Well, on March 8th, at the age of 64, I suffered a mild stroke. I have felt that things were returning to normal for the last few weeks. Now I’m not so sure. I just reviewed an email that came to me from Agon about a mysterious substance involving something called 3-Dimensional Enhancer, the NPS 1260. It claims to cure literally all my audio problems for the low price of $599. Is this some leftover April Fools thing or am I having some sort of stroke relapse? I’m hoping that MC has some form to sage advice for this conundrum.

glupson ... I've seen the newest TVs. They have some really annoying digital artifacts that I couldn't live with. Yes, they are impressive at first, but they are like an audio system that has incredible transparency but lacks emotional musical impact. They are cartoonish. All but the very latest TVs are like that. The rear-projection TVs, although now obsolete, are more film-like in their presentations, kind of like the plasma TVs were. Think analog vs digital, or tube vs solid state. millercarbon ... When I was a little kid, my mother took me to see OZ. That was back in the very early 1940s. I will never forget that scene you described and how awed I was at the transition from black & white to Technicolor. Technicolor was new at the time, so it was quite something. Another one I was equally impressed with as a child was the original film of Snow White. The Fred Astair musicals were great in Technicolor too. The next one I'm getting is Fantasia. That should be a good one. While Technicolor isn't accurate from a reality standpoint, it sure is fun to watch. Reality becomes quite evident when one walks outside and looks at natural surroundings. Those natural surroundings don't look like Digital TVs either. Frank |
Video improvement with ECT is very much like what you describe between digital and film. Video with ECT looks a lot more like film. The best film is 70mm. The video equivalent of a direct to disc 45. I've seen Lawrence, My Fair Lady, Hamlet, and The Hateful Eight, all in glorious 70mm. Tarantino outdid himself filming The Hateful Eight in Ultra Panavision 70. None of these is anything like reality. Which is the whole point. Reality is vastly overrated, at least when it comes to art. We are after all immersed in reality 24/7/365. (Well, some of us, anyway;) |

latest TVs are like that. They ship in "store" mode. Over saturated, over noise reduced, over sharpened. This is not indicative at all of what modern TVs can do, properly setup, even relatively inexpensive ones. |
