Shhhhh Don't Tell Pix....Vizio is coming out with...A PLASMA!!!!

[Luvin Da Blues]

GOON

Now can I have a green chicklet? Its been months without one, and I'm feeling a bit ignored. Nevermind that I haven't been passing them out BECAUSE THE F*CKING GUN IS JAMMED!!!!

I'd give ya one GB but my slingshot is broken to.

[Rich-n-Texas]

What're you doing posting on the weekend GM? Wifey away?

[JohnMichael]

Sorry,

Still jammed in your direction. I can fire at strangers though.

You could try to fire one my way because I feel like we have become strangers. Was it something I said?

Okay, so I'm not geeking out with some 60" projector watching Williams Shatner in spandex, but I find my Vizio 32 LCD to be quite good.

So, besides Vizio and their dying breads, I'm really starting to get annoyed by AR's 3+ Stooges dissing on Pix and his ignorance, by starting dedicated threads... This is just retarded. Red chicklets to all.

well, GEE, thanks for your "help" but I need to explain something, I have been doing this for 40 odd years now.
I built a three stage solid state amp when I WAS 17, (using F.E.T. transistors)
Probably couldnt do it today without a kit, but I DID do it.
Put it on top of an old tube fisher fm tuner, sounded quite good.
And did this before you were a wet spot on your mamas undies.
Why do I REFUSE TO ADMIT that I am wrong? Because most of the time
I'M not.
And I am not going to lie and say that something I learned in electronics class is "wrong"
just to win the favor of a bunch on this site that really are a lot more clueless than they think?
NOPE, because I am a GROWNUP.
And an astute observer of human nature, thanks to a career in law enforcement,
started when dyslexia made it increasingly more complicated to compete in electronics.
For instance why do you think GM is always there with the smartass remark?
And always turns a thread away from the subject, to something silly as hell?
Because his knowledge of most subjects is rather , ah, "slim" to put it politely?
Why is sir talky so immature? Because hes a young man impersonating either someone he made up or a real person, maybe a relative, but if he is out of college
yet it would surprize me, if he werent out of high school it would'nt.
I get "into trouble" trying to challenge some people on this board, my bad , they dont have any gray matter to challenge, especially "groundgeek" who has a picture of his
brains as an avatar.
But I must admit that the viciousness of some attacks is rather off putting sometimes,
but again I am a grownup and rather abrasive myself sometimes, a little heat is something I AM TOO USED TO.
Did you know that a plasma burns LESS energy than a LCD? YEP!
At least that is what the clueless wooch says. AND HES' the ONLY one who says it,
its common knowledge that a plasma tv is an energy hog, sometimes burning as much as
thirty times as much energy as an LCD in a year.
But I am "stubborn" because I refuse to admit hes "right" when what he says contradicts
EVERY source you can find on the subject.
And WHEN I say plasma is "dead", well, thats silly.
But there was a photo in the paper today of Sonys new toy, an 11" OLED television,
prices are expected to drop and size to rise, it wont take three years for this form factor to become dominant.
And that should make the snobs on this board happy, they keep citing "black level"
as one of the "great" things about plasma, when the difference between LCD and plasma is slight at best, and glare from plasma negates a lot of that.
Well, they should love OLED, the black level is PERFECT.
And plasma sales are already dropping, considering how long it took a LCD panel to go from 2,000 for 15" TO 550$ for a 32" , and considering that OLED is easier to make,
not only is plasma "DEAD", LCD wont be far behind.
I can tell you from reading thousands of magazines and books and websites on the subject that progressive is better than interlaced.
One reason is that an interlaced picture loses up to half its resolution when theres movement.
But sir talky says "not so" for the simple reason that 1080i IS A HIGHER NUMBER THAN 720P!!!
If the actual, real world resolution of that 1080i picture is 650 lines you'd be lucky,
and then theres interlace artifacts.
My electronics treacher in 1975 told me that the real world rsolution of a ntsc picture
(480i) is around 240 lines, Joe Kane, television guru says pretty much the same thing, advocating 720p as a broadcast standard because its better (which ABC thought also, they broadcast in 720p).
But this ninny says that 1080i is better because 1080 is a higher number than 720,
and I am supposed to genuflect in front of this silly moron and say "I'm sorry, you're right"
???
In spite of the fact that hes talking gibberish?
He talks about his "system" which "some guys from work" cobbled up for him like its a real world standard, when from his description it cost at least 200 grand,
uses CRT projection( ONE crt projector when anybody knows that you need two because the light output is too meager)
Well, he doesnt know, apparently.
And I predicted that HDDVD was "dead" too, not a hard one to make if you know whats going on, but nothing but ridicule from THAT, especially from HD owners who were too clueless to know they were investing in a dino from day one.
And so on.
In other words, if you are waiting for me to "admit" I am wrong when the world agrees with
ME, sorry, I won rather you will admit it or not.
And I WILL KEEP ON WITH THE THANKLESS TASK OF
trying to drill some knowhow into a rather hard set of skulls.

