Repeating my recommendation for UM1s from the original site. They're stylin' too. Stripped down professional look over shiny stuff any day.

Westone UM1s would be my choice. You can also get ER-4Ps used for under $130.

Bahaha. Look what I have created! I'm glad so many people are getting these pencils. You'll all be very happy with them, I guarantee.

I've only heard obvious differences with some music. With a lot of music, I'd be surprised if someone could reliably ABX 192kbps from lossless.

Hey emurray, where did you get that shelf that holds you LPs and such? I notice a lot of Ikea furniture in the room - might that be another piece?

UM1s, because of their vastly superior design.

The comparison is almost offensive.

That Sanford is a nice design. I might get one to see if it can hold a candle to the Rotring 600.

Nice to hear about an audiophile who uses his ears rather than his eyes and wallet to judge sound.

Once you buy music, you have the right to download it through whatever, otherwise illegal, channels you wish. For example, once you buy a CD you can go to what.cd and download a FLAC copy for personal use. Same goes for purchased downloads. That said, buy CDs. Don't buy downloads.

A note program that is significantly better than the pile of garbage Apple supplies. A basic Python compiler would be nice also. Oh, something that'd allow more customization of the interface. Basically, the things available after jailbreaking need to be available without jailbreaking.

It should also be taken into account that the Westones are much better designed and more durable.

Just picked up a Merkur HD the other day to go with the Proraso and relatively inexpensive boar brush I've had for about a month. So much better. I just ordered a bunch of cream and soap samples to see which one I might get lots of. Still looking to get some different kinds of blades to try...

I'd be suspicious of any statement as general as "turntable A has a wider soundstage than turntable B". That doesn't really make sense without *at least* talking about cartridges or something. Build quality, availability of spare parts, upgrade path and speed stability would be my main...

I'd also suggest the ER-4P in that price range. No amp required.

I'm surprised noone's mentioned General Fuzz yet.

The OP almost certainly means this: In which case the answer is indeed (8a+6)/(3a+2).

Earthling Society

I'm not sure I see what you mean. You don't need D/A conversion to rip a CD.

I'd probably have to say Stax O2s are the nicest looking headphones I know. Those or the W5000s.

She is without a doubt my least favourite musical artist. I can't imagine anyone with a worse voice than her. To be watched on mute at all times. I've even actively discouraged customers from buying her music.

- Small (iBasso T2 sized) - Tone controls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (at least three bands) - Crossfeed - LI battery with long life - push button volume control

Gin and tonics, whiskey sours, white russians.

Just buy the music wherever it's cheapest at any quality, then find it for download somewhere and download it. Find a private music torrent site that has an excellent FLAC selection, then just download the things you've already paid for. I don't understand why people look for lossless...
