Ok, here is 30secs of this terrible recording. Let me know which samples you hear that clipped. http://softronix.com/pictures/levelperfect/a%20terrible%20recording.zip I hope the performer does not shoot me but I suspect after some folks hear even this short sample they may just buy it. If folks agree this is crap then I'll stop now. Because my ears and system say this is an exceptionally good recording and really shows how good CD's can sound. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > DuetReceiver > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77725 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
