We only have ~71 days left until spring, nice...

OK...... :erm: Now I would feel at least partly responsible if you ever start a killing spree. By the way, you should probably avoid listening to the album Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

You're welcome.

Here's a short explanation on why streaming sounds better than CDs. http://www.linn.co.uk/systems/ds#how-it-works/3

Yes. http://www.hdtracks.com/ http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/ http://www.linnrecords.com/ http://www.naimlabel.com/ And some artists provide FLAC downloads at their sites. Register here to get the Slip from NIN free for example... http://dl.nin.com/theslip/signup

I don't have Win 7 so I couldn't confirm the functionality...

Or Airplay to your Linn DS device. It would be nice to get the sound from Angry Birds directly from the stereo. http://news.linn.co.uk/news/2011/12/songcast-shares-it-all.php

Norwegian isn't my first language so I might have missed some of the finer points in the article. But it basically says that the climate changes doesn't lead to more storms. There's been a few lately around here so it's a popular discussion topic. But apparently there are periods with much...

Perhaps they've read your mind? I just saw that they've released a report (that I haven't read yet) about the working conditions at their suppliers, you can find it here. They found some unpleasant things and they will seek help from the Fair Labor Association to correct the problems. I hope...

Haven't they dropped the flat bottomed steering wheels here to? I think it's an option at the moment but I don't know if that's for the 2012's only.

It was an impressive effort, most of us would probably die if we tried something like that. But the water temperature must by definition have been >0 C, or she would walk on the ice. There are plenty of places where lakes freezes in the winter. And my thermometer showed -5 degrees this morning...

And 19" means more unsprung weight.

I just said that a different program might be better. I can't try it myself since I don't have a USB-DAC. I came with the suggestion since many people claim those programs I mentioned result in better sound. ;) I'm sure all programs are feeding bit perfect numbers into the USB-port. Everything...

No, but a CD player from lets say 2008 is better than a CD player from 1983. Why? It's the same 1s and 0s coming out of the CD-player. ;) And I remember one time when an upgrade of Winamp resulted in a radical drop in the CPU usage, so of course different media players have different algorithms...

But wasn't the CD's played bit-perfect back in 1983? And what was the sound like? I'm glad that there are some open minded engineers out there who knows that there's always room for improvements - or we would still be listening to bit perfect crap. ;)

Not really, both the apples and the oranges introduces distortions into the sound chain. The only difference is that one of them is more obvious.

Stereoplay has listed a few tips & tricks on how to maximize the potential of USB-dacs. The link is in German by the way.

Maybe it's time to buy some blankets and/or warm socks?

You're right of course, I'm sorry to have upset you. It's just like with speakers and head phones. All speakers sound the same because they only need to move the speaker membrane back and forth a few times/second to reproduce the right frequencies. If it's done correctly they all produce the...

Here's a couple of players that might have better sound than Foobar. I haven't tried any of them recently so I don't know. Stealth Audio Player JRiver Media Center

Yes

I'm sure the FIIO combo is very good. I think the Naim starts around $600-$700 up to $4000 depending on the choice of PSU.

That's probably a good idead. You should check out the Naim HeadLine, it's "only" a headphone amp and requires one of their power supplies. But the sound should be OK. ;) By the way, I got the family a pair of AKG K420s but they are still in the box. One plan is to connect them to my old Linn...

I like Adventure Time.

I'm visiting this site almost every day, but it's too time consuming for me to formulate something comprehensible, so I don't post very much. Anyway, I've started on a se.po, but it'll most likely not be finished during 2011.

Have you solved the problem? Otherwise, take a look at DVD Audio Extractor. I haven't tried it myself but it should work.

You're not a wuss, but you might need warmer clothes.

No, not really... I just thought you guys were getting tired of me mentioning their name in almost every single post I make here. :D

Have you tried to convert to the balanced audio connectors yet?

I've only used EAC and I think it's fine, but I would probably go with dbPoweramp if I would rip my CD collection today. The biggest problem with EAC is the amount of available settings, and what happens if you get something wrong. One maker of high end music reproduction system even supplied a...

Here's a thread with some more details on the PS3 conversion method. http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=13021

Could this work?

A bicycle (maybe with an electric motor)?

I found this article a bit interesting. It explains why the tax debate is so intense even if most Americans share the same opinion.

It depends, if you earn lots of money you probably have enough to pay the rent, buy shoes for your kids and so on. So it's probably fair that they pay a bit more. But I also understand if you're against paying taxes if you feel that you don't get anything in return.

It depends on the size of the room, but how about a pair of linn tukans? I have a pair and I'm still pretty happy with them. A review: http://www.stereophile.com/standloudspeakers/679/

This is probably a decent amplifier: Pro-Ject Amp Box, but it doesn't have a remote control. (It's also available in black.) I also have to mention the Linn Sekrit DS-I, it's a music streamer, pre amp and amplifier in one box. It's really meant to be mounted inside a wall or closet, hence the...

The watt rating says nothing really... I got tinnitus from a couple of 2x25 W car amplifiers, so 2x10 W real watts is probably OK.

I would get an amplifier with 2 channels, unless you really, really need more channels. Maybe something like the Yamaha R-S300 or Onkyo TX 8255?

I've also been looking at the Specialized Roubaix (if I ever buy me a racer.) The Scott Foil also looks interesting if it works as advertised.

Or plastic? =) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_bicycle

Who finances these things for the "companies not in the US"? I haven't studied national economics so its possible that I have missed something here, but I only see two alternatives: 1. The tax payers in the other country. 2. The end consumers.

Get a Ripnas? :) http://www.mo-co-so.com/Ripnas-Servers-s/73.htm

I meant that turbos has been around in cars since 1974, so it's a pretty mature technology that's been tested in an few million cars by now. So a new turbo engine shouldn't be any less reliable than a normally aspirated engine.

"New turbo engines"? I thought they've been around production cars for almost 40 years by now?

By the way, have you seen the interview with one of Hollywoods greatest creative talents on the Onion?

One bottle of Vodka mixed with one bottle of Tipp-Ex? I like it too.

You forgot the ";)"

Sandstone or ice = heresy if we're talking about whisky. You might just as well mix it with Fanta.

The only problem, if I understood everything correctly, was to get video from room A to room B? I'm not against HTPC's or anything, but is it really the most cost efficient solution to this problem?
