What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

HD radio is a joke. Its a 32kbps stream that shares 3 stations embedded in it....that is sad. We hated it at the symphony when we did live broadcasts. We monitored a live radio and it was hilarious the quality difference. and painful.

What?

That's not true at all. High quality stuff is everywhere. You just won't pay for it. You only want free. If you want good quality start buying CDs again and ripping them as .wav's Or go to sites that sell ultra high resolution 24/96k files even 24/192k is available.

Hell Vinyl has been on the rise for the last 5 years.

God I hate that too. Everyone wants their voice to be huge and big.

Because it isn't. its a hoax. tiny data rate.

 

You disgust me. I bet your headphones are from dollar tree.

 

Also terrible quality. And terrible medium.

The fact is. You don't care. Or you would use CDs or at least hi res downloads and nice headphones at least.

And you don't want to pay for it.

Its all about ease of access, cheap or free, and to just have it on all the time. It's just background noise for you.

When was the last time you sat down and just listened to an album front to back non stop? Probably never.

People don't do that anymore, they don't care about actually listening any more and experiencing an artists vision or message. Most don't get nice headphone or amazing stereos or any of that anymore.

They just don't like silence.

So youtube and shitty earbuds are good.

Depressing.

 

Not enough people know how great it is to sit down in front of a well built HiFi system and just listen comfortably. I'm trying to get through the entire Grand Canyon Suite but keep getting interrupted when I do.

 

Now your being deliberately obtuse... But it's okay one day you'll hear music clearly. I'm not sure I can critique your cheese selection as I buy the Winco cheese too lol

 

You're talking to a sound engineer. Perspective.


I'm not an audophile but I appreciate great sound. It's why I still have an awesome sounding analog home system, vinyl, etc.

For my truck I have a 160 gig iPod, loaded with lossless or 320 kbps MP3s, hooked up my head unit.

 

Got the new magnaflow welded in today! Its so quiet I love it. Very little if any highway drone and still got some grunt on acceleration. sounds clips wont load to tw have to upload somewhere else and link it

 

YouTube?

 

Most likely. Going to mash the two clips into one vid if I do that. Its just iPhone so not top notch audio but itll work

 

What size/model?

 

Ben doesn't care.

This one right here

 

This IS a blown cv, that needs replacement, correct?

5100 + Eibach. Would drop diff help or hurt in future?

 

just swap the whole axle and reboot the old one and keep it as a spare, but yes needs to be replaced (Ive been driving on a busted one for months now) diff drop would only help but according to some people on here it doesnt do a whole lot, so just do the boot slide mod

 

That's when you need high angle CVs.

 

yea Ive got a set of high angle sdhq boots sitting in the garage but id rather swap the whole axle and just reboot the old one

 

New tires. Same as the old ones, but newer version. Toyo Open Country A/T 2. 265/75/r16. E Rated.

 

Yea no doubt. It's amazing. I love doing it. I also love sitting in quiet all time.

I like you cab. I want to do the Rammaudio stuff to mine. Hate how loud the cab is.

Also no such thing as lossless mp3s the whole premise of mp3s is data compression. Actually adds noise. Kinda crazy really.

 

I definitely need sound deadening. The rattles in the doors get to me on heavier music. I typically don't go past 20 on volume, 25 when playing YouTube or 3rd party music sharing.
