I think it was 1990, at the 1st, or 2nd floor of Eifel Tower, I saw a 3D holograph projection in the air. It was all "green and air transparent", though. |

Can you see how UNreal a head mounted set would be, as compared to a 3D life-sized image in front of you that stays in one place? Gary |

The trick with the Rizzo is that it compensates for your head movements, so you can look round the room as if you were there. Sorry, it's actually called the Oculus Rift. http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...osure-therapy/ -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Well, of course not. That's how engineering and marketing differ. It is true that AR, KLH, and other New England companies emphasized the fact that sound reproduction should be accurate, not "pleasant", and this undoubtedly had an effect on the development of American audio equipment. Although in the end, American speakers have a reputation around the world for having bloated and exaggerated bass.... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

The designer at KLH Audio (sadly, out of business) told me that, although his designs were intentionally flat (they were), the woofer had a higher Q than it "should", to please rock listeners. |

Carry Me Home ( "Carry Me Back" sound evaluation)
This is a "no points" post to attach the correct title of the recording
to the thread, in case a searcher could be curious. I am trusting that William hears better than he reads. ;-) William Sommerwerck wrote: "hank alrich" wrote in message ...

This is a simple thing: you want a bigger room. No big deal, but that's the essence of your complaint, whether or not you realize that. I have no problem with your preference. -- shut up and play your guitar * HankAlrich.Com HankandShaidriMusic.Com YouTube.Com/WalkinayMusic |

Persuasive Percussion was done back in 1959 before Light got into the 35mm magfilm thing, but it still has plenty of dynamics. I believe but am not sure that their first 35mm album was in fact the "Stereo 35/MM" disc of 1962. It was impressive indeed, but it paved the way for great pseudostereo evils... --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
