Merely what I have, some comfy headphones, and some robust headphones (those Beyers can have a thirty year life span, even with hamfisted users). I work in television production, it can involve wearing headphones a lot, and I hate crappy headphones, so I go for the better than average ones all the time. I'm not about to switch over and wear crappy headphones just because I'm listening to an ogg instead of my original CDs. There's no point in *deliberately* using crap gear, just because you think it's redundant. Every poor link in the chain makes things *worse*. I mentioned the point of listening through good aparatus to point out that I do have the gear to notice whether the ogg/MP3 can sound good. TV and recorded video isn't very good, much of it looks bad (in one way or another) on sets bigger than 34 cm screens. In a lot of cases, on the larger screen, you just get a bigger blur, not a higher resolution image. But that doesn't stop us watching on large screen sets. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
