Lol at that $1,500 tube amp being used to amplify mp3's. Lol at that $1,500 powerstation that does the exact same thing as a $200 UPS... but can't continue providing power for 5-10 minutes after an outage like a $200 UPS can. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Feb 25, 2016 |

Not a music thing but my all-time favorite signal processing snake oil thing was this PCIe card with some capacitors on it that claims to reduce noise (for video cards plugged into separate sockets)

Stax stuff is incredible and owns for accurate reproduction (it's what we used for binaural listening trials at the Ford NVH lab). Expensive as gently caress and totally not worth it for basically any consumer use at all, tho.

"These cables provide me with maximum flow for all the bits because of the larger diameter so you don't get data compression or bits flipping from colliding as you would from inferior, skinny cables. At just 1000€/m they really are a bargain, considering they also have audio diamond dust woven into them. You can of course tape more crystals onto them (and I have) but they are just great out of the box."

The latest Amon Amarth album has a goddamn viking ship pop-up when you open the gatefold cover. If that's not super awesome, I don't know what is.

Maybe its Jamaica dollars or something? I want one. Spanish Manlove posted:I like that there's a dash on the end of the price so someone can't add more numbers to it and make it more expensive. The dash is usually more "yes this is the price in dollars and the decimal place isn't just too faint to see". We're getting a little too much farby back here in the booth, you want to dial it back and maybe bump the sparby 0.5? Great..

wayne curr posted:The box right behind the laptop and the little box with the tubes is this thing: The other box is a DAC probably but I can't surmise what kind. I've got an RSA headphone amp (an SR-2.) To be fair, I'm a mastering geek so that's the shallow end. Oh god, this makes me the enemy doesn't it. That being said, gently caress power plants and crystals and such. Just get a good DAC and a good amp, and if you're using speakers it's the room that matters more than anything else. Edit: also wow that arby's pedal

wayne curr posted:http://www.wooaudio.com/ Those look dope as gently caress and right out of the set of Alien. Also, got my Steinberger in and I'm loving loving it. I an wear it for years without my back even noticing. I need to swap the terrible stock pick-ups though and I'm getting a string adapter so I can use something other than the 5 different double balled strings that exist. I know the higher end models can accept both types of string and I don't know why that isn't the standard, why the hell did anyone think proprietary strings where a good idea?

The proprietary strings came about originally because of the transtrem system, which required very specific strings. Actually I think the real reason is Ned thought it was better, even though everyone really wants to just use normal strings of their choosing.

Cut the balls off though they look dumb on the tuning pegs. The color coded ball ends of d'addario strings look ridiculous to me any time they are exposed. It drives me nuts.  Can you not see it?  Goddamn it Ibanez, that needs to be covered! My OCD
