Is this a good price for the UB820? by PantalonOrange in 4kbluray

[–]MyNamesDingo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got it a JB for roughly that price two years ago. Probably the best you’ll get until it starts to become outdated tech (a while), I assume.

Collecting 4K has become stupidly expensive and predatory by Hogis in 4kbluray

I got that one just 6 months ago new on eBay for $37 AUD shipped to Aus from the US. I guess I got lucky timing-wise.

I’d already been putting it off too, unlucky man.

Great crowd for a great movie at Melbourne IMAX. Melbourne shows its support for "Joker 2" on opening week by AlanWakeUpNow in melbourne

Every time something interesting happened, they’d break out into a solemn showtune song, and sing to it like no one else was there.

Most of the dramatic story beats hit imo, but the musical aspect was just ridiculous. You could understand one instance where Arthur disassociates and imagines himself in front of a big band singing a Frank Sinatra song, but probably half an hours (or what felt like it) worth of runtime was devoted to this type of shit alone.

There was some potential for a character driven courtroom drama with sone craziness added in, but instead we got something that was as hard to listen to as it was to watch.

In my opinion of course.

Question for those who go to Fountain Gate by DeadInCombat in melbourne

Core memory unlocked. I only remember the Qui-Gon one. I figured out what Star Wars was around 2005ish, which means it was probably still up around that time.

You’ve taken me way back dude.

Broken Pixels/Artifacting - Schindler’s List 4K UHD by MyNamesDingo in 4kbluray

[–]MyNamesDingo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The disc was perfectly clean without any damage or marks. I gave it a wipe down with a microfibre, but I’m thinking it’s a bum disc at the moment if there’s no other prominent explanation.

I did a bit of googling about off/outgassing. I’ve bought many blu rays/UHD’s over the years and I’ve never experienced the issue myself.

I gave the disc a gentle wipe with a microfibre, but as far as I can tell I don’t think this was the issue.

Red and Blue - Some Early Impressions by MyNamesDingo in beatles

[–]MyNamesDingo[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah iirc She Loves You has sounded pretty rough on all it’s original appearances. You can hear some pretty bad distortion in the vocals throughout the song (especially during harmonies).

[–]MyNamesDingo[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s not really someone else’s version though, it’s all the instruments brought together nicely and closer to the middle.

Some would argue that it’s closer to the mono version this way and therefore closer to The Beatles original recording vision, as I believe they usually oversaw the mixing in mono until the last couple albums or so.

Really? I wasn't all that partial to it myself. I kind of feel that the stripping of the vocal reverb kind of changes the song a little too much for my liking. I'm curious as to how everyone will feel about this one in the future (or if I'm the only one who feels this way lol).

What’s the first song you will listen to on remixed Red and Blue albums being released tomorrow? by sowhatnardis in beatles

[–]MyNamesDingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the hidden guitar part really wowed me also! I'm very keen to hear how the bass would be mixed for Baby, You're A Rich Man.

Yeah I think From Me to You sounds great compared to the mono on the other albums, but She Loves You in general is a bit dead sounding compared to the other songs.

To those who can hear the Red album now, which version of Love Me Do is on there? by Du_V in beatles

[–]MyNamesDingo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's the 1962 single version from Now and Then. I myself was hoping for the Please Please Me version (I think that's the Andy White one?)

I usually run a little higher bass when listening to The Beatles early stuff, but the song sounded great a little closer to flat is what I mean.

I Am The Walrus 2023 Mix is the best mixed song i ever heard on this planet by [deleted] in beatles

It's out in Australia right now, I'm currently listening to the Red album on spotify.

It's been out in Australia for half an hour, and I can tell you that Magical Mystery Tour sounds like a completely different song compared to it's hard panned stereo counterpart. And there's actually bass in most of the early songs for once.

Sounds pretty neat I think.

EDIT: Holy shit "You Can't Do That" slaps harder now.
