A couple of corrections: HDTracks is also a record company in that the Chesky Brothers own HDTracks as well as Chesky Records. An original analog master tape of high quality, well recorded music is just a good as a high resolution digital recording and is not the source of any kind of "bottleneck". Remember that I'm just some "old guy" (56 years old to be exact) who grew up listening to evil analog defending his turf. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86017 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
