Re: Audiophilus Uninterruptus

I agree with this, up to a point. Audio-wise, it doesn't take much, ie, a decent table radio will allow me to be immersed.

WHen it comes to video, I've noticed a little problem with me -- TVs make me painfully aware of their presence, 1st is that insane flyback whistle (I can hear a tv a long ways out), then there's the scanlines, then there's the rather tiny image. All of this makes it much more difficult to get absorbed into the material being shown. I used to love the cinemas because of their super-sized, clear image. Makes it much easier to get lost. Now I can get the same effect at home.

The strangest thing is, give me a book, be it text (novel, whatever) or a good comic book (prefferably manga ;o) and I get lost. Quickly and deeply. The room goes away, the fan goes away, the chirping birds go away, everything goes away.

But TVs don"t let me do that. O.o
