Let me put it this way. Take any trumpet (within reason) and play it for me, live. I'll be able to tell you it's a trumpet (not a trombone or a french horn or a cornet). Now play some recordings of trumpets, and (at least if the recording isn't terrible and the stereo system is decent) I'll be able to tell you it's a recording of a trumpet. But it's unlikely I'll ever have any difficulty distinguishing between a live trumpet and a recorded one. The harder it is for me to tell, the more accurate the reproduction is. -- 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
