Talking of exaggeration, it seems most younger people basically just want loads and loads of bass. Perhaps it is a combination of today's music and lossy formats that does this. I actually believe how music is created and mixed has been influenced by firstly poor quality CD sound (i think CD has sounded bad throughout most of it's existence), and now lossy formats and their PC-based playback systems. OK, I like and liked bass too, but it is nicer when it is in some kind of context. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28260 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
