Re: Nothing In Particular

The sound quality suffers a bit when compressing, but it’s not too noticeable, and we can get through a whole film without touching the volume Improved this quite a bit by putting more gain before it and reducing the gain after A bit limited as consumer stuff doesn't put out as much signal as pro g...

Re: Nothing In Particular

I have done some tests, and subjectively, adverts are improved, but it’s only slight. If you bought it for this I feel that you would be disappointed. Having said that, it was only £40 so might be worth a try, but it is balanced in and out, so you might need to do some converting. One handy feature ...

Re: Nothing In Particular

I’ll have to see if it makes any difference on adverts Mike. They are usually very heavily compressed, so same peak level as the programme, but much higher average. Definitely helps on modern films which seem to assume that you have speakers capable of over 100dB, and that is what you want to hear. ...

Re: Nothing In Particular

Bought a compressor limiter for the sound from the TV. Got fed up of turning the volume up to hear the dialogue, and turning it down when there’s some action so we don’t disturb the neighbours. It’s a Behringer MDX2600 and not bad for £40 off eBay, but will try to learn more and maybe get something ...

Re: General health matters.

Much better thanks Phil
Took two days, but then I just got better and better

The hospital visits felt surreal in that it was like people had come from all over the world just to make me better

Re: General health matters.

Stents came out this morning, and it was a thoroughly unpleasant experience. Hopefully the stinging will stop in a couple of days

Re: General health matters.

Thanks Dave
Had a kidney stone that was too big to break up, so they had to cut me open to get it out. X-ray beforehand showed another stone blocking my other kidney, so they had to get that out first. Must have been under for about 6 hours, but everyone was brilliant

Re: General health matters.

Feeling much better today and definitely on the mend. Yesterday I felt like I had been hit by a bus, today I feel like I have been hit by Mike Tyson, so that’s an improvement
