Yeah, now might be a good time to see J.P. Of course, if it's scary like in a horror film, he could be the skeptical mental health professional that the panda commander comes to kill after he laughs off our sessions with him.

J.P will, of course, be wearing his red Star Trek shirt for that, too.

Heavy-handed foreshadowing raht thar.

If he forgets and wears a Simpsons t-shirt instead, that will only infuriate the panda commander more.

Companders are COMPression / exPANDER units.

The theory (and practice) was that if you expand the dynamic range on playback and lower the level of the quiet stuff, you would also be pushing down the noise floor.

They're still in use in pro audio equipment racks, and I've wondered about an expander for my HT. Then I remember that I don't really have a noise floor, practically speaking, with my digital sources.

Hell, I still want a subharmonic synthesizer, which were popular enough for years that you could buy them at Radio Shack. smile

It's okay, Mark. You may have just saved J.P. at your own expense.

Now I'm thinking of a panda in a bee costume drinking an espresso.
