  • Hard News: That's Entertainment,

    Its an interesting discussion about compression - it is coming up more and more. I think I'm of the position that I don't own any hi-fi equipment of a high enough quality to really 'get' the difference between 'acceptable' and 'perfect'. Which is a worry, but I can live with it.

    Just wondered though, about preferring to hear it on vinyl - do you mean vinyl copies of current albums? Because surely the mastering is done, and then that master is pressed to CD and vinyl, so the sound (and therefore dynamic range) is essentially the same? I could be wrong, I'm interested to know.

    Oh and I'm more than happy with the ads - as has been said, this site is great value for money as it is right now, so its only fair that you get to pay the bills somehow.

    Nice!

    What a strange little device.

    I'll do some more homework now.

  • Hard News: Geekstuff,

    Ah cheers Russell... :)

    Should be interesting to see how that all goes then. I use Xtramsn almost exclusively for the TV3 video news, so I'll keep an eye on the two sites tomorrow.

    Oh also: pressdisplay is really great - there's something about reading a paper in the proper format, that you can't buy in your own country easily/at all.

  • Hard News: Geekstuff,

    Whats the story with Yahoo!Xtra? What with Xtra and MSN being buddies and all...?

    Sorry if I missed something fundamental!

    Also, yay for the geeky.

  • NZ TV on DVD,

    The more the better. Good shout on Pulp Sport, and I definitely need some Back of the Y action.

    God knows what else...

  • TVNZ Ondemand: Windows Media Player only,

    This would be interesting to know more about, especially in light of BBC possibly sticking with WMP too...

  • Best New Band?,

    missiung seeing mclusky in melbourne in 2002 (?) is one of my regrets

    Aww yeah... I have poster on my wall from when the D4 played ULU in London, and McLusky supported. That was a pretty energetic show!

    I'm glad I saw McLusky a few times. 'Future of the Left' is McLusky mk 2 if you will... Worth looking into. Features one of McLusky and one of Jarcrew.
