Channel 10 visited Catholic Regional College (CRC) Sydenham yesterday and met with Brendan Watson our new Chief Commissioner (officially started today) to see a revolution in teaching happening at the college. In 2014 Catholic Regional College Sydenham introduces a new program that sees the 100 year old Scouting program contribute to the VCE and VCAL.
It has been a long road but finally Scouting is now contributing to senior secondary qualifications in Victoria. Contributing to VCE and VCAL, the Venturer Award can now provide young people aged 14-17.5 with a real option to learn in doing while at school. So appealing is the program that 20% of the students at Catholic Regional College Sydenham have taken up the exciting new course to form the largest Venturer Unit in Australia. The modern era of Scouting is now upon us, it is time to corner new markets, think outside the square and take a 100 year old tried and true values based program to more young people so as to benefit the future of Australia.

Good simple beanie
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love this beanie! Lightweight and keeps me warm
Great Beanie
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I gave out several of these beanies as gifts during Christmas, and the universal feedback was that everyone loves them. They're soft, fuzzy, and perfect for cool weather.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is lighter weight and on the thin side. It's 10" from the top of the beanie down.
What I love most about this beanie is purely aesthetic--I love the color combination with the brown logo (1.25" x .5")
Fingers crossed I can keep it looking antique white (which is a slightly cream not quite white color) through the season!
My little logo box came sewed on upside down.
My comment is to Ditto everything Danielle H has posted (minus the logo box). Really lovely beanie, has kept my head warm out in cold temps in Salt Lake City.

Psychologist, PhD
I try to tailor therapy to the needs of the individual client, since every client has different issues and styles. I practice in a collaborative way with clients. I view the client as the expert on themselves and their issues, but I can offer expertise and skills that they do not have.
I see the client and myself as a team. Together, we test new ways of doing things, looking at issues, and experiencing the world. With children, I work closely with parents and other family members.
I offer psychological evaluations and have experience working with local schools and testing companies offering tests such as the SAT. I have a great deal of success helping individuals needing accommodations in the classroom or on standardized exams.

Show synopsis Simon Baker stars in this weekly, 60-minute drama series as Nick Fallin, a hotshot attorney working for his father Burton's (Dabney Coleman) prestigious Philadelphia law firm. Arrested for doing cocaine, Nick is sentenced to 1,500 hours of community service. Reluctantly, he signs on as a part-time child advocate for an inner-city Legal Aid Services, all the while handling his usual high-profile clients. Ever so gradually, Nick finds himself caring more about his younger, poorer charges than he does about his wealthier customers -- and in so doing, he becomes the titular "guardian" of this CBS series. Also in the cast are Alan Rosenberg as Nick's skeptical new Legal Aid supervisor Alvin Masterson, Erica Leerhsen as Amanda Bowles, and Raphael Sbarge as Jake Strata. Created by David Hollander, The Guardian was originally set to premiere on September 18, 2001, but late-breaking news events caused the network to move the series up to September 25.

Conchas (Mexican Sweet-Topped Buns)
Recipe by Karen From Colorado
Concha means shell. Prep time is also part of the rise time.
Top Review by IndiMom1976
LOVED IT!!!! I have been wanting these for years since my favorite bakery on the West coast closed some 15 years ago and use to make these. I bought one with a cup of coffee everytime I went in... sometimes several times a week. A few changes I had to make to this recipe to suit my palette: I split the butter requirement to 1/2 butter flavored crisco and 1/2 butter. I baked them on a silpat and made the buns 1/4 the recommended size so they were dinner roll size. PERFECT. And I added 1/4 cup of cocoa, 1 tsp of vanilla, and one pack of instant espresso to the topping mix 1 TBS of water. I had to lower the oven temp to 325 degrees and bake for 11 minutes in order to keep the bottoms from over baking on my silpat, and the topping from melting off or getting too crunchy from too high of heat. The topping should not be crunchy!!! Needless to say I had to throw away the first batch due to too hot an oven, but the subsequent batches were fabulous!! Took some to the neighbors since I had too many, and they devoured them ON THE PORCH! HAHAH! Super yum. Can't wait to make them again for family. TIP ALERT: THe longer they have to do the 2nd rise the better. I baked in batches and the 3,4 and 5th batch got better and better, puffier and pillowy soft. THANKS!!!!!!!!

