  1. Next level!
  2. Try them on a cookie rack if you like crisp bacon.
  3. Not to be portenteous, but otherwise it will be lost. Oral history dies with its participants, like poor Chu.
  4. Tyll, this is just a random thought, but have you ever thought of writing a piece on the Genesis of the hobby. You are the only person who could do it justice.
  5. I saw a 2016 LG OLED in Costco this week and, while I doubt it was set up with any particular care, it looked terrific. Contrast and black level were off-the-charts good and it just looked real. Same content was playing on the LED next to it, where it looked grey, lifeless and over-sharp.
  6. Wow that's stark, Tyll.
  7. Inside you can .. you can ... feel the difference.
  8. Thunderbirds was one of the first TV series I ever followed (we only got the box in South Africa in 1976, as the Apartheid government correctly feared it would corrupt the morals of the populace by opening a window to the rest of the World). I had watch it dubbed into fucking Afrikaans as "Redding Internasionaal" ("International Rescue"). Still loved it. RIP Sylvia.
  9. It was for my wife. So I guess I should have said I haven't bought myself a watch in years. That might have changed today though.
  10. Haven't bought a watch in years now. Which is odd considering I still religiously spend at least a half hour a day checking the grey dealers, forums and Chrono 24 to keep up with what's out there. Might just sell the lot to create some impetus and start from scratch again under the pretense of building a "rational collection."
  11. Happy Birthday!
  12. Bill Ryder-Jones -- West Kirby County Primary
  13. Shit. RIP Keith.
  14. Happy Birthday!
  15. Free your mind. It can work very well in the right piece.
  16. Totally agree. Can still remember the first time I heard "Semi-Charmed Life" -- was on an airplane on the in-flight entertainment channel and I listened through the whole loop just to catch it over again, something I'd never done before (or have done since).
  17. It shall be known, as the Pussy Whip.
  18. One for Grahame: http://ketogasm.com/the-bacon-experiment-interview/
  19. And a great legacy! RIP.
  20. RIP Chu Moy. I wonder how many people he got into headphones and DIY? A lot.
