You're closely describing some code I had inherited over a decade ago. Except that the 700-line function itself was duplicated 6 times.

Nice song, but that's not a strange name though...
I've listened to black metal bands with sounding names such as Ninnghizhidda and Hrossharsgrani.
Actually those names are so weird I DID remember them

Nor when you have a three legged dog that is the very personification of cute! I've got so used to being called Alaska's Dad/Master(as if!)/Owner/Friend (everybody asks the dog's name - nobody asks mine!) or just 'the bloke with that dog' that I'm not sure I can remember my name!

Urban legend: Lunching with English friends at the time of her husband's retirement, Madame de Gaulle was asked what she was looking forward to in the years ahead.
"A penis," she replied without hesitation.
The embarrassed silence that followed was finally broken by the former president.
"My dear," he murmured, "I think the English don't pronounce the word quite like that. It's 'appiness.'"

I'd go with tungsten, given that we're talking about both infrared and X-Rays, plus the normal heat.

Last week I posted about the need to set up a Bluetooth to Bluetooth connection from the Hi-Fi to my Android, but all suggested solutions failed, some at the first hurdle - "This product cannot be shipped to Cyprus". I therefore decided to take a different approach, and use LPOW technology.
The process first required a trip to the shed, and bury under eons of "It might come in useful later" stuff, to find the graphic equalizer that I discarded when I got an active crossover to drive the speakers through a matched pair of Mark Levinson's. This was then inserted into the chain after a passive preamp to select the source, and drives into an active class 'A' preamp to stuff lots of power into the MLs - peak power 1700 watts per channel times four channels...
Now I can plug in my Stax and listen with the audio shaped to match my degenerated hearing. I must confess that during the process the technology became LPOFW , and when my wife got home, though she didn't say so, I suspect it became FLPOW tech, as in "That's not staying there!".
So I guess it was actually FLPOFW tech, in the end - but it works just fine!

Is there any other way to listen to Pink Floyd?
Anyway, I forgot to add in the 1500 watt subwoofer with its own amp.

It also sounds great on my Bose QC 15s. Best headphones I ever had!

I will stick to my HD-650's for now.

Fortunately, we have a stone built detached house, with one metre thick walls, and our nearest neighbor is 50 metres away. Mind you, they do know when the Wagner goes on!

Maths a bit off there - try 6,800! That is peak power, though. The sustained RMS value is a mere 400 watts, but the amps have a huge power supply, with a 1.2 KVA toroidal power transformer, and storing 230 Joules. The power is mostly to render musical transients instantaneously and cleanly.
