So, I recently had the chance to 'acquire' the new White Stripes album from a certain pig-and-music related website. Upon hearing it, let me tell ya... it... is... awesome... Its got all the raw energy in Elephant and albums prior, but also some of the more quirky sounds and arrangements from...

Arcade Fire came into town yesterday, and let me tell you, it was AWESOME... It was at an outdoor venue, the weather was beautiful. The crowd was into it, the sound was amazing, and the band was just soooo full of energy. I've only gone to one other concert in my life, and this was the first...

I have a pre-built Compaq computer (running windows XP) that comes with it's own on-board internal soundcard, with front-output/input jacks along with the rear ones. The problem with it is, as convenient as it may be, the quality is not sufficient for a music class I am taking. I have a...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=465672 Heads up, there's a new "official" double-CD coming out of Elliott Smith un-released songs. Also available on 2xLP. Very excited for this release.

Amazon Description Quote: From the label: Love is a fascinating reworking of numerous classic Beatles recordings by the band's original producer, Sir George Martin, and his son Giles. Love is also the title of the highly successful Cirque du Soleil show, a co-production with Apple Corps...

So I've been listening a lot to this album again lately, and its just brilliant. I think I even like it better than You Forgot it in People. Its such a difference from their latest self-titled album, Feel Good Lost is so mellow and trippy. Does anybody know any albums or bands similar to Feel...

So I finally took delivery of my 60gig refurbished iPod from Apple.com. its my first iPod, and I have a few questions regarding the usability. I previously owned a Creative Zen Micro, and it had several features that seems as though the iPod does not have, but I may just not have found that...

I'm going to take delivery of a refurbed 60GB video iPod in a few weeks, and I'm looking for a mini-dock to hook up to my portable rig and my car. I'm located in Canada, and am looking to find the cheapest way to get a portable dock w/ line-out. Any suggestions? Thanks

Has anybody checked out the album Night Ripper by Girl Talk? It's quite amazing. He takes dozens upon dozens of songs, rips them apart and resamples them into entirely different (but decent sounding) dance songs. Anybody who is into dance mashups or the like, definitely check this out. I'll...

So I was bored tonight, and I threw this together with Photoshop and Illustrator

Anybody know where I can find Cable Turtles in Canada (local B&M stores in Vancouver preferred)? Thanks

I'll be updating this thread over the next few days, as I get the chance to use it a bit more (hopefully). Intro I ordered the M-Audio Groovelab set from Dell.ca on Friday. This package includes not only the Transit, but also a headset/mic (they're not very good, but whatever), and a 'lite'...

Edit: I also did a little writeup on my blog regarding compression in today's music, mostly for my friends but decided to put it up on Digg: http://digg.com/music/Compression_Wh...ound_like_crap . So if you're a member, please DIGG IT! From Steve Hoffman over at his forums...

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it. The anti-skate was a tad off, and not letting the needle go far enough to trigger the return mechanism As the title states, the auto-return function on my TT is not working. I can switch it off just fine manually, it just won't do it automatically. I think it...

Has anybody used these in their system? I've seen a few reviews for Vibrapods, not many for this cheapie alternative. I ordered one set with the intention of placing below my TT to reduce any stray vibrations, but I do plan on trying them out with other components to see if I can hear a...

I am thinking of getting the M-audio Groove-Lab package, which comes with the Transit SoundCard ($53 CDN). Just curious if anybody has tried the line-in quality of the device. If I get it, I might want to do some needle-drops (for things like the upcoming Stadium Arcadium LP) and such...

According to the music I listen to: http://www.last.fm/user/sonickgq/ What LPs/Vinyl would you guys recommend worth picking up that would be better than the CD (ie. cut from a different master than the CD), mainly in terms of sound quality, but also (to a lesser degree) things like...

Vinylheads? Just curious, after seeing a Toshiba CD copy of Abbey Road sell on ebay for $250USD... I also noticed while taking the picture, they got "Something" and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" reversed on the track listing on the back. Thumbnails, click for full size:

I've got the urge to recable my KSC35's for a relatively cheap mod, just wondering where I can find high quality raw headphone cable (Starquad, etc) in Canada, or an online retailer that ships cheaply to canada? Lookin at enough to do 2 or 3 recable jobs (or in case I fudge up the first...

Well, after ditching the hard plastic bulky belt-holster case that came with my ZM, and using my ZM 'naked' for the last 2 weeks or so I finally recieved my eXo2 case I bought on ebay (came to $13USD shipped to Canada) The main reason i got this one is because it protects the touchpad as...

worth a shot, hehe. hey man, you had a camoflauge backpack, wearing a pair of Sennheiser HD515 headphones. i had a pair of KSC35s. nice cans, what source did you have them hooked up to? where did you get them? im tellin ya people, we need to get small flourescent head-fi stickers on our...

somethings wrong with the wire going from the left ear to my right ear. when i picked it up yesterday and plugged it in, there was intermittent sound when i wiggled the wire, but now its absolutely dead. does TheSource (ie. radio shack canada) have headphone wire? from what i remember...

Anybody with recommendations? I don't wanna keep using the included plastic holder, or a altoids tin, because its just so much smaller without them. but i still wanna protect it. These EXO2 look pretty nice, esp coz they cover the touchpad as well: Anybody have any experience with...

my brother just recieved these in the mail he ordered from a boxing day sale. naturally, i tried them out. i only listened to them for a short while, but i was fairly impressed. with my KSC35s, the equalizer set flat, listening to Radiohead's Karma Police, the sound was fairly full...

i've been a long time PCDP user, but i finally broke down and stepped into the 21st century with a portable MP3 player last thursday. i decided on the zen micro, due to its storage capacity and the price ($180CAD compared to $225CAD for the iPod nano 2GB). i was in the middle of studying...