On April 28, 2008, named Plaintiff Charles Seward filed a lawsuit
against Defendant International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM")
seeking to recover unpaid overtime compensation on behalf of all IBM
Call Center Employees who worked, but were not paid for all the time
spent booting up their computers, initializing software programs and
engaging in work related phone calls. The lawsuit charges that
IBM violated federal law by deliberately failing to keep accurate time
records and failing to pay wages earned as required by the Fair Labor
Standards Act ("FLSA�).
allege that this lawsuit applies to hundreds of Call Center Employees
working for IBM at one or more of its Call Centers located in Georgia,
Texas and other states. Plaintiff brings this action on behalf
of himself and all other current and former Call Center Employees
employed by IBM in the United States from April 28, 2005 to the
Under the FLSA, employees are entitled
to wages for all hours worked and time-and-a-half pay for each hour
over 40 hours worked in a workweek, unless they are exempt from the
Act. These laws also require employers to maintain accurate
records of hours actually worked by its employees.
When you need a great excuse to get
out of work, look no further. You find fake doctors note online also. The templates used
here are excellent and very authenticate looking. No one will ever question
them, and your day or days off are minutes away. There are many reasons why
someone may need a day from work or school. Someone may be going to job
interview, and there a few reasons why the person doesn't want to ask for the
day off. No one wants to alert their superiors at work that they are seeking
employment elsewhere. Other people may need a form from a fraud dr to get out of a non
refundable plane, bus, or train ticket. They offer great ticket deals but often
times they also offer non-refundable tickets. However with the right scam slip people have received full refunds. That note available here are only
the highest quality.
Some people also use these notes to get out of contracts such as health club
memberships. A high quality fake dr note made from a professional template, will allow
someone to get out of a costly gym membership contract. Some people may wonder
if this is legal. It is legal to make and purchase these notes as long as there
is no money to be gained from them. So if a person takes a sick day that is not
going to be paid these phoney notes are completely legal. Other people still will need
these notes for school. Perhaps a day off to recharge their batteries, many of
those students use these notes with complete peace of mind in doing so. A
student will not have to worry that will have any issues with these high quality
fake doctors note. Whether it's a day off, or someone just needs some extra
time to study for an exam or complete an assignment, that too is a perfect
reason to use the services here.
However, it should be noted that those free doctor's notes are double fake! They are cheap but not working. Many had been fired and kicked from their schools, which no one should experience. So I encourage you to buy paid premium notes online.
"I was pressured by IBM to only log onto the
telephone system at my scheduled times and not while I was performing

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
It's a distant memory, but Brandon Webb won the National League Cy Young Award in 2006. The ace of the Arizona pitching staff couldn't have saved the Diamondbacks from this season's bullpen woes (except by pitching an occasional complete game, maybe), but Webb in his prime would've made things a little rosy. Well, less thorny, anyhow. Webb was sidelined with what was at first described as pitching "shoulder stiffness" early last season. But things just kept getting worse, which eventually wound up with his having shoulder surgery. Nobody among D-Backs brass admitted to concern. But the team was headed by recently fired general manager Josh Byrnes, which may have had something to do with it. Despite the shoulder issue, Byrnes and company decided to exercise an $8.5 million option to keep Webb a Diamondback — which has to be one of the many reasons Byrnes is gone. There was talk in spring training this year that Webb could come back in June. Well, he didn't come back all season. And nobody's saying if he will ever return. Rumors abound that there's nothing really wrong with Webb anymore, that he just lacked the confidence to return, that he's a pussy. We find that hard to believe — the surgery must not have returned his arm to the gold standard of his 2006-2008 seasons. He arguably should've won the Cy Young again in '08 when he went 22-7 and had a 3.30 earned-run average. He pitched four innings in 2009, before the shoulder problem forced him to the bench. Then, poof. We've seen it so many times in baseball; pitchers are at the pinnacle of their careers, get injured, must go under the knife, and it's all over.
The Valley's a real valley, in case you never noticed, and it's surrounded by numerous, picturesque desert mountains. Most are contained within governmental recreation areas, making them easy to park near and hike up. But not Red Mountain, located on the eastern side of the Salt River Pima- Maricopa Indian Community. The eye-pleasing reddish hue and steep, weather-worn cliffs make Red Mountain (a.k.a. Mount McDowell, FireRock, and Gunsight Butte) one of the area's most beautiful crags. At 2,830 feet in elevation, it stands higher than either Camelback Mountain or Piestewa Peak. Since the early 1980s, though, the mountain has been off-limits for hikers, climbers, and photographers who want something more than a shot from the Beeline Highway. Tribal officials tell us that local law prohibits even Salt River residents from walking the summit trail, thanks to punks who descrecated some of the mountain's centuries-old petrogylphs. No permits for hiking are issued, and those caught sneaking in for an illicit adventure should expect to be prosecuted if caught. Like it or not, some things are sacred.
