A second 54 litre glass aquarium, a germicidal fluorescent tube, air pump, clam shrimp, albino Triops cancriformis and gonochoric Triops longicaudatus.

My tape recorder that I have recently bought has six 1/4" ports for headphones on the left side, which is far too big for most headphones and speakers to plug into, which have 1/8" jacks. So I have ordered an 1/4" to 1/8" male to female adapter, which was 99 cents on eBay. Strangely enough, the front microphone and aux in ports are 1/8". The tape recorder does have a good speaker built in, but I'd rather plug in my computer speakers which are 2.1 and has a 1/8" jack.

Here is a picture of my Eiki tape recorder, which was almost 40 dollars in total! Half of that was shipping!

You must understand that I do not compress my music into little - nine tenths of the music deleted forever - MP3 files.

I do understand. I use FLAC myself, when given the choice.

[Frolic_Fun]

I stick to MP3, but I usually compress at 192-320kps. I barely notice any difference at such high bitrates compared to WAV/FLAC etc.

FLAC sounds better on my iAudio, IMO. It's subjective, of course, but more importantly, the MP3 decoder I use is not as good as one would hope.

This is going to sound weird to some here (and I wish you wouldn't make fun of this), but from what I can see you have lovely (great, attractive) hands.  I think a man's hands are what I'm attracted to first.  It all started in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest with the close-up of the Chief's hands when he tore whatever it was out of place.  Anyway, I guess this should have posted in the thread about personal useless trivia.

VBR MP3 FTW!

Why not use Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3?

Excellent! Looks like crap. Do you bite your fingernails?

Looks good.  I like old tech


I just spent almost $900 on tires

I am trying to locate a specific firing pin block spring and trigger return spring for my HK P2000SK to lighten the trigger pull from 8 pounds + down to 5.5 or so. No luck yet but I will find them.

Mainly that MP3 has wider compatibility.

I am guessing that lighter trigger pull = easier  !
