If I use 3/8″ x 1/2″ compression fittings I can fit 5/16″ ID, 7/16″ OD (8mm ID, 11mm OD) Tygon tubing and non-fray braided sleeving in them. It creates a clean look, and I can tighten the caps without twisting the tubing. Continue reading
Room treatment and equalizing
A home cinema is very rarely playing at reference volume. Reference volume is what they use in the Cinema, and is very loud. If your volume is lower than what the mixer made at reference volume (his volume level in the mixing room) then it sounds different. This is because human hearing is not entirely logharithmic. This means that if you play lower than mixing volume, the bass will sound lower. In the old days they tried to compensate for this with a loudness button that would boost the bass. But that would be a fixed amount, and not correct at every volume level.

High PPI testing
Laptops, CRT, certain LCD desktop monitors and smartphones are capable of high PPI. This page tests this by displaying images at a smaller than their native size. That means if you open this page on a high PPI device next to a normal 96 PPI one, there will be a difference of sharpness and detail. You can try it out on “normal” monitors by using the page zoom in your browser. Zoom in to 200% and you should clearly see the diffierence in the images. The logo of my site is also higher resolution than displayed.