Hiking to the top of Brown's Peak, the tallest summit of Four Peaks, can be a challenge for people in the best conditions. Brown's Trail, the typical summit route, is about four miles round-trip and steep in places. Hands-on scrambling is required near the top of the gully close to the summit. After a wet year, like this one, the upper flanks of Four Peaks can be covered with ice and snow. And that changes things for hikers — for the better, if you like adventure. When we hiked Four Peaks with a friend in mid-April, the gully was a long, glacier-like ice chute. The only group of hikers we saw summiting that day, besides us, had used harnesses and a climbing rope to belay each other up. Somewhat unintelligently, we forged our way up the chute using sticks like half-assed ice axes. Wearing crampons, those spikes you can attach to your shoes, would have been preferable for the hike. While crossing the chute seemed to invite a potential death fall, the sketchiest moment of the hike came when hikers above us kicked down a head-size boulder. The boulder rolled down the snowfield straight for us and banged into the stick we were holding. We descended a different way, spidering over the snowless summit blocks, ending up in thigh-high snow before finding the main trail. In other words, this spring outing felt like a day in the Himalayas. We're going back the next time it snows — and we'll be taking better gear.
At 7 p.m., the gate closes off the park road leading into Pima Canyon, near the northeast tip of Phoenix's extraordinary South Mountain Park/Preserve. Cars can't get back in there — but you can. A ranger told us recently that night hikers or bikers are good to go, even after hours. (He added that if police catch you out there past 11 p.m., they may tell you to get out but won't ticket you). We can't tell you where to park for a night adventure in South Mountain — the Pointe neighborhood surrounding the park entrance is private property. However, once there, it's a beautiful, peaceful walk by moonlight — or starlight — that anyone can do. Unlike a desert single-track trail, this hike is easy at night because it begins on a mile-long asphalt road (usually filled with parked cars in the daytime) and continues with another mile or so of pleasant dirt road winding through low hills. At night, we typically stop at the benches near the National Trail trailhead before turning around. True, the place can be spooky after the sun goes down — akin to a stroll down a long, dark alley. It's probably best to take a friend or two. But if you're the type who scoffs at such risk, hiking Pima Canyon at night offers a tantalizing trade of perfect safety for an hour or two of wilderness-inspired bliss. Did we mention it's cooler at night?
We've hiked the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River and back up in a day many times, and only once did the climb out nearly do us in. On that fateful trip, somewhere between Indian Gardens and the three-mile rest stop on the Bright Angel trail, as our quads seemed ready to pull off the bone, we vowed never again to forgo our traditional Grand Canyon training hike. Our friend came up with this one: You hike to the top of Piestewa Peak via the main summit trail, but instead of going all the way back down, you set off on the four-mile Circumference Trail. That will plug you back to the lower slopes of Piestewa and the main summit trail — which you then climb to the top. Although our buddy claims the second time up is easier, because you're warmed up, we've never found that to be the case — it always seems much tougher. But adding this hike to your training regimen will allow you to enjoy the Grand Canyon ambiance instead of worrying whether you'll need a mule to drag you out.
This may be our all-time favorite hike in the Valley. If you want to see the Sonoran Desert in its entire splendor, head to Usery and rock the Pass Mountain Loop hike. Just make sure it's between February and May when our unique vegetation actually looks fertile (for once). Yes, the saguaros will be tipped with white blossoms; the ocotillo will be covered in lush leaves and orange blooms; and the barrel cacti will glow with their hot pink, orange, and yellow flowers. And don't forget the Brittle Bush, and, ahem, Blue Dick that sprout from the dirt. We say, with such a rare opportunity to see some life in our desert, make the most of it with this eight-mile loop. You'll certainly get an eyeful as you wrap around the mountain's base, slowly climbing to make a steep descent on the other side.

Woman Shoves Bloody Maxi-Pad Into Pro-Lifers Mouth
A horrifying video has emerged of a liberal who ran up to a man and shoved a bloody maxi-pad into his mouth while he engaged in a debate with others.
