  4. Duet guts. Was looking for info on its internals when I came across that particular "tweak."
  5. Duet needs more ERS paper to really shine!
  6. Just out of interest, would a similar setup work to run, say, a headamp and powered monitors off a single pre? I might be looking to do that some day.
  7. I am basically strictly a point-and-shoot happy snapper, but I did quite like this recent picture of my wife and son having a swimming lesson in a South African rock pool.
  8. Even if Luis was inadvertently measuring the core DD or DTS tracks on the Blu-ray disks, they would almost certainly be higher bit rate. Because Blu-ray has so much more storage capacity, even the lossy streams are typically encoded at the codecs' maximum bit rates of 640kbps for Dolby and 1.5Mbps for DTS. On DVDs, DD is usually choked down to 448kbps and DTS to 784kbps to save space. The maximum bit rate for TrueHD and DTS-Master Audio is 18Mbps, the same as uncompressed PCM. Short answer, the lossless formats do sound better -- in a decent system, in a decent room, at near reference levels. But I think you'll be perfectly happy with core DD and DTS in your application, Ken.
  9. ^^^ Diamond Prices: Diamond Jewelry Facts, Diamond Tools and Consumer Reports Forum is to my wife as Head-Case.org is to her husband.

  13. Very nice Ian! Today I disassembled our dryer, which has been on the fritz, and found the remains of an old washcloth wrapped around the spindle of the blower fan. Thank goodness for service manuals on the Internet. I feel like a real man!
