Certainly two different trumpets played by two different trumpeters in two different rooms can sound very different. But they still sound like -trumpets-, not like speaker cones in sealed boxes. > If I didnt know better, I couldnt tell if the trumpet that Miles Davis > plays is the same instrument as the one Arve Henriksen plays.... Really? In any halfway decent recording I can easily identify a trumpet as a trumpet. It doesn't follow from the fact that instruments can produce a wide range of different sounds that there is no such thing as accuracy in reproduction. The distortions by audio recording/playback have a very different character from the differences in sound produced by playing two different trumpets in two different rooms. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49757 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