From Heat Street:
A woman accused of shoving "her bloody maxi-pad" into a pro-life protester's mouth near a Planned Parenthood clinic in Oregon has been arrested after she turned herself in to police. She faces charges of harassment on one count.
What is even more disgusting about this event is that it is not appearing on any mainstream media network. If this attack had been against a pro-choice protester it would be front page news on every major news network in the United States.

I mean I read a lot of retarded stuff on GLP and almost never post. But I couldn't help myself this time because this thread was pinned.
you've overpaid for nearly everything on that list. This isn't a true comparison. I can buy everything at a cheaper price and I live in Los Angeles-- which is an expensive city.
1 can Campbells Vegetable soup was listed as $0.89
We now pay $2.19 for the same can.
< Campbells at my local store was 4 for $5 >
link to ralphs.mywebgrocer.com
Fresh Haddock Fillets were $3.99lb. Now $7.99lb.
< this specific type of fish I cannot comment on but I went to an Asian market a week ago and got Salmon (which is a more expensive fish) for $2.99 a lb.
4 litres of Skim Milk was $4.59...now $7.59.
< Skim Milk... if you are paying more than $5 bucks for it you need to shop at another place. It is literally on sale for $2.50 (2 Liters) at Pavilions.. >
1 loaf of whole wheat bread was $.99...now $2.99.
< This is only the thing that seems to be accurate. However Ralphs ALWAYS have wheat bread for .99 or $1.50. If you go to Trader Joes or some other higher quality stores you'd pay around $2.99 yes >
Fresh Green Pepper was $1.99lb...now $3.99lb.
<Green Peppers are 2 for $1 right now at Sprouts, it is EVEN cheaper at Mexican markets>
Canned tomato juice was $0.99 a can...now $2.29 a can.
< I dont buy canned tomato juice but I'm pretty sure I always see them for .99 at nearly any store >
I guess what Im trying to say is.. Im not sure what you are trying to prove. If you are sincerely paying these ridiculous prices you need to stop shopping at Whole Foods or Bristol Farms (unless of course you are willing to pay those prices, but you obviously aren't because you are complaining). I hope my post has allowed you to see the REAL prices of today.
Anonymous Coward 24303055
You can't compare prices in L.A. to prices in Nova Scotia. If I drive 6 hours to Maine I'd find cheaper prices too, but I'd pay for 12 hours of driving so is it worth it?

Large static site: want to move top pages to WP while keeping the rest
I am less than a newbie, but considering WordPress. I have a fundamental question before I even decide to make the move. Reading scores of introductory tutorials has not answered it.
My organization's site has been around since 1996 and has thousands of static pages that I want to keep. What was once news is now our history.
However, I see the value of WordPress. I would like to replace our most visited pages, including the home page, with WordPress managed pages, while keeping the thousands of static sites in place, preferably at the same URLs. I am willing to leave the older pages out of the navigation bars and rely on links within the new WordPress-managed pages or search.
Could you tell me whether this is practical? Is it foolish to contemplate?
Thanks so much for helping me get started.

The PonoPlayer was on show at CES 2015, where Young also took the chance to reveal his plans for high-res audio in cars, but not everyone is convinced the high-resolution audio numbers add up - and it appears that includes people inside Pono.
The NY Post reports a source at Pono who says people at the company "don't necessarily believe it" and the push for high-res audio is purely "a business decision".
The quotes, credited to a source close to the situation, said: "It has been clear throughout that Neil Young himself is all about the hi-res. There's no doubt in his mind that it sounds better." In fact, Young has said that "Pono is the same as the iPod but it sounds like God".
Others at Pono apparently aren't convinced: "Their take is that the serious audiophile has convinced himself he has to have it. They're saying, 'We don't necessarily believe it, but nobody's going to buy it if we don't do it.'"
Naturally, this isn't the best of news for Young and Pono, who are already facing a wider public - not to mention plenty of enthusiasts - who need convincing of the merits of better than CD-quality audio. You can read our thoughts on the matter in our 'High-res audio: the science behind the numbers' article.
More after the break
The Pono Music store for high-res downloads launched last week in the US, while the PonoPlayer sold out via Kickstarter and can now be pre-ordered for delivery in February.
There was plenty of noise about high-res audio at CES, with Tidal telling What Hi-Fi? that it has plans for a high-res streaming service, and Bob Stuart, founder of Meridian Audio, and Craig Kallman, CEO Atlantic Records, talking to What Hi-Fi? about its plans for MQA and high-res audio. Sony also launched its new flagship high-res Walkman.
