diw Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Largely because of the line width used for articles...good typographic practice for readability usually specifies line lengths of 60-75 characters including spacing...CA gets up to 158 or so. This makes it harder to read the wonderful articles...we all know that in audio, details matter...its the same for typo. Think of it as a tweak offered in a friendly spirit of support.....

wgscott Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 It is HTML. Lines wrap. Otherwise disaster would ensue. So as a viable alternative, crank up your browser font size until you get the desired number of words per line. Link to comment

I was wondering where your herrings were soused... Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
sandyk Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Eyes going as well as the hearing? (Me too...) Hi Don The ads on the RHS, and the increased gap on the LHS compared with many other forums don't help either.

esldude Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Maybe everyone knows this, I know many do, but have often been amazed at how many don't. Holding the ctrl key and + together gives your browser some zoom. Hit it again for more or again for yet more. ctrl and -(minus key) zooms the other way. I run into so many pages that are sized differently. I zoom in or out without even thinking about it. And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

Also, with Safari there is smart-zoom, a double-tap on the main body of the text fills the window with just what you want to focus on. There are ways to prevent the ads, but I don't want to undermine Chris. Link to comment

Thanks everybody....some of those approaches dont seem to work with Safari but the zooming helps... the font size affects legibility ( that is can you recognize the letter ) but the line length affects readability ( the amount you have to scan to read each line ) I had also forgotten about the Reader view in Safari, which really helps. Completely off topic, but does the Brooks B17 reference in your signature refer to the Professional one with hammered rivets? A man after my own arse, if you will forgive the Brit spelling.....I dont mean to open any worm cans about ads so keep up the good work Chris Roon NUC I3 w 2500 albums, microRendu to Liberty DAC, Pass DIY Amp class amp, Klipsch RP600 or to Schiit Freya + Gumby MB, Sanders ESL amps and speakers, Mjolnir KGST and Stax L700 Link to comment

It really improves the sound-stage. You might have to turn on smart zoom in the system preferences (mouse or trackpad). eg: Link to comment
mrvco Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I get a minimum of ~110-112 characters per line in Chrome and Safari in OS X. Zooming doesn't change the characters per line for me, it just makes the characters larger. My browser is usually a bit wider than this, but it still seems to read ok by my eyes. -- My Audio System Link to comment

Find out what command in your browser that activates word wrap *within* the window (properly called a table) containing each block of text.
