Oh, hey, look at that, they changed the description (it used to say 1920x1200). I guess I wasn't the only one. So that leads me to this: so you-all know I've been drooling over my coworker's 2560x1600 monitor, and it makes sense in my case to "settle" for 1920x1200, but how does that work with DVD's and stuff? I mean, there's that whole thing about refresh rate in televisions, and 60Hz vs 120Hz (try googling), but most LCD computer monitors don't go up much past 60 Hz. And I'm not sure they do any of that "3:2 dropdown" stuff, anyway. Anyone have any ideas/recommendations?

Loudness is usually measured relative, not absolute.

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.

You mean, like where it says right across the bottom that it's the log frequency?

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.

What, you've never heard of overtones?

Gremlins are a fickle lot.

Why don't you just hit him in the back of the head with a shovel?

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.

Why not? It is the music industry, after all.

What happened?

Daft Punk is up for best dance recording, as is Hot Chip. My girl Kylie is up for best electronic/dance album.

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.

Somehow I missed that you posted this -- thanks.

...on Twitter and a bunch of live blogs.

Not black enough...no, wait, yes it is.

Looks like barf. Me: gyro.

Yeah, gorgeous.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I presume that's directed at Hopstretch.
