Fidelia

Longboy commented on 02 May 2012

"new FHX Headphone Processor add-on (US $49.99)"

WTF is this? Why would anyone want to pay fifty bucks for it? Why is it that, even on the Audiofile site, the only information available is that there is an FHX add-on available that costs fifty bucks? Is it Audiofile's intention actually to get people to buy this? Or is it merely something tossed in for laughs and so what if nobody knows what it is? It obviously gets the customer's attention. It certainly has mine

Many thanks, Bd56! I like Fidelia and, normally, I wouldn't hesitate to get an add-on that would/might improve it is something that I'd normally snap right up. But, an add-on that costs over twice as much as the basic app and no clear explanation of what it's supposed to do... I knew that it had something to do with headphones. But, what?! Well, I gotta think twice, despite the fact that, like Little Richard, I'm a "fool about my money, don't try to save" and, like you, I'm a headphone nut. Also, thanks for the word about the more-reasonably-priced alternative. That's good looking-out!

For the record, I am a happy owner of the "Extended" version of Fidelia and have been considering adding FHX to that. But, lacking an official statement WRT what, exactly, FHX is supposed to do, when added to Fidelia, I've been hesitant to go for it, though I consider myself to be a fairly-serious computer-audiophile.
As for Canz3D, I'm using a pre-release version of 10.7.4 and it's a bit too recent and too unrefined ro work well with it.

Right. I didn't even try to use it, after I saw how old it was.

BTW, does FHX work WITH Extended or INSTEAD of EXTENDED? Since I already own 1.2 Extended, I wouldn't want to pay to add on THX, only to discover that I had thereby taken off Extended. That would take the meat!

Sold! Thank you, Matthew.

Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition

This works perfectly under Lion v10.7.4. It's broken by Mountain Lion v10.8b.

Works fine under 10.7.4. Suffers serious damage under v10.8.

Works fine in Lion v10.7.4. Just barely works in Mountain Lion v10.8: extremely slow.

Meteorologist

Meteorologist still works perfectly both in Lion v10.7.4 and in Mountain Lion v10.8.

Naiocast

This is a fantastic app, when used in combo w/Nicecast. Unfortunately, it's no longer being supported or developed.

MP3 Encoder

Longboy commented on 14 Mar 2012

Personally, I've never wanted to convert anything to mp3. But, if there are people who do want to do that, WTF? Let them. They don't need to justify their actions to other people. Why is it anyone else's business? You haters sound like those trolls who whine because there are people who value giving up the bucks for a Macintosh over putting together a $500 Linux box in their basement.

Hear

Longboy reviewed on 08 Mar 2012

Works like a charm with any music app that works on a Mac, whether it's as free as iTunes and BitPerfect or as expensive as Amarra and Pure Music. My only regret is having paid the full, original price, making me wonder, If it was so expensive then, how can it be offered so cheaply, now?
