Thanks for the latest entries, folks, you are doing good!
As of this moment, I show sixteen entries -- though one has gone away, the user closed his YouTube account. I have seen it a few times, but it would be nice to be able to access it again, to give it a fair chance.
For those who might be interested in my process, this is what I am doing:
I watch each submission at least three times. Once, on an iPad, using headphones; the second time, on my desktop computer, which has a fair-sized screen, the sound run through a pair of small, but pretty good, Logitech speakers. The third is streamed to my TV from YouTube, through a Samsung soundbar with a separate bass speaker.
Each method has its pluses-and-minuses. The sound is, to my ears, cleanest through the headphones, but the iPad image is necessarily small. The best images are on the TV, sound still pretty good. The visuals and aurals are both decent on the computer. Taking an average of the three should give me, I believe, a fair way to judge. I can hear, I can see, and I can crank the volume up enough to feel.
Stay tuned …
