Here's hoping that you do someday since I like your taste in music.
As far as the iPod it is genius. Pocket music went from the Walkman to carry on CD players to an iPod. Quite the progression...
Very kind of you too say so
I keep reading post after post about how great a Ipod is or any device that stores loads of music.. My question to this is just how good does those units sound?? I've never heard one and don't own one.. To me it seems kinda wack since you don't have alot of clear volume and you have to put stuff in your ears.. Tune out the world if your working out.. But don't they make your ears sore?? no matter what they are made out of they seem to me that they would irritate your ears after having them in for awhile..
It would also be a tease to have a song playing so low and if you turn it up, it distorts.. Is that true??
iPods are amazing because they allow you too carry your entire music library wherever you are. It's not [IMO] designed for being sat at home in your comfy chair, ice cold beer and a run through of Dark Side of The Moon before the game starts on TV.
How good does it actually sound? I'm currently using incredibly cheap ear phones so they are 1. uncomfortable 2. sound like ***** themselves. But as a unit, I've played it through my dads Arcam with the iPod dock, sounds very good to me. You can adjust the bit rates, rip the tracks off cd's with a variety of settings. The iPod has a simple EQ on it too.
There are two types of people posting in this thread. The audiophiles who want everything to be perfect [cool IMO] and those that want the choice and ability to carry their collection with them wherever they are, whatever they are doing [also cool].
As for distortion, the only issue I have is in the car, but I put that down too the unit I'm using to broadcast to the car.
But don't confuse ALL us Ipoddies as actually listening to our devices for casual home listening.
