Fantastic news! I like my Sony Bravia, but Panasonics were built to last. Just hope they are not as HEAVY as they were!
Simply random stuff

There's no reason for a great OLED TV to be as heavy as any plasma.
If I'm gonna be honest I prefer Plasma over OLED. Call me an old head.
Plasma still has one advantage over OLED....they have better motion handling...
Maybe that's why! Glad to know.
I thought that the 'motion handling' thing with LED and OLED TVs had been solved some time ago. Or maybe my eyes have gotten so 'slow' that I just don't notice anymore.
[Gotta finish this up. 10 minutes to game time.]

Huh? OLEDs have nearly instantaneous pixel response time. Their motion handling is excellent.
Do you ever think this way?
When I get a new release, I feel some pressure to listen to it, not for the sake of QQ, but for myself. I purchased it, I want to listen, I don't want to purchase music and not listen.
I find I have been going back to music I listened to once, just random choices, listening in a more calm mood, and enjoying the heck out of it.
Sometimes, I wish they would slow down the surround choices, like back to 10 years ago.
Better watch what you wish for I guess.
Wish for more, get too much.
Wish for less and probably get nothing.
As I write, listening to Porcupine Tree-Closure/Continuation in Atmos, very nice.

Like they say, "Be careful what you wish for." Until this morning, I didn't even know that Chicago IX and No Secrets, among others, had been released in Atmos.
Yes, yes, yes. Sometimes I randomly go back to a one-and-done album and discover all sorts of hidden gems.
What plants did you work at? I also worked the nuke circuit, thru the 80's and into the 90's.
People don't understand the manpower it takes to built a power generating unit. The were 12,000 Steamfitters alone during the day shift, and maybe half that number during the night shift.

I remember simpler times and listening to just a few albums just inside and out. Modern availability has really mirrored my OCD to hear stuff! I think it's still my own fault. It's simply become possible to go off the deep end collecting music. Now I have more Pink Floyd recordings than I'll ever even be able to get to the end of!
The one time listens...
I try to grab 24 bit and the fullest surround sound copies of anything with the idea that even if I end up only listening to something once, at least I gave it the best shot from the best seats and heard it at its fullest.
It makes me smile to visualize Ricky @cbmmm3 wearing this sticker:

The counties north of us have a Frost Advisory. We have 43 in the city. It'll be 40 here
Tonight
Mostly clear, with a low around 43. North northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable.

and 1975 with Alex Ligertwood on vocals

In response to a random thing I said in this thread a while ago, there in fact IS an SACD only marked as stereo with a multi-channel mix hiding on the disc, none other than the 1982 masterpiece La Folia by Gregorio Paniagua!

Yes indeed!
Help needed please
I bought the standalone blu ray of The pineapple thief - Dissolution so that I could sell my artbook to save space (which is seriously limited)
My first choice player is a Panasonic DMP-UB900, the new disc wasn’t recognised so I tried it in my 2nd player, a Yamaha BD-A1040 and it played perfectly
Out of curiosity I tried the blu ray from my artbook and the exact same thing happened!!!
Obviously the discs are fine and my Panasonic has never refused a disc before, is it possible that a player can just take a dislike to a specific disc?

Does anyone have any idea what these "cornheads" are used for? @GOS ? They certainly are nasty looking beasts. The model might make an interesting freight car load for my choo choos.