Are you convinced by high-res audio and Neil Young's Pono project? Let us know in the comments below.

Hi-Res music
What a surprising discussion! There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that CD quality ie 16/44.1k is significantly superior to mp3 and likewise significantly inferior to hi-res eg 24/96k and vinyl. To me there is no need for further debate on this matter. End of story!
colini, I couldn't agree more
colini, I couldn't agree more. Who are these cloth eared "executives" ?
They are probably the type of people who think better sound means booming bass and shrieking treble. They obviously have no idea about the true meaning high fidelity. Have any of them even heard of seemingly holographic 3d sound ?
I can understand
If you are listening to high res audio on a pair of Beats or a Blutooth speaker you aren't going to notice the difference. Add to that the fact that hearing range deteriorates with age and on ocasion I can see why someone wouldn't notice the difference. Unless you are planning on spending decent money on the amp/speakers/headphones you aren't going to notice much difference between high res and a very good mp3 rip.
Typical elitist nonsense. I
Typical elitist nonsense. I've done many blind tests between 320k Mp3 vs Flac, and Flac vs Hi-Res Flac, and I've yet to hear any difference from either my Q Acoustics 2050i speakers or Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones, and neither has anyone else I've ever tried a blind test with. Hi-Res music is a big fat con.
Good comment.
This marketing excercise relies on nothing more that blind subjectivity; if you believe it sounds better then bully for you.
Monty at xiph.org wrote a great essay entitled '24-192 Downloads are very silly indeed'. Given his expertise, the range of equipment at his disposal and his exhaustive testing, I will side with EMPIRICAL DATA rather that the blinkered subjectivity of the golden-eared brigade.
Yeah, that's a great article,
Yeah, that's a great article, and one that "Audiophiles" conveniently ignore when trying to justify Hi-Res music.
A Bose owner talking about cons!!?
Sorry DSK. But if you truly believe that you can evaluate different music formats/resolutions on budget floorstanding speakers, or headphones from a company with a documented history of MASSIVELY overpriced products considering their incredibly mediocre performance, and consider the results to be representative of other listeners experience with higher quality (and by no means dramtically more expensive) replay equipment, you are really kidding yourself.
It's nothing to do with being "in the elite", all industries have mainstream (very well marketed) brands, and more specialist firms.
Comparing music formats on your current equipment is like comparing JPEG images vs RAW on a sub £300 LG monitor. Run the same comparison through an EIZO factory calibrated monitor and the differences are clear!
^^^ Even more elitist nonsense ^^^
What you're basically saying, is, that 90% of consumers won't have the necessary equipment to take advantage of Hi-Res music. Once people realise this, Hi-Res will fade into obscurity.
I'm also surprised that someone like you is 'slumming it' around What Hi-Fi, considering they speak very highly of the equipment I own.
Enjoy the view from your Ivory Tower.
^^^ Even more elitist nonsense ^^^
Sorry but plucking percentage figures out of fresh air is not a valid argument. And it's nothing to do with price - you get very ordinary performance (as well as impressive performance) at ALL price levels.
For example, my PSB M4U 1 headphones (£220) are not the most expensive headphones in the world, but so much more revealing and natural/neutral compared to Bose/Sennheiser/B&W etc. Sticking them on my (aged) Galaxy S3 and going from mp3 to FLAC is VERY apparent! Even going from the S3 to my Nexus 7 (playing the same flac file) and you can hear the shift in presentation.
My main hifi system is above the general public average, but at that price level there is still junk out there!
Finally, I don't take any WHF reviews as seriously. Far too many 5 star awards for mediocre products. I won't comment as to why that is the case.....
So you're able to hear
So you're able to hear frequencies that science says you can't?
Keep kidding yourself.
Who metioned frequencies?
DSM, not once did AB ever mention frequencies. You are missing the point of their debate if you think it is all about frequencies. It's about the quality of the sound, nuances, etc. If you have never been able to hear the difference high end (not necessarily high priced) audio makes then no debate is going to change your opinion. Everybody's experience with sound differs from the next but to my ears, there is an enormous difference when it is done right.
Hi-Res only the other hand is a different beast entirely. I am very skeptical when it comes to Pono myself. High End equipment aside, unless the original recording was recorded using high-res then I do not see the point of it? NY is flogging a dead horse if he thinks that we are going to get a "much improved sound" from his old recordings just by upsampling to a higher resolution.
