So Dad just got home with my old set of Jensen JHH-110's. He told me the other day after I bought that set of Senn's o
n eBay that he was taking them to a guy at his work to fix them. Personally I didn't think the guy could do it. But he did. They work. But the Senn's are still on the way from San Fran and should arrive in a few days. These Jensen's will be used for a set of backups. I've been looking to get a better set of headphones for a while now as these Jensen's are not really the greatest. I mean there fine for the listening that I do but in the next little while I hope to get a second SATA drive for my computer here and drop all my music on to it. Why get another HD just for Content? One word: Lossless. See when you rip music from a CD, you are actually taking away part the file away to make the file the size of an MP3, which degrades the quality of the audio. This is called Lossy audio Most people don't notice it (for that matter most people could care less) but for those who do its' a major pain the but (think nails on a chalkboard.) (read: Audiophiles) If you want the files to sound better, you convert the files to something called Lossless. What this file type does is doesn't remove any data from the file to make it smaller. It sounds a lot better. However there one big down sides. What makes mp3 the most used audio format used in the world? Size. Mp3 files are tiny. When you have a lossless file the file is HUGE. Compared the 3-5 MB for a regular mp3 file a Losless file is huge. It can get into the 60-80 MB range if your not careful. That's a problem when you have a large music collection. That's why all the drive space. That and uncompressed video files. But that's another post. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to getting my new Senn's in the next few weeks.
