A: Hats (of any sort) annoy my head so I’d say hoodie, but I don’t wear the hood because I’m a teenager and the moment I put the hood up everyone assumes that I’m either a drug addict, knife murderer or a hooligan.
A: Headphones because they produce a better sound. If you had the best hifi in the world with all of the best components the speakers will be the weakest part of it regardless of how good they are, headphones can produce a better sound apparently. I don’t know why but that’s what I’ve been told.
Q: Do you (not Evo specifically, but anyone reading) have a hifi system or do you just listen on anything?
Q: Speaking of hifi (looked at the prev 2 posts):
Lossy (mp3, aac, etc) or lossless (flac, alac, etc) music? (I only started ripping my CDs to flac abput a year ago after I watched the Distortion Of Sound documentary)
Me too (SW is my fav film saga ever) however, I know it WILL because Disney are making it. That means that it will be a happy ending, people will randomly break into song and any main character that dies will stay dead for the best part of 30 secs.
But from what I’ve seen from the trailer I don’t like it, the new storm troopers look like they have one of those mustaches that join your side burns, the new lightsaber thing is stupid and the rest just looks like a video game trailer. I’m just praying they got John Williams to compose another EPIC soundtrack.
A: I just have it on max quality, though I’m not to bothered about my MP3 quality as I hardly ever listen to my phone, I’ve got a decent Hifi setup in my room.
In case anyone is looking to get a decent hifi system for not too much then I recommend mine (I’d say it classifies at around ‘amateur grade’ but it does a brilliant job none the less). It works best with acoustic music but is great with other sorts.
Amplifier: Cambridge Audio Topaz AM10 (the AM 10 is a fairly affordable one considering that it has high end components inside- don’t go for anything below the AM10 from the Topaz range). I don’t have a pre amp.
CD player: Cambridge Audio Topaz CD10 (goes with the amp and has high end parts for a reasonable amount of money- it has a built in DAC)
Headphones: Sennheiser HD598 (The best h-phones I’ve ever owned)
Speakers: Mordaunt Short MS 914. (As far as I know these have been discontinued for a while. I also think that brand new they cost around £300, but I got them for a right bargain from a guy on Ebay, he’d bought them but only used them a couple of times and didn’t want them so he sold them for £80).
I got all of my components on discounts so I paid probably 2/3 of the full price.
I paid:
Amp: £150
CD player: £150
H-phones: £125
Speakers: £80
Total: £505 (+ ~£5 for a wire to connect the amp and CD player)
Current prices (Amazon UK):
Amp: £170
CD player: £170
H-phones: £160
Speakers: £80-£130 (Ebay)
Total: £580-£630 (+ ~£5 for the wire)
NOTE: With this exact setup the equalizer is best set to +4 dB
Also in case somebody is looking for a good phone equalizer setup then try this (Samsung only as far as I know).
I want to see them do a lap of the Nurburgring each when they go to the Rock am Ring festival. And since they’re promoting Mercedes it’s be funny to see them do it in an SLS black or AMG GT lol.
Also, I liked the quote of the day.
A: I don’t mind it as long as they use it for effect (e.g. vocal layering or something) or if they’re losing their voice at that moment in time otherwise I would rather they didn’t.
Q: What would your battle cry be?
Just to annoy amitrish I’m going to answer my own question
Oh wah ah ah ah! - Disturbed: Down with the sickness
A: I guess if I am having fun with my friends, I may be flying high by the end of a bottle (all to myself) otherwise I may take a bit more (which is why drinking is an expensive act for me now.)
I stick to my place and avoid doing stuff, but once I made a group of people believe that I was older by 20years and I looked young for no reason. My photographs were taken and sent using whatsapp etc, and when a friend of mine received that, he joined in and supported me. It was funny how everyone believed the lie. If you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
Q: How do you feel about reverse centaur (lower body of human, and horse torso)?
[OT: @the_termin8r1 Don’t start something that you won’t be able to continue.

Mercedes sponsored the China Tour so I guess they had to do an event of some sort lol. With these guys, even a kart race would be lots of fun lol. And yes, the quotes Pooch choses are great almost every night!
A: I relate them with Hercules for some reason. Other than that, they just seem kind of spooky to me.
A: I don’t know. The fact that they have 2 rib cages is intriguing.
edit: Answering at the same time has its own problem. @samuel_the_leader I saw that pic and was tempted to post it here, but then you did it anyways.
A2: Let that be under the covers in the shadows of the dark.
Q: If you could pass away with a crime, what would you do?
A: Steal a McLaren F1, one in good kick is worth around £14 million. Though I wouldn’t sell it. If I were to steal a car to sell I’d steal a Ferrari 250 GTO, they’re worth around £25 million.
Q: Most expensive gift and the cheapest gift somebody has given you?
A:
Cheapest gift: My rabbit Snoopy was a gift my ex got for free. She was the best gift ever.
Expensive gift: 500 euro sunglasses from a guy… It was quite awkward.
Q: If you could be any age for the rest of your life, what age would you be and why?
