A step in the right direction, but they've got an uphill battle. I can't count the times I've seen the "not as loud as my other CDs" complaint in Amazon reviews, as if loud CDs are to be valued by the listener.
The other big misunderstanding I've seen in Amazon reviews is the "it's a ripoff because it's not stereo" comment. Maybe it doesn't occur to some that there was a time before stereo, when everything was mono, and a lenghty transition period (from the late 1950s to the early 1970s) when there was a mix of stereo and mono recordings. Perhaps the reason that a recording is in mono is because that's the way it was recorded! My other beef is the mastering engineers who play mono tapes back on stereo tape machines... -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43045 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
