I entirely agree - there are fantastic jazz recordings out there. Every audiophile should own a copy of Kevin Mahogany's "Pride & Joy", one of the CDs I'd take onto a lonely island even if I only had a boombox... and the recording is absolutely top notch. Good recordings are a total joy... but there aren't many of them. Even some very enjoyable soft jazz albums (Everette Harp, Marion Meadows, some Rippington's stuff) don't sound different whether they are 320k MP3s or FLACs. Same with older Deutsche Grammophon classical recordings, even. It is inevitable, though, to also play very poorly recorded popular music over our systems - mine at least does that quite regularly. And my wife will pick her latest Fergie CD over my "Coltrane Favs" playlist every day. :-) -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33276 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