WHF reviews?
"Far too many 5 star awards for mediocre products. I won't comment as to why that is the case..."
Oh, please! Tell us why that is the case!
On the contrary, I have found WHF reviews and ratings to be balanced and fair; something which stands in stark contrast to those 'audiophile' sites that place their editorial alongside adverts for ludicrously expensive cables and other assorted 'fluff'.
I would expect that most hi
I would expect that most hi-fi retailers and public at large (in doing tests) will probably agree that such tests of flac v hi res flac on £400-£500 Q Acoustics 2050i speakers will not discern a difference. Ive not heard them to know how good they are I should add, but they have had good reviews. It might depend on your amplification and source as well, but I suspect your speakers are at a price where these differences are hard to ascertain - ie between flac and hi res flac. I would expect you should get a difference between mp3 v uncompressed CD quality flac. As I say it depends on your amplification and source and how is it connected? I can notice a difference in tests of mp3 v flac very obviously and between flac CD quality and flac hi-res. CD and hi-res are different in that hi frequencies and dynamic range is better. My speakers are quite a bit more expensive than yours though - £2300 PMC Twenty 23's, and Im getting to a level where the benefit of hi-res is worth it but not by a massive amount. Happy to help.
Anyone who does not think
Anyone who does not think that higher resolution does not = more detail, thus, better "sound", is not listening to Hi Res.
CD is capable of holding high
CD is capable of holding high enough res so that nobody can tell it apart from anything higher. The 96 dB potential dynamic range is way higher than vinyl for example, and the frequency range, which can be perfectly reproduced from analogue is up to 22 KHz, which is more than any human can hear.
Downsample an HD file, invert the waveform and add it to the original...the resulting file is silence...there is some info below the noise floor (way below, ie silent), and above the range of human hearing.
HD is a ploy to sell better recordings. The better recordings bit I like, but I am quite happy not to waste my money and bandwidth on hundreds of megabytes of silence.
People here saying HD is better are NOT comparing like for like masterings.
Telling the Difference.
What must be about 30 years ago now, I stood in a very well thought of Hi-Fi shop, due to have a bit of a listen, when the manager of the establishment made the following statement.
The main man behind the Rega company says that he cannot5 tell the difference between turntables and these new fangled CD players.
If true, and I believe it is, as I have heard it stated since, then it does show that not everyone can hear a difference.
I once compared a Neil Young record, played on a Nottingham Analogue front end, with a £700 cartridge and appropriate ancillaries with a £250 Arcam CD player in a correct set up and could not tell the difference.
I firmly believe a difference does exist, but it is not apparent to everyone.
People's perception of difference is very different.
Price and telling the difference
I think the managers view between CD and turntables still holds true- it depends how much you spend. In the sound quality sense alone its clear to say CD took off because you need spend much less than you would do on a comparably sounding record deck. In relation to streaming and audiophile kit utilising hi-res, I think we are getting to a stage sound wise where digital streamers are eclipsing CD technology. At the very highest end the difference is obvious and most audiophile retailers will advocate this. Again as with the comparison of CD to Vinyl the difference in good CD and newer hi-res streaming technology comes down to price, but I think the difference is very much less marked when making such comparisons on budget kit such that hi-res doesnt make sense. I dont expect the mass market to move anytime soon because most people in the UK are happy with budget non audiophile hi-fi, which is fair enough, but it means hi-res will stay a niche market for those who are able to appreciate it on their systems. I think its a shame that some of the specialist hi-fi manufacturers dont try and exploit their technology for the mass market to move people into having proper hi-fi again from all these soundbases and docking stations. I dont have any interests other than really enjoying good hi-fi.
Overkill for portable use
We have ripped all our CDs to Apple Lossless. But I have come to the conclusion that even Apple Lossless (CD quality) is overkill for portable use on the iPod Nano (also when used in the car). When I transfer music to the iPods I now use the iTunes setting to convert the ALAC files to 256 AAC on the fly. The ALAC files in iTunes are used for streaming around the house.
We do own about 40 hires discs which we enjoy (mainly hybrid SACDs and a couple of Blurays). Our upsampled CDs sound very good too.
I have come to the conclusion that hires is for a very limited market. There would be a bigger market for CD quality tracks in the iTunes store. I have only bought 1 (one!) track in the iTunes store over the years and that was because it was an iTunes only release. I will buy a CD or vinyl instead.
