  1. Sometimes it's burnout, for both the wine and the taster.
  2. I love the "reviews" on the website, two one or two line testimonials, one from a business partner, who sells RWA equipment, and the other from another MOT. I'm sure that they are complete and unbiased.
  3. Definitely wine changes over time. However, some of the blind tests in the article was wine from the same bottle served several times during the day. Now, the wine could change during that time, but one would expect the results to consistently follow the change (i.e. (almost) everybody would agree how it changed in their ratings), but that didn't happen. Works for me except I change it as above.
  4. Congratulations! Now you have one more thing to give you direction.
  5. That sounds as appetizing as a beer float. I don't find the results of these studies to be surprising at all. The wines are not so different that one can repeated tell the subtle differences between a 90 and 95 rating. Also, there are all sorts of psychological factors, which affect a taster's impression, going on. I often find that the wine that knocked my socks off last month is only just good this month. I think it would be much worse for audio. With amplifier and sources, the differences are much more subtle than between wines (IMO). If reviewers (and all of us) actually did controlled blind listening when searching for equipment, I suspect we'd all save a lot of money. Of course that would spoil our fun, so we don't do it.
  6. We paired up last year. I thought that worked really well.
  7. Happy Birthday Billy! :prettyprincess::prettyprincess:

    Yeah, er, yum! But the sign said "Drinking Water", not "For Drinking Water".

  22. What? You're going to have to move to Texas?
  23. Happy Birthday Chris! :prettyprincess: Hopefully you took lots of measurements today.
  24. I don't see why they wouldn't work. Of course, you'd have to wear some kind of head set/band to hold the direction indicator (i.e. the sensor that tells the Realiser which way your head is turned). Normally this is attached to the top of the headphones.
  25. You mean he didn't look or act like Shrek?
