White? Over here they are blue. Probably just a different flavour.

You see this in more and more places. I've given up and stopped drinking from urinals altogether.

All I know about Tom Waits is that he should release an album titled For Nobody...

I admit that I hadn't paid close attention to this thread in a while.

Also, check boxes are very difficult to make out, for example: Same for selected/highlighted text, e.g. in the message editor. Passkey addition failed for me:

Well, he's not wrong, you know. A subjective (i.e. audibility) test, as blinded as it may be, contains a variable that is hard to control – the listener. The test subject may get tired, bored or unable to concentrate in the course of the test runs, for example. In addition to that, all a...

I reckon they're great for both, that's how I use them.

As funny as the misdirection is, the dichotomy between eating bacon and being skinny is false.

I can't relate to that, as I've never encountered a speaker that imaged well but sounded bad otherwise. That may be because I haven't heard nearly as many different speakers as some of you guys.

I picked spatial performance, that's very important to me. I seek out speakers, room setups and recordings that maximise this experience for me. If I could have picked two, I would have also chosen low distortion and resonances. If I could have picked three, I would have added low compression...

Integrating a single subwoofer by ear is possible, but requires experience and patience. A couple of tricks that can be used: - Put the sub at your listening position, make it play a bass signal (like a 20-80Hz warble, e.g. from REW), then crawl around the room to look for boomy spots and...

Quite right. If the genre is audiophile prose, then interacting with gear can provide inspiration but is not a requirement. I mean, Jules Verne didn't travel 20,000 leagues under the sea, did he?

Do people running the Dirac processor on a PC or Mac also encounter the exclamation mark errors? Is this issue exclusive to people running Dirac on AVRs? Or does this problem occur across all platforms? I for one have never seen the exclamation mark measurement error, running Dirac processor on...

That's a matter of personal preference, too. I for one enjoy step response and SMPTE RP120-1994 recordings. Sine sweeps do nothing for me.