But to answer the question: of hires files can sound better than CDs. But only if you get expensive gear and you can listen in a quiet environment. Hires in a car is outrageous.
Weird post
Come in my living room and I will make you hear the difference on my Naim / Spendor D7 speakers. High Res music is a major improvement (not all records, it depends on the mastering quality)
If the Pono executives really cannot hear the difference, they are deaf or deserve to be fired.
Mmmm; the clue is in your nom
Mmmm; the clue is in your nom-de-plume...
If you think high res is better then it will be; if you don't then it probably won't. I was falling into the high res trap but now spend more effort on trying to find well produced and mastered music. A well mastered track on a 320 mp3 will sound better than a brick-walled high res version.
Google "loudness wars"!
This is true
This is completely true. A well mastered track is more important than resolution itself.
But High Res definitely makes the difference if the mastering is good.
I strongly recommend listening to Cassandra Wilson, new moon daughter in studio master quality 24bit /192 khz to realize what High Res means. It is impressive, because the mastering is perfect and the recording provides you with all the details. Recent Supraphon records are great too.
Exactly correct, the
Exactly correct, the mastering is the important thing !
comparison by using Linn web page
I have tried quite a few times the test provided by Linn on their web page, allowing to compare the same few notes recorded as mp3, as cd quality and as Studio-Master FLAC. I can hear some (small) difference when comparing mp3 to cd while I find no difference when comparing cd quality with Studio-Master. I am listening to it by using good quality headphones (AudioTechnica M50 and Bose QuitComfort15). I am 53 yo so I know that I cannot hear above roughly 12 KHz. My conclusion is thefore that if there is any real difference between cd quality and studio quality it is either confined in the extreme high-frequency region or it can be appreciated only with headphones much more expensive than the ones I am using. Since ATH-M50 is considered a very good headphone for monitoring music I am quite skeptical about the possibility that something real exists and cannot be appreciated at all through it.
Quiet Comfort 15
I have the QC 15's and have bought Grado SR225 headphone which give good higher frequencies. For headphones I think the hi-resolution benefit you get against playing an un compressed file from an ipod into something like the QC15's is largely offset against the benefits of injecting the sound into your ear where you hear everything, that you might otherwise miss on audiophile hifi unless listening loudly. My preference is detail and realism/dynamic range above anything else and I think headphones give you that. I think for enjoyment its not about having hi-fi or headphones/players that give absolutely realistic music, its about exploiting the best virtues of the essential ingredients of good hi-fi that meet this end. I agree you do get more hi frequency through hi-res but you also get slightly better dynamic range and realism in my comparisons of similar music. I have PMC 23's and Cyrus gear.
95% won't have heard top CD sound yet!
I've just bought what I thought will be my last CD player (Cyrus CD XT Signature transport upgrading from a CD 8 SE2) into an existing all Cyrus system and Spendor speakers. And I could not believe how amazing it sounded out of the same speakers I had got used to, utterly stunning wide soundstage, detail, power and energy to the music. Grinning ear to ear and totally fell in love with CD in the year 2015, more than my vinyl and streaming sources which were good but not like this.
The point being that everyone is making strong decisions and opinions having probably not heard what standard res on CD is capable of yet...if you're able to invest in a cutting edge CD system I'm convinced you'll be happy to give hi res the 5+ years or more it needs to come of age like CD technology has now done. All be it too late perhaps!
I have a CDT and Stream X2, and the stream X2 is better against the CD T with my all Cyrus and PMC 23 Set up (pe qx dac, x power and 2 PSX-R's). It gives better clarity and soundtage. Have you had any experience of comparing the CD XT Signature with any of the cyrus streamers?
Mastering quality...?
I think a lot of these arguments miss one significant point; the recording and mastering quality of the music in the first place though some commenters above have got it.
Well recorded and masterd music sounds great on most of the current formats including 256 kbps VBR AAC.
THIS is the nub of the question.
Your ear will NEVER hear what it is incapable of hearing.

Spot on Luke it's all about the mastering
Totally agree. Once the sound
Totally agree. Once the sound "engineers" (I'm using quotes deliberately) have mangled the music to squash all the dynamics, boost the bass and treble to satisfy consumers using poor headphones, there's no point in bothering with high def audio.
If the studio used 24 bit mastering to allow for the effective loss of bit depth during equalization, normalisation etc, then properly encoded it to CD depth and rate at the very last stage, the quality should be prefect to the human ear.
