  1. Happy Birthday Nate, I truly wish you're having a great one
  2. Happy Birthday Craig!
  3. This is what 3rd World is about. I'm paying about 57 euros/month for this crap, and what's worse, no company can give me higher speeds. Cable company doesn't cover my street. And I live pretty downtown the capital, not the suburbs
  4. OMG, best of lucks! Way more money for less work... That's one of my wet dreams besides winning lottery
  5. Good luck Jacob. 33% wage increase for about the same work load is a great deal. Dinny, get well soon. Or not, staying at home, if you're not feeling dying sick, is nice too. Take care mate
  6. Happy B-Day!!!!
  7. Congrats Alex, being an uncle is cool, you can spoil the kid much more than his parents
  8. The Durutti Column - LC
  9. Adapters? Nyam nyam, that sounds really good then. I suppose iMacs will be using TB on the next upgrade...
  10. We'll see Al, I wouldn't be that enthusiastic about it. Some external HDD manufacturers have recently released USB 3.0 drives but nothing about Thunderbolt. I wish you're right, it looks a better interface, but USB's universality is a factor.
  11. I made some transcoding experiments with dBPoweramp some time ago. If my memory isn't failing on me (which is quite likely lately) somehow the thing manages to fit 24bits from a lossless file into mp3. Don't ask me how, nor if the result had indeed any extra info resulting from the 24 bits source. The file was bigger than the one made previously processing to down into 16 bits. I can't recall if I tried making V0 and 320 or only 320 files. In any case I see no point at all in using a "higher information" source for the 24 bits, if you're fitting them into a lossy format which is discarding information to begin with. I could consider purchasing Hi-res lossless files from Apple if price is more or less sensible in the HDTracks range, but not at a silly high price. Not that I see much benefit to those 24 bits if they don't come with some extra sampling rate. Sound-wise 24/48 doesn't make much of a difference (and depending on the systems for worse) compared to 16/44.
  12. Why the fuck would I want 24 bit lossy files if they can't even supply me Redbook lossless ones?
  13. Happy birthday to both
  14. Very very happy birthday mate, I wish you a really great one
  15. Happy Birthday!! I wish you're having a great day
  16. John Coltrane - Ballads [24/96]
  17. x2 On first listening it's been kind of "deja senti". Very Radiohead, not very original, and can't find the "experimental" vibe here. We'll see what happens on repeated listening
  18. Happy Birthday mate
  19. Happy Birthday Steve, I wish you have a great one
  20. So, they design crossfeed and all sort of tricks, digital or analogue (as in the Phonitor) to get your headphones sounding like speakers, then this guy designs a trick to get your speakers sounding like headphones, which supposedly improves 3D imaging. Amazing
  21. Happy Birthday gentlemen
  22. Happy Birthday!!!
  23. Happy B-Day
  24. I think Shelly was referring to a Mac Pro, the big one with two xeon processors and all, not a MBP, so no docking station needed, I guess.
  25. Congrats mates!!!! finally good news Dinny, your honey badger comment made me lol. Funny thing
