I think its very important. I feel that if I'm not getting surround sound, then i'd better be getting lossless stereo.

I'm not the kind of audiophile that has LPs and tube amps either. I'm the kind that has floor standing horn tweeter equipped speakers, an HDMI reciever capable of DTS-HD master and Dolby TruHD, a Hsu sub and a buttkicker. Call it a new age audiophile.

I don't do flac either, but if the mp3s aren't 320, they better be VBR in the 220-256 range.

I think theres a good difference between the classic audiophile snob and the next generation snob.
I'll just say this-- everytime I go to a Hollywood Video, Blockbuster Video, Family Video, Hastings, FYE, etc I see an ever growing selection of blu-ray titles... and from the looks of it, a couple stores will be split 50/50 between dvd and blu-ray by next year.

Basically, we have a new format already, and the last thing I want is talk of another "war".
I applaud "fox widescreen" actually... I watch Hell's Kitchen, and I realize its not true HD resolution, but its true widescreen and proportional.

I'd rather have lower resolution true widescreen than pillar + letter boxing at the same time.

Also, I can't stand non-linear stretching, although 7 years ago I thought i'd be a good idea. Whats good in theory sometimes has a harsh reality.
Oops.. I tried to look for sarcasm before i posted, but I took a chance. Glad to hear it wasn't serious, but I can see that conversation happen.
why are you even on an HD site? Sorry you can't tell the difference between HD and SD.
there are people on avsforums that measure bitrates and they found that dishnetwork had a higherbitrate and noticably less compression than direct tv (screenshots included)
i just thought... this would be the perfect night to go to a good restaurant (not a sports bar) and get seated immediately. And then go see a movie and have your pick of seats!
oh, and Ben... you CAN do your own thing! update your blog more often! I stumbled across it recently... checking out pics of your plasma

Or was I not supposed to advertize this?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
