Naturally, audiophiles are going to tell you your files sound terrible on their systems. There will be three explanations for this, which cannot be distinguished:
1. Your analog gear doesn't sound as good to them as to you. 2. Your digital recordings of the analog signal don't sound as much like the original would to them as they do to you: a. because your system is incapable of revealing the vast differences between the sacred vinyl and your cheap digital imitation of it b. because it's as plain as day even on your system, but you can't hear it. Unless that is, in fact, the point: we could have a flamewar about whether it's your analog gear or your recording gear or the gear on the sides of your head that are so hopelessly short of audiophile standards. What will you have learned, though? -- tom permutt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tom permutt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1893 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23019 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