[Groundbeef]

And WHEN I say plasma is "dead", well, thats silly.

I agree. Look at that Pix even agrees that his original arguement was "silly".

Thanks Pix!

[audio amateur]

Well, I have to say that was some pretty mint impersonation of himself?

[GMichael]

Fired one off at ya buddy. You and me strangers? Never.

Now there's the Pix I remember. Welcome back.
At the risk of saying something silly, I enjoyed your post. But after all, I don't know much about these things.

[GMichael]

What're you doing posting on the weekend GM? Wifey away?

Spent all weekend shoveling 10 tons of crushed stones around the driveway. Came in for a short break.

[Rich-n-Texas]

So you DO have a computer at home.

[GMichael]

So you DO have a computer at home.

Yup. But the wife is always using it to stay in touch with her family. She does the video phone thing for hours and hours.

[Rich-n-Texas]

I escaped his wrath this time around.

[GMichael]

I escaped his wrath this time around.

You didn't jab him with a stick as much as I did. Glad to see him back in form. He was starting to get too nice.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Think I should give him a greenie?

[GMichael]

I think we should both slip him one.

Funny that it took someone defending him, to get under his skin enough to come out of his shell.

[Rich-n-Texas]

I'm not on anyone's side. I just think all the threads and posts about certain members' lack of audio experience is unneccesary. We all started with a pair of $10 audiophile speakers and on to something better.

He does show his ugly/bi-polar side, once he's proven wrong(which happens 99% of the time), but if he has 20 members attacking him at the same time, what is he suppposed to do? Obviously he has as much free time as you guys, so he has no option but to retaliate/dig himself deeper.
Everyone on this site has obvious weakness in their audio system and knowledge. Most of us do not get Pix treatment here, because AR is not filled with ultra hi-end audiophiles. We shouldnt act like we are kings of all audio, just because we have slightly better gears than Pix with more knowledge @ AR.

Just my observation....

JRA

I'm not on any bodies side either, and I also don't think anybody here has as much history with pix, good AND bad, as I do, but the truth is, there comes a time when you just have to live and let live. It should be obvious to everyone that he's not going anywhere, and in my opinion trading insults with him makes everybody look bad. I don't think it's so much that he's wrong or right more than his personality and communication style just rubs some people the wrong way. It may seem like he's making sharp attacks at people, but I've decided in my own mind that he's just giving what he gets, no more no less. I don't let it bother me anymore but instead make light of it.

I know pix, you don't need ANYBODY to defend you, but just SHUT UP for a minute okay?

I'm constantly hearing that B&W's like a lot of current. Okay, so what exactly do I gain?

Not as much strain, more coherent imaging, a stronger amp means less chance of clipping.
But the main advantage of seperates is a seperate power supply for every amp.
This is ideal.
And we ALL know that tweeters require a lot of current...

Why is it that I have so few responses in all of my RX-V3800 threads from those who so quickly attack him? Was this the wrong answer? Why didn't his detractors come over and dispute it? It's obvious to me from this that some people like me and some can't be bothered, so why doesn't the same attitude apply to him?

Just MY observation, take it FWIW.

Good post.... Remember to floss after eating this greenie.

Ah shucks Rich, we likes ya just fine. I, for one, can't be bothered anymore responding to such arrogance and ignorance. Damn, I just did.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Hey LDB, why aren't you listing your Oppo 981 in your equipment lineups anymore?

[Luvin Da Blues]

Hey LDB, why aren't you listing your Oppo 981 in your equipment lineups anymore?

Well Rich, I don't list my TV either because I don't have a MC HT system anymore. I just wanted to list my audio equipment and since I've ripped all my CDs to my computer I don't use it as a CD player anymore. I will be getting a dedicated CD with balanced outputs one of these days, then I'll list the new one then.

Does this make any sense???

[Rich-n-Texas]

Sure! So how 'bout selling it to me then?

[Rich-n-Texas]

Good post....

Sometimes, sh!t rolls off my fingertips that I have no control over.

Remeber to floss after eating this greenie.

Nooooooooooooo......

[Luvin Da Blues]

Still use it for DVDs. Besides, shipping from Canada would offset any deal I could give you. Hell, they're only $230 CDN. As a rich texan you could sell a longhorn or two to buy one.

Yeah, that occured to me later.
