Listening to music, trying to help a couple of friends butcher an eight bit castlevania track into a rap song.

was that the thing you posted on my ask away thread? I normally have an affinity with chiptunes, but I'm really not fond of Snoop.  :laugh:

Listening to music and posting until its time to pick my daughter up from Guides.

We stock about seventy printers in all configurations. Each one is p-n-p in Vista.

We only have one older style HP all-in-one POS printer/fax/scanner Business oriented tool that has to be "installed."
They are on clearance for eighty bucks (a four hundred dollar printer). They will be gone soon.

the printer can weight...i am adjusting the counterbalance on the tone arm of the ion usb turntable. if i can figure out how i will post an mp3 download so DD can evaluate it.

i went to the storage box with my parents and we brought home some of my old LPs!
die fledermaus and the cmas album that is the whole reason i bought the turntable - o bambino by the harry simeone chorale. it is the one my mother played on thanksgiving morning to wake us all up - for as far back as i can remember she played the hallelujah chorus as she was stuffing the turkey. it would wake us up and we would come help with the rest of the food. she never played cmas music before thanksgiving day.

it is the same album - i bought her a new one and took the old one so she wouldn't throw it away.
once i get the system up i will test using another album but that one is going to be next.

listening to house noises that make it sound like someone is in here.

What is DD? Are you talking about me (ME???!?!?!?) evaluating your vinyl ripping process?
That makes no sense! (I hope I have misunderstood.)

If that is what you are asking, it would be like buying a book and having someone else read it for you and having them tell you what to think of it.
While their input might make for inspiring conversation (edit -  I doubt that there is anything like conversionation in normal use. durrrr....), having both read the same book, what they have "ripped" from the book will actually have little bearing upon what you are able to "rip"  from the book.

The only way to asses a musical reproduction process with any validity is to sit quietly, with no interruption, and listen in the way you feel most open, receptive and comfortable. Listen carefully.
Since no two people use the same ears or cerebral patterns, it is only you and your set of resources that can determine whether or not the relative quality of a music reproduction process adequately meets your expectation and degree of compromise tolerance.
No one can do that for you. If you try to take a shortcut, now, it will be work wasted, which will need to be repeated in the future.
