can you count on the stuff you use to play your music? i'm losing hope...
first i had an old cd player and koss porta pro headphones, which both used to belong to my father, and everything worked all right. it was some years ago. after some time, the headphones started to go berserk, with parasite noises, i didn't know why. i had them repaired, but the problem started again after a few months... so i thought maybe they were too old, bought a new pair for myself because everyone said they were best (i tried sennheiser hi-fi ones at the shop but i still prefered the koss ones) - and guess what, the same problem happened after a few months at the left side. (if you're wondering, i WAS taking care of them! i was even afraid folding them (which they are intended to be able to do), or carrying them when listening to it in car or even in my bed...). i wondered then if, maybe, it was the old cd player who made them go berserk - at the shop, they said it was a possibility. so, i bought a new cd player (i know i posted a topic about this on this mb... i took my time to made my choice but still...). first i took an expensive one, and i was deceived, it wasn't pratical at all, not ergonomic, tiny buttons, a fucking remote control, and sometimes it started at a random track, etc... i brought it back, had a refund, then bought a cheaper one, similar to the old one. it workd quite ok. then my repaired headphones finally arrived... they had changed the left side only. and now, it's the right side who gets parasite noises. and i still DO take care of them and everything, all i do is listening alone in my room! of course, no one understands at the shop... besides, the cd player makes some weird noises while playing some cds... i can't afford ¤300 hi-fi players or anything (only portable cd players i can afford), i can't listen with speakers either because i'm not alone in my house! *sigh*.....
i know computers had a lot of problems, but in fact everything a little technologic seems to go this way...
i know i already

posted several topics about that before, sorry for disturbing. i just had to write this, mostly for cathartic purpose, i'm getting mad about this.
but i'm seriously thinking of just giving up and trying to "disintoxicate" myself from music, just stop listening to it, before i get real mad... it will be hard, but it seems to be the only way to get out of this mess °_°

i have to say that i got bad ears. i always thought that i have good ones. i went to a high school i would want to go to, and there they have a really awesome studio, with really cool speakers, digital cd players and stuff. i asked the teacher to play one of my self burnt cd's. when i listened to it, i thought what the fuck ? there was so much hiss and pops o never realised before on my portable cd player and my headphones.
now i see that i don't have to buy better hardware, cause i wouldn't even notice the difference

minidisc player are even more of a bitch then cd players, they last about 5 months of continual use, and then die, and if you repair it, it will just do the same thing again, I had a friend that got his repaired like 3 times, now his warranty has run out and he doesn't even bother anymore.

quality hardware is something that seems rather difficult to find in todays product, all the very old hardware i have at my house is still functionning where all the new stuff (esp digital stuff) seems to break down in less than a year's time:(
you have to pay big bucks just to be sure it'll still be usable in 2-3 years
