Thanks for the link guys. BTW Craig, in reading your post, I came across the part where your wife measured the distance of your ears from the ground. Rather than getting into a techno babble discussion about ear specs and their impact on SACDs, I was wondering if the ear measuring thing is something I should work into my calibration process with my SPL meter. {smile}

Aside from that, I never had my wife measure my ears from the floor. Is this something that an older guy might find, shall swe say, scintillating and worhty of a test run?

BTW - Somewhere in my wanderings, I seem to remember that you may be located in Erie. If so, Jack and I have you sandwiched with a couple of other garden spots (Cleveland and Rocehster). I mention this because walking uphill both ways to school would have included "through 2 feet of snow".
