquainted with some nice hagerman tech products) but recently read up on numark's ttusb. does anyone think this would be a good way to archive vinyl? i'm too lazy to flip any kinda disk, but there's tons of nice vinyl...

so, i've got very long hair. i was getting some bass tizziness in the left channel, very annoying. guess a hair got in there! i have the sr225 so i figure "i don't want to send them in to grado to replace. might as well make it interesting". i tried a lot of methods. first i stuck two needles in...

happy birthday to one cool dude! that's your cake!

didn't see anything on a quick search, so looks like i get the first laugh! so yeah, a new Dream Theater album is due in June. Portnoy said it was going to be heavy and aggressive- so i'm going to guess Portnoy did a lot of writing, most of the heaviest songs come from him. i hope it's better...

well, i'm now within reach of my first vinyl setup. when i told my dad about it, he got sort of excited. you see, he sold his original Linn LP12 a long time ago, mainly because he thought that he couldn't really get any of his music on vinyl with the advent of the compact disc. now he's offering...

we're finally getting there... Porcupine Tree's new album is on the horizon! http://www.myspace.com/porcupinetree you have to listen to that sampler. it is awesome. i'm going to die before April 24th. it could use some more more lyrical stuff, but god, i love their heavy/distorted stuff in...

after a quick search, i haven't found any recent (see: not 3 years old) threads on this matter. i think i'm a pretty open minded dude. i can tolerate a certain level of "weirdness". (music like The Flaming Lips and some pretty weird ambient, books like Ulysses (that was pretty tough to tackle...

just thought i'd share a really good find... http://www.truecombatelite.net/ it's a great first person shooter (a mod to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory), has great graphics, works on pretty crappy computers (including my ubuntu machine and iBook), and is super fun! i've been playing since...

last time i had a setup with an optical cable it sounded like crap... i'm going to be connecting the optical output of either a 1212M or Juli@ to a DAC. anyone have a suggestion for a decent optical cable? i refuse to pay over $200 for interconnects, by the way- so no Aural Symphonics Optimism...

well, i just got some rap that i was suggested... and listened to the song Immortal Technique - Jedi Mind Tricks. You mother****ers are nothing, you can not harm me I'll resurrect every aborted baby and start an army Storm the planet huntin' you down, cuz I'm on a mission Split your body...

basically, im planning on buying a tomahawk after being displeased with the supermicro's battery life. i'm wondering if the tomahawk just has a smaller load to better accomodate IEMs, or if it is actually tuned to work with the drivers in most IEMs? the reason i want to know is i might want...

edit3: i hate you all for not answering this thread!

unfortunately i had to ditch my supermicro. any suggestions on something cheaper, not TOO big (works well with iPod nano), but with enough juice to drive some mid-impedence headphones? nothing DIY

Basically, I'm about to be making some important buying decisions, earbud-wise. When it comes to silicone-tipped in-ear canalphones (not IEMs, just in the ear canal) like the Sennheiser CX-300, exactly how removable are the silicone parts? I ask this because I had a pair of Phillips canalphones...
