Go small or stay big?

[BITEYOASS]

IMO, fuck the Ipod! Yeah it's small, but it breaks easily, has no removable battery and so small that you could lose it. Whereas a Hi-Fi is big as fuck, can piss off the neighbors and make a hell of a loud enough sound for a party. Could be a bookshelf size or deck system, so long as the speakers are freakin huge.

i wouldn't want ta walk around with wires hangin' outta my ear, but i like bein' able to plug an mp3 player into my HD, it's an 02 still with a cassette player. although i have a 1984 and EEAS cassettes in the tour pack!

[Mr Badguy]

You can have both.

I used to use a Walkman at work and I could take three C90 cassettes with me.

Now I have a 40gb HDD and have thousands of albums at my fingertips.

It makes my job (a bit) more bearable.

I still enjoy playing my LPs on an old fashioned stereo indoors as well.

Don't you know that bigger is better;)

The ipod is useful enough for fishing trips,the gym etc.

But I have yet to hear an mp3 sound as good as wave (lossless) files.....

Quality over quantity for me ....

Invest in a Bose system for your Ipod.
You'd be amazed at the sound and the amount of sound.

However my receiver is fed, I want it deep and loud.
Love my Ipod and Bose gear. My loudest stuff is set up in the garage, so I regularly bribe my neighbors.

It's still an MP3 and no Bose or anything will improve on it...

MiniDisc and Atrac is the way to go for quality and quantity...

I love my vinyl!

[ELVIS]

As far as Vinyl, I have a restored vintage Technics SL-1700 Direct Drive Turntable with a NOS Pickering cartridge...

Sonrisa Salvaje never sounded better...

Nah, I prefer Polk, Klipsch or Yamaha speakers myself. :D

[BITEYOASS]

Not dissing all mp3s, just that damn Ipod. Now the Creative Zen would be a nice thing to hook up in the Auxillary outlet if I have to download unreleased stuff or if blank CD-Rs are no longer made.

Is there a Dolby or DTS 5.1 mix for an Ipod yet?

NIN has released both 'The Downward Spiral' & 'With Teeth' in 5.1 mixes & they just blow the stereo mixes away.

The Ipod is nice for the auto or while jogging or whatever, but you can't beat 500 watts of a nice 5.1 mix. JMO.

Exactly, exactly.

I don't even have one.

Guess I'm in the minority here...


I love my 80g video iPod!!!
