OK, so let's see - what is the ultimate benefit of phase accuracy? What does it help reproduce in a stereo recording? It goes back to a point I made before: since most phasing is introduced utterly artificially in most recording these days, the hardly measurable phase inaccuracy introduced by MP3 does not "corrupt" the musicality of the source. If it's a brilliantly engineered recoding with true staging (and there are such recordings around) with an entire band on stage, different story. Incidentally, I have listened to the latter as a test on MP3 at 256kbps, and while it suffers, it's still very impressive. On an articually channel- and phase- mixed recording I truly don't overly care about utter 110% accuracy. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
