  1. 12.5 db/div implies to me that it's linear in decibels, since the divisions are linearly placed. As to whether decibels are linearly correlated to loudness is another discussion entirely, but that's the premise many make. EDIT: Nate beat me to it. EDIT #2: Maybe he can't read sideways.
  2. You mean, like where it says right across the bottom that it's the log frequency?
  3. I think you're wrong -- with a roll-off at 14-15kHz, I think most people who read this forum would be able to tell the difference even with CD's, and it would be audibly darker.
  4. What, you've never heard of overtones?
  5. Why don't you just hit him in the back of the head with a shovel?
  6. I do, too. I mean, don't get me wrong -- I'm realistic, I'm not exactly scouring the web for new DVD-A releases. But if given a choice between mostly universal and completely universal, all other things being equal, I'll choose completely universal. I do have a small collection. There's no excuse to have the transport that can handle DVD/SACD, the DAC that can handle high-rate PCM (Blu-Ray), and not implement DVD-A. If Sony won't do it, there's always an Oppo or a LG or Denon that will.
  7. Why not? It is the music industry, after all.
  8. What happened?
  9. Daft Punk is up for best dance recording, as is Hot Chip. My girl Kylie is up for best electronic/dance album.
  10. So you varnished any squirrel feces that you couldn't eradicate? Great... (J/K...I imagine you got pretty fed up with working on and smelling it.) Here, dream about this: squirrel-shooting. Not "-hunting", "-shooting". Every time you see a flying squirrel, I want you to imagine someone/me having just yelled "Pull!", and you have a skeet shooter in your hand.
  11. Somehow I missed that you posted this -- thanks.
  12. ...on Twitter and a bunch of live blogs.
  13. Looks like barf. Me: gyro.
  14. I think it was the hassle that he wanted to save, not the paper (75 x fraction of a page), although that'd be nice, too. Another solution: hire a lackey. Isn't that what you have kids for? PS I've taken to printing out most of my printouts as double-sided, double-paged, so I get 4 pages for the price of one sheet of paper. You may want to set your printer resolution to a step higher than it is now if you do the same.
  15. I do believe they're working on it. And Sony will never do a DVD-A player. And the PS3 can be bought in a configuration that will do both Blu-Ray and SACD, I believe.
  16. I like my Cardas, but I've never used it on 650's, hence I didn't post in this thread. I even have spares, I am planning on recabling a couple headphones.
  17. Not that I know of -- the best you can do is click that "show 40 posts" link at the top right. Reduces it down to 76 different print jobs.
  18. I presume that's directed at Hopstretch.
  19. It has a built-in tuner. That said, I just contacted them about cancelling my order. The resolution is not 1920x1200, as stated. I screwed up. I really thought I was getting a deal -- $250 for a 1920x1200 monitor that I could also occasionally watch DVDs and Blu-Ray disks on. Oh, well, back to window-shopping.
  20. They also appear to have an older, less-cool-looking pocket model, but I have no experience with any of them.
  21. But you don't need to jailbreak your phone to unlock it. And jailbreaking it won't get you on another network, it'll just give you access to...the...phone...oh, I see, "get you started", nevermind. Me: Amazon.com: Samsung Touch Of Color T200HD 20-inch LCD HDTV Monitor: Computers & PC Hardware
