Using a valve preamp is like a photographer using an 81a filter. It isn't more accurate, but it might be preferable for your particular project. Anyone who uses one blindly is just a mystic.
You can prefer the sound of whatever takes your fancy, but we have this concept called 'science' whereby we measure things in an attempt to be objective in our assessments rather than merely operating by opinion.
I used to have a valve amp too (a Scott), sounded lovely and warm - but had poor power output and the case became electrified - I replaced it with a solid state Class A (Musical Fidelity A1) that sounded MUCH better, and then that with a Pioneer that sounds MUCH, MUCH better.
That doesn't really surprise me - though I'm rather impressed the the US census gives a median figure rather than the near useless mean we always seem to be given in the UK.
And I'm damned grateful that OUR household income is considerably more than 26792 - coz we'd find it pretty tough going to live on that 'round here.
Why do you guys give your support to Divx? They'd fuck you over just as surely as would MS, Apple, Real and the other legitimate players. If you want freedom, you've just GOT to be using an ISO format or - better yet - an open sores one.
"that no serious group has ever used for a release"
What are you insinuating? That Divx is something other than a DVD pirate's codec of choice? You're not seriously suggesting that it's a commercial video encoding proposition are you? I do video compression professionally and NOT ONE of my clients has EVER expressed an interest in Divx.
But that's just stupid. The (linear) dynamic range of a CCD is wider than that of a reversal film, yet the S-shaped HD curve of film means that it's still a FAR better medium for many types of subjects. If you're judging digital cameras by the DETAIL that they can preserve in a scene (probably the best approximation to your MP fixation) then the EOS 1ds has already been widely shown to surpass 35mm origination for information content. If you're judging them by some other criteria, then they may well fall short. However, if you're SCANNING your film originals into a digital system AT ALL, then you're already compromising the quality you seek to preserve. If you're projecting your reversal film or photographically printing your neg, then you'll struggle to equal to equal that quality digitally.
Empirically, the EOS 1ds shows GREATER detail than even scanned 645. System MTF is VERY important,and this is where digital cams make a nonsense of multiplying lpmm figures.
My opinion is that 6MP is enough for most tasks, 12MP for exhibition quality, and 4:3 is a MUCH better AR than 35mm's 3:2.
No they don't, they swing the IR filter OUT of the way when you engage Nightshit. CCDs are inherently IR sensitive.

Blackout Week Continues

OK, here are my KWh stats from my last bill:
Electricity used (29 April - 29 July) 298 KWh 224 KWh @ 0.1001 per KWh 74 KWh @ 0.052 per KWh
cost of electricity used = 26.27 ($58.15 Canadian)
after tax & discounts = 23.84 ($52.78 Canadian)
I think the most obvious thing here is that you use EIGHT AND A HALF TIMES as much juice as me. I'm astonished at this multiple, but I don't know if you have AC or electric heating (neither of which I have). Certainly gives pause for thought, no? So your power is HALF the price of ours, but you use 8.5X as much!
That's North American life in a nutshell right there!
I commute with two of us in a 4/5 seat saloon car. I can't believe that you're PROUD that your ludicrous vehicle gets 16mpg (it's 2003 by the way, not 1977). As for not knowing anything about Americans, I grew up in the 'states and half of my family still live there - when I was a boy, it was VERY rare to drive a truck as personal transport. My dad had what would be considered today as a ludicrously large station wagon, a 1978 Pontiac Gran Safari, yet it looks positively sensible compared to the ridiculous Ford F-series and whatnot that you idiots drive these days.
You CANNOT justify a 3 tonne truck as personal wheels in any rational terms. If you WANT to drive the biggest thing on the road, I would suggest that says a lot about your character flaws.
Yeah, I do about 300 miles (480ish kms) per week, and my main car does around 32mpg. So I'm probably better off than some American who pays 1/3 as much for his petrol only to drive twice as far in a 3 tonne SUV that uses three times as much fuel per mile.

Why would you choose to believe the linked article when it was written by someone who SELLS VALVES?
You fell at the first hurdle!
What about "1T" SRAM, NGC style? Why hasn't this technology been adopted by general CPU designers?

Yeah, it's different. More distorted.

"too"
It's really not that difficult, you know.
Hammer time.
What a crappy troll.
None of that crap makes ANY sense at all.
It's idiots like you who are destroying the art of trolling.
can you possibly explain to us what a 'dipwad' is?
" if mac is so good why isnt more people using it?"
People in large groups are very stupid. Macs are bought by individuals. I don't know how better to explain it.
nope
Irish independence is a myth, and their behaviour in WW2 a total disgrace.

As long as we understand each other...

NOT ONE.
Who cares? No-one USES ia64!
Just remove it completely and see how many end users notice...
733Mhz.
The first generation with 1Mb of L3 cache and Superdrive are the better ones.
