Just curious. It's more relaxing to let music drift into a different room sometimes.

Bonus for being vague, so that other audiophiles will get the inside joke.

And everybody else look it up on google.

I had an an opportunity to listen to a full Mcintosh setup at an AV store with the large linear speakers.

I was duely impressed. But I was curious about other's impressions

My first impression was just how loud it could get.

The second was it's transparancy.

I was passing through Nashville and stopped at an AV store that got recently remodled. The entire store recently got remodoled.

They renamed the luxury room the million dollar room in emails at least.

Anyway, they had a wall of Mcintosh equipment and the supertall linear speakers.

On a smaller level my own home theaters does the same thing with imaging/soundstage

The speakers were at least 12' apart but the band sounded like it was between the speakers. It didn't seem like there was any sound coming from the speakers at all.

Technically, I was expecting that, but it was still mind blowing. The speakers performed exceptional. Quite transparent.

Not too surprised, given the design of the speakers. But still invites people to listen.

Did a few puzzles without much difficulty. I noticed that the analyzer is mostly useless.

The difficulty of the puzzles makes cell phone analyzers unreliable unless the person wants to go on a snipe hunt for overly complicated techniques.

That is, don't trust the analysis to spit out the fastest way from A to C.

No doubt the devs used more useful algorithms to set the difficulty.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, a truely American celebration.

I tend to look for everything at once, or at least broad catagories.

Rants can make for interesting discussions. Just make sure it's related to this reddit.

For me, for many years I dove deep, read a lot of articles written by engineers, obsessed over specification, pondered creating a stupid expensive home theater.

But after 20 years, one day I realized I don't need the best of the best, just need something I'd like to listen to, and not shout out to the world how great my system is that most can't afford.

I've mastered everthing the Sudoku 10,000 algorithm suggests.

Which seems to cap out at XYZ-wings, Swordfish, W-wings.

I try to keep a lookout for two string kites, but it's hard to look for things the analyzer doesn't suggest.

But I was curious about a couple things.

What are some techniques I could look for that Sudoku 10,000 doesn't suggest?

And, are there other good Sudoku apps (android) with algorithms that suggest techniques that Sudoku 10,000 doen't have programmed in it's analyzer?

Roughly 4.4 SE puzzle is the "Very Hard" difficulty level.

It starts to get get boring to look for the same techniques ad naseum when Sudoku 10,000 only added handful of new techniques over the "Hard" level.
