Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it! Happy day off to those that aren't working and appreciate it. Happy No-S.A.D. to all of youse, even the scrooges and grinches (and I include myself in this unlively lot) Enjoy your Chinese takeout to those that partake of that particular custom (I'm a gonna try -- haven't missed in several years, this might be the first one I miss in a long time).

Happy No-S.A.D.!

Happy birthday, Ken! (party favour noise)

(a) They're both right. Haven't you figured that out yet? There's a reason reverb plugins come with "small hall" and "large hall" settings. Bathrooms are awesome for recording vocals. Besides, the comment was in a response to Wink likening me to someone who's never heard high fidelity before.

By the way, they're in the UK, so they cycle at different times -- anyone figured out when that is yet?

I wanted to add this picture because I thought it was funny that in response to the query, "See anything you like?", he clicked the 'like' button. To wit: 'Yes.'

The only problem with Bose is that they're overpriced. Since you didn't pay for it, by all means, get it working.

Comment adjusted.

I'll have to watch that later, when I can afford to have my mind evaporated. Robots sing a Christmas carol

Okay. Yeah, that's telling. If you don't see notice them under those circumstances, then you won't see notice them.

Beautiful cat, and sounds like a charmer.

Yeah, I think most people on head-case know how to listen. Including me. I have preferences, that's all. It's not like I don't know what it sounds like -- I'm someone who has heard live music, I know what it's supposed to sound like.

It's not fatigue, it's just annoyance -- I don't want to see pixels. I don't care how nice and non-fatiguing the screen is to look at, I don't want to see pixels -- I find it distracting.

There's a double-entendre in there somewhere... Oh hey look, there's another one.

Unless a majority of your source material (because of one's taste in music) is inferior, in which case accommodations should be made. And even so, there's always compromises -- does one go for the flattest frequency response, or the least THD? I listen to a lot of "busy" music, so ...what's it called -- intermodulation distortion? ...is pretty important to me.

Well...yeah! Good luck with that.

Well, that's probably an individual thing based on blindness and glasses prescription strength. I am fairly hard of seeing, but my glasses put me right back at 20/20, I think. I'm at about 7 feet from a 42, myself, and that distance is right on the edge.

At 9 feet, I wouldn't recommend more than 46, in fact I'd probably stick with 42. Otherwise you're going to start to see pixels.
