    Yep, LSD is back and judging by these releases still fantastic. Got their digital only releases too :) love LSD :wub:

    Uhh will be looking into that.. and now I remember reading about that Dub Tress album was due, but didn't realize it meant a resurrection of LSD as well... great stuff! :wub:

    Congratulations to all the artists and labels getting in the polls, and to the "winners" of course ;)

     

    and regarding the listing, I would mean that this is is the most logical way.... (and how it is usually done) and it wouldn't make any sense at all to have 26 releases in a top 10 (as it would be for downtempo) ;)

    Do you know a good online store to buy these?

     

    You will have to find a local place to get them done as they make a mold of you ears since they have to fit you, as anatomically fit your ear canals, otherwise they will not work. If you have a local music store or something they might be able to sent you in the right direction, or here we have hearing specialist (also selling hearing aids and so on) where they also make and sell these costume-fit earplugs. So I suggest you do some snooping around to see what your options are and what is the best deal for you.

    For on the go earplugs I think they are perfectly fine, they will protect you. You will however not get all frequencies reduced linearly, meaning that some frequencies will be more reduced that others, making it harder to mix, e.g it could be harder to hear the mids compared to bass... The costume earplugs usually come with a "linear" filter that will "flatten out" the differences in reduction between different frequencies. Although this is not perfect of course ;)

     

    here is an article about some different options...

    I also have tinnitus for 5 years or more from loud music with headphones, at concerts, parties etc. Mine actually got triggered by a concert at a theater play... go figure :/ so yes, everybody listening to loud music and haven't gotten tinnitus yet, be aware, since nobody is immune, and everybody can get it, sadly!

     

    To begin with I got very worried, and it affected my ability to read and concentrate (as it was invading my concussion thoughts), now I got used to it... I am also less intolerant to noise now, compared to the first 6 months, they were bad! I miss complete silence though. And I need earplugs when I go out, I use it at bars as well even without music as people shouting/talking loud also strains my ears... I feel that helps a lot, otherwise I can easily get uncomfortable and wanting to leave, which is not nice if you are out having a "good" time with friends... at least it will have less impact on your social life (not leaving) :P

     

    and I DJ less now, as it is difficult both to "feel the mix" and keep volumes at acceptable volumes, but I think quality earplugs is the way to (well probably a good idea in any case, DJ'ing or not)
