Snake oil??

Yesterday, I finally got around to straightening out the jumble of wires and extension cords I was using for my PC setup. I got a nice ten-receptacle power strip at Lowes to hook everything up. Before plugging everything in, I treated all of the connections with TC. Right off the bat, the sound improved immensely. I'm using a pair of Audio Engine A2+ speakers for the computer system. These little speakers can really sing. The reduction in noise from using the TC is really amazing.

I recently bought a Blu Ray DVD of the original Wizard of Oz. Two days ago, prior to watching the movie for the first time, I pasted all of my connections to the video system with TC. I’m using three of those aforementioned Lowe’s power strips for the tv system. I have lots of things (unmentionables :-)) plugged into them, so it took a while to get the job done. Holy crapola, Batman! The 73" Mitsubishi rear projection TV has never looked so good. Everything from regular TV broadcasts to Technicolor movies is much improved. Too bad this product is no longer being made. Every audiophile worth his/her salt deserves this product.

I've seen the newest TVs. They have some really annoying digital artifacts that I couldn't live with. Yes, they are impressive at first, but they are like an audio system that has incredible transparency but lacks emotional musical impact. They are cartoonish. All but the very latest TVs are like that. The rear-projection TVs, although now obsolete, are more film-like in their presentations, kind of like the plasma TVs were. Think analog vs digital, or tube vs solid state.

When I was a little kid, my mother took me to see OZ. That was back in the very early 1940s. I will never forget that scene you described and how awed I was at the transition from black & white to Technicolor. Technicolor was new at the time, so it was quite something. Another one I was equally impressed with as a child was the original film of Snow White. The Fred Astair musicals were great in Technicolor too. The next one I'm getting is Fantasia. That should be a good one. 

While Technicolor isn't accurate from a reality standpoint, it sure is fun to watch. Reality becomes quite evident when one walks outside and looks at natural surroundings. Those natural surroundings don't look like Digital TVs either.

That it is. In a very good way. :-)

 

^^^ "Shane" was a great movie. At the time of its release, I was in Junior High School and worked part-time as an usher at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles. I saw the film so many times that I knew all of the lines by heart. I still remember a lot of them even to this day.
