Some are quite accurate, but none make the grade. I've rarely if ever heard a reproduction of any sound I couldn't immediately identify as a reproduction after a moment, although I think my system comes about as close as any. > How hard will it be for you to tell us that? Not hard. > Your description in accuracy is useless for the 99.99999% of listeners > who were not present at the recording studio. Its only useful in your > imagination, and Im not sure we all can trust it... That's not what I said. Let me try again: live trumpets sound different from each other, but they are all identifiable as live trumpets. Recorded trumpets sound different too, but they are usually (always?) identifiable as recorded trumpets - trumpets and not trombones, but recorded, not live. A very accurate reproduction would mean that a blind listener couldn't tell she was listening to a recording rather than a live instrument. A perfectly accurate reproduction would mean she couldn't tell the difference between a particular live trumpet and a recording of it. Personally, I'd be very happy with the first level - if the differences between the reproduction and the original become smaller than the differences between two trumpets we'd have made enormous progress. -- 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
