It's almost weekend, I want to finish this week with some soundbites.
Recently I complained about my wide screen monitor, which is a marvel to the eye, making irritating noises. At the moment I beleived a design flaw was the cause. But this week the monitor's image started flickering as well and I contacted Philips. Their web-based support is a nightmare but top marks for the phone based version. Within 5 minutes I could explain the problem and give my data. Within 48 hours a man came at the door to change the monitor for a new one. Image is stable again and the squeek has gone. Apparantly it was a signal of some part breaking down.
In the fight against computer and enviroment noise Scott suggested Shure plugin earphones. Saw a good deal on them and bought me a set. Iâm quite disapointed in their acoustic isolation; they do make a difference but by far not what I had hoped for. But their musical quality is absolutely superb; as a whole Iâm content with them.
When it comes to music thereâs one more thing Iâd like to share with you. Back in the 70âies CBS released sampler records of their artists, like âFill your head with rockâ On that was a song by a (folk) band named Trees : âThe garden of Jane Delawneyâ. If you were into folk-music (I was and still am) it was quite impressing. Hopelessly romantic and very close harmonies. And after more then 30 years my favorite Ygdrassil have recorded this song, listen to it here. It takes the Shure earphones to unravel Lindeâs and Annemariekeâs voice. I love it but please donât flame me if you donât.
