Ahh ! Alles clar. Thanks.

I have a few headphones including Senn HD600s but would probably be using mainly Senn PX200s as they are what I travel with. I guess I am willing to spend around £100. BTW wasn't the link you posted a list of DACs rather than USB sound cards ?

Hi I have an old Laptop with USB 1.1 and want a USB soundcard that will run under Linux (probably Ubuntu). In the main I will be using this card with my Windows XP work laptop for listening to music on or training materials on headphones but occasionally will want to use it with my older...

Rory was fantastic, must have seen him live about ten times in the 80s and early 90s. never heard a duff album by him though I don't have them all.

What about Malcom Arnold ?

It was the Stones for all of the 70s and the 80s and now it has to be U2. Personally I can take them or leave them but no one else has the stadium filling power combined with longevity and talent that's recognised world wide. There are definately more arty bands and you can say that some band...

Buy it its fantastic. The second CD is like a Kate Bush / Pink Floyd / Trance crossover album. Truly outstanding.

Thanks. I will mainly be using them for listening to when on a train or plane or in a hotel room. I therefor don't need the jogging abilty etc but have concluded that whilstr lying down a headband on the back of the neck is a bad idea so have ordered the PX200s.

Hi Has anyone tried the PMX200s yet ? I am looking for some small closed back phones for travelling with my iPod and am kinda unsure which to get. Regards Pat

Thanks guys.

People really belive that they can detect jitter induced by optical cables ! The speed of light in an optical cable is so fast that it would be impossible for the human ear to detect any slight variation. The transmitter on the other hand could induce jitter. This is a digital signal stream...

Hi I have a PC with an origional Soundblaster Audigy in it. I was thinking adding an E-MU 0404 for music playback and leaveing the Audigy in for games. Would it be possible to setup XP so that Cubase and a CD /MP3 player app run through the 0404 and everything else runs through the Audigy. I...

The Elgar Cello Concerto and of course there is only one version worth having: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...820805-5160666 Also Pablo Casal Bach Cello Suites: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...820805-5160666 Both are very good value for money too

I know I know, its just the disc space involved is huge ! I just bought a 250 GB iomega drive today and using FLAC would probably fill over half of it before I got to MP3s ... I'll think about it though as your right I don't want to do this twice !

Lossless would be nice but I dont have the disc space really. Lets see 500*700Mb /2 for FLAC = 175 GB at the moment ..... I still prefer the real CDs for home listening anyway. Thisis just for portable instead of a MiniDisc plaeyer or PCDP. I just found HydrogenAudio and there seems to...

So I finally got an iPod and have just bought a nice 250G hard drive and am about to start ripping my entire CD collection. I don't want to do this again in the near future so I want to get it right. I am using EAC to RIP to WAV and then RazorLame to convert to MP3. I plan on using alt-preset...

And I've actually heard it allready. On "This Morning" the BBC Radio 4 news program they got someone to perform it. Not the most amazing thing Bacj ever wrote but hey its Bach non the less and its still better than 99% of other people stuff.

OK The first three volumes turned up this weekend. I haven't had chance to listen to all of them yet (it's six CDs and a load of other stuff arrived too). Well so far all I can say is run don't walk to the nearest CD emporium and purchase these. The sound is luxurious, you could just sink into...

The John Eliot Gardiner cycle isnt being released one every Sunday. They hope to release one more this year in the autumn (thats ony 4 this year) Then if they get enough monet to continue some more will come out next year. When they have finished there should be one CD for every Sunday (there...
