What is?

[ThxOne]

Who said anything about “first released”?
More stuff you make up in your head, I guess. Since it’s in your head, it’s fact. Right ?

Why being so antisocial tonight? No pics of your grilling, speakers, TV. Nothing.

I said first released. You said released. It was not released on DVD. It was sold on DVD after it was invented. Stop backpedaling.

Have you viewed or read anything on the curved line arrays? There is some interesting information about the soundstage with those.

Yeah, but building lines takes a lot of work, all those holes cut perfectly, the wiring harness is work.

I'm not going through that trouble to build lines that act like point source speakers. I'd rather build some point source speakers with 4" Tang Band, or 1/4 waves with 4" Fostexs.

Lines have some pretty amazing characteristics, near field out to 30 feet. Those curved lines won't touch that. Having intensity drop off at 1/2 the rate of your typical speakers, half inverse square law.....it just grabs you, it commands attention.

It's pretty cool in the driveway, I got 4 12" Dayton dvc's in a ported box, low 30's, running off an 1800 rms QSC amp to cover the low end.

I use an Epson 1080p projector and a 120" screen where the garage door goes for movies.
We did a CFB game during trick or treat a couple years ago, good times.

You are claiming I am wrong, yet I made the statement AND provided picture proof that Terminator 2 was never released on DVD.
That makes me right.

Just like the picture you posted that shows nerves in bones proves your theory that there are no nerves in bones.

Be careful... that much backpedaling is bound to end in head trauma.

So I am right. Terminator 2 was never released on DVD.
Damn shame. The LFE would have been great.

My copy is VHS - LFE is still great.

Since the audio signal on VHS is analog the sound should have a much smoother waveform than old RobGMN's blocky, digital waveforms. I bet it sounds more natural than Rob's setup.

 

[ThxOne]

I remember my first "Home Theater". I had a Sony Trinitron TV and a Sony HF950ES Betamax. I ran an Onkyo receiver to a pair of Bose 10.2 Series 2 speakers, a Yamaha center, surrounds and subwoofer. For what it was it sure was nice to see and hear.

All sound is analog. Stick to discussing things you know about.

Which is nothing

Don't lash out at me slow boy. Once again you are speaking too quickly and making yourself look like an asssclown. Not one person claimed sound isn't analog. Not one.

Must be one of those times where you change up definitions to suit your need.

“Since the audio signal on VHS is analog the sound should have a much smoother waveform than old RobGMN's blocky, digital waveforms.”

The SOUND should have a smoother waveform than my “blocky digital waveforms”.
SOUND doesn’t have digital waveforms.

Unless maybe it’s from your internally bridged mono amp with multiple outputs?

Did you fall for hype and buy those special “digital” loudspeakers the nice man in the white van was selling at a “deep discount”?

You are FAR too literal Rob. To a fault. Idiot.

 

[RobGMN]

You are FAR too literal Rob. To a fault. Idiot.

Says the guy who uses two different definitions for the same word in the same discussion.

I am “far too literal” but I also do far too much interpreting of your words.

Contradiction. Just like having heterosexual orientation is not a choice, but having homosexual orientation IS a choice.

Just like nerves are “in” bones, but not really “in” bones.

Just like a soundtrack rendered digitally sounds better when copied to a lower-resolution medium, and played on a device that is lower resolution than the recording device.

You spew more bullshit than a used car salesman. You literally can’t keep up with your own bullshit.

 

[ThxOne]

Says the guy who uses two different definitions for the same word in the same discussion.

I only used one definition. For some reason you think I used two. You are only confusing yourself Rob.

I am “far too literal” but I also do far too much interpreting of your words.

100% True. You would not have to "interpret" anything if you learned to comprehend.

Contradiction. Just like having heterosexual orientation is not a choice, but having homosexual orientation IS a choice.

Rob... do you choose to be heterosexual?

Just like nerves are “in” bones, but not really “in” bones.

Define "in" in the context you are using it.

Just like a soundtrack rendered digitally sounds better when copied to a lower-resolution medium, and played on a device that is lower resolution than the recording device.

Creating an argument that never was? Ok, I will play along.

How can a superior recording, digital is what you suggested, sound better if played on lesser resolution gear? It would only sound as good as the lesser gear will play it no matter what the higher resolution material was.

But if your clown asss wants to say a digital waveform is more accurate than an analog waveform then you are sadly mistaken.

You spew more bullshit than a used car salesman. You literally can’t keep up with your own bullshit.

Are "Dad" jokes all you can come up with?

 

[RobGMN]

I only used one definition. For some reason you think I used two. You are only confusing yourself Rob.

So you used the definition that does not speak to sexuality and ignored the definition that speaks directly to sexuality in a discussion about sexuality.
Brilliant. Where in the discussion did you indicate this odd choice?

100% True. You would not have to "interpret" anything if you learned to comprehend.

YOU are the one stating he ignored a definition that speaks directly to sexuality when discussing sexuality. Don't ask the reader to know what is going on in your head when YOU don't even know.
Fer Chrissake, you claimed you both chose heterosexuality AND that you were born with it, AND that homosexuality is a choice, but heterosexuality is not. Make of your farking mind!

Rob... do you choose to be heterosexual?

A direct answer to your question: No. I did not.
I found myself attracted to the opposite sex well before I had any clue what sexuality even was.

Define "in" in the context you are using it.

I don't make definitions. I leave it to the language scholars and etymologists.
in - expressing the situation of something that is or appears to be enclosed or surrounded by something else.
positioned inside or within the limits of something, or contained, surrounded, or enclosed by something: There's a cup in the cabinet. There are nerves in bone. There are wires in my walls. There is a gun in my holster. There is a round in the chamber.

Creating an argument that never was? Ok, I will play along.

How can a superior recording, digital is what you suggested, sound better if played on lesser resolution gear? It would only sound as good as the lesser gear will play it no matter what the higher resolution material was.

You suggested a mass-produced VHS recording will sound better than a soundtrack from a DVD. The VHS format has audio bandwidth of roughly 100Hz-10KHz. That's assuming your playback machine has identical azimuth alignment to the duplicating machine.
The audio on a DVD is anywhere from 44.1/16 to 96/24. This puts the FR at anywhere form 20Hz to 20KHz, all the way to ~$8KHz.

So, you tell us: How does the audio of a VHS tape of a movie outperform the DVD of the same movie?
For a bonus: Tell us about the square waveform digital sound you think comes out of a speaker when listening to the audio from a DVD.

But if your clown asss wants to say a digital waveform is more accurate than an analog waveform then you are sadly mistaken.

Show us your data that indicates a digitally-master soundtrack will sound better when recorded onto an analog recording medium, be it a vinyl LP, a cassette, a VHS tape, or any tape all the up to 1/2" studio.
Explain how the dub will be better than the master.
