 Things that are frustrating me right now.
One, I have a damn cold that will not go away. I want to cut some vocals for the Garda EP, dammit. :?

Two, I lost my iPod. :mad: :wall:

Corollary to Two: someone acquired themselves a whole bunch of really weird music. :lol:

Yo, that is some kind of bullshit.

Hopefully, the pig who wound up with your noisermerizer gives it a good listen before he/she wipes it and flips it on craigslist.

Or. :idea: They are too lazy to do so, and you can get it back later this week with all of yer sounds still onnit. :isay:





When they flip it on craigslist. :red:

I've heard people say that the headphone amp in iPods sucks. I thought it was a bunch of audiophile BS until I started playing tracks in the Blackberry. What a difference! So maybe now is your opportunity to obtain an alternative device for your portable listening.

When I was on the phone with V the other day she recommended me some alternatives to ze iPod. And told me a funny story about losing her Blackberry.

But yes, the headphone amp in the iPod does suck, actually quite a lot, even compared to the headphone out on my MacBook Pro there's a noticeable difference with the same 'phones and the iPod is clearly the shittier of the two. That says something pretty severe, I think. :lol: Ok, it might be the converters? But it's not good sounding compared to anything else that I have. Like, actually anything else.

I like tor's suggestion re: massive audiophile headphone amp. Are those EL34s in there? :lol:

:idea: I'll run a pair of these in stereo with a Radio Shack Y-cable into the speaker outs!

Totally practical. Lightweight, portable, and there's no chance at all of harming myself doing that. :nods:
