CD replay ??.....cmon George tell us all about it...you know you are itching to

Your TV?

Dear Munch!

Yup! A few good guesses first and then we can have a laugh!

ATB from George

Dear Geoff,

No clues yet!

Dear Winki,

No TV since 2002! So not that!

ATB From G

the room?

Bifocals?

Dear Dave,

The room is upgraded in a month's time ...

Dear Winki!

You rumbled me! Not bifocals but new lenses! New readers in heavy glass, more like bottle bottoms, and some lovely French [dense with much better refractive index, so very thin and light] glass for lovely normal range. Fraims are some bog-standard things for the readers, and a lovely light Tommy Hilfiger Titanium padless frames [five years old and still immaculate so you get what you pay for], which are so easy to wear!

Nice to be seeing well again. Last night was particularly bad, but the typos should get less now! Or not apparently!

ATB from George

Indeed the brain and the brawn are on separate Fraims. As you say it spoils the Vodka appreciation to try to combine the two!

I did try the false combination of vari-focals and it felt [for two years] like I was at the Vodka before I started!

Good evening to y'all! Amazing how well corrected eyesight helps the spirits, and strangely music and Vodka appreciation as well!

ATB from George

Hey George,

My arms have been getting shorter for a few years now and I fear that an upgrade of the same type is now overdue. I must make that appointment at the optometrist this week.

Dear Winki,

Good [even if corrected] sight is so important, and I have cause to be grateful to my optician for getting me cleared of having retinal cancer five years ago - 16:30 appointment, followed by 17:30 instant appointment at GP, and 19:30 emergency consultation at the the Royal Infirmary, so please no one complain about the NHS - so get your eyes checked!

I was under the consultant for two and a half years for an incurable disease called Central Serous Retinopathy. Caused by stress or steroid abuse, it can be controlled [by reducing the stress of course], and I am in remission. The condition remains, however, a pre-malignancy, so getting a yearly test is important.

On the other hand the last appointment I had with a dentist was in 1993. I had a tooth pulled in 2002, and declined a check-up follow up. If I have a tooth pulled every nine years till I quit this mortal coil I shall still have most left at the end! Even Bach had some left at the end!!

I hate dentists! Except one, who retired in 1993!

ATB from George

OK George, you've convinced me. I'll let you know how I get on. Besides, my girlfriend thinks I'll look hot in some stylin' glasses .

Hi George, good to hear your sight is intact. I had a detached retina once so have some empathy as to what you have been through.

You may notice your sight drops off with a few vodka's though!

Enjoy the new specs.

Regards

Don

Very glad your sorted George. Sight problems must be an awful thing to endure.

Best wishes, Julian

I have CSR and can completely understand your condition. Like you I am currently in remission, but the legacy I have is a greyness in the centre of my vision as the damage caused by the condition cannot be repaired. I have learned to scan objects as a matter of course to cope, but some things like cueing a track on an LP are difficult - which I why I am now almost 100% CD.

Congrats on your new glasses and more so on the outcome from your appointments.

Kind regards

Rob

Come on George!

I must be getting softer and softer.
Never thought about glasses!
I was thinking about the player and waited for pics.....................
Now where's that shovel

Thats amazing, George - if I understand correctly, just by putting your equipment on two separate Fraims (brains and braun) you've drastically improved your sound??!

That is fantastic and leaves me pining, as I just cannot have my system in any other way than 6 levels stacked vertically (its currently 5, but Im upgrading a component this week and the only way is up!). The reason why I cant stack any other way is the other half and her aesthetic mind (and half of her bank balance!).

Why can such re-arranging affect the sound so much?

Enjoy the music George!!!

Jon

Dear Gianluigi, and Jon,

You need to read the thread from the top! It is all a play on words about the similarity of language used to describe music replay and eyesight! I Have new glasses in two separates Fraims [frames!] for reading and normal distance! Brains being the readers and brawn being the distance spectacles!

Just a bit of fun, and also I am enjoying the music rather well! To have finally begun to catch up on the necessities, before launching this month into my first real replay upgrade since 2002 when I replaced a 180 with a 200 on my old big set! This has unfortunately put me in the position of having to delay getting the live recordings of Arraw and Klemperer in the Royal Festival Hall in 1957 of Beethoven's Third, Fourth, and Fifth Piano Concertos [on Testament CDs] for a month. That goes against the grain for me, but sometimes it goes that way!

My best wishes to you all, such nice and fun people! George
