Nicely put, Pat. My comment was indeed about poor CDs, but no only that, there are many poorly recording tracks on all forums of media.
There's always a "drink the cool aid" quality to me about some of the excessiveness to attempt to gather enough gear and spend enormous $$$ to convince oneself that you will hear the music *exactly* the way the artist intended, or as if they were in the room with you. I find this a bit funny, given the large mutation that happens between artist's imagination, translation to accompanying musicans, track recording, recording equipment deficiencys, mistakes, editors, duplication errors and other transmogrifications. I'd lay dollars to donuts there isn't recording and playback equipment available to date that could sucessfully record someone's voice speaking, that can continually fool and convince a single, well-hearing, reasonable adult that someone was actually in the room, especially with any movement allowed. -- MrC _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
