What follows is an interesting alternative take (I'm quoting verbatim) on what you've said above (this is from another audiophile responding to my relentless trolling): "I recall a newspaper story in Albuquerque years ago. Hudson Audio set up a blind demo - a single musician (classical guitarist IIR) and planar speakers/amps/recorder (tape IIR) all behind an acoustically transparent curtain. The musician repeatedly played for a group of listeners on the other side of curtain as well the recording of same, listeners were not told which was which. The listeners were mostly able to tell which was live vs. recording, but had to listen very carefully to distinguish, and thought the two were very close. Hardly a rigorous scientific test, but instructive. No viewer of a still or video picture would have to pay close attention to tell if it was a recording or the real thing." -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86577 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
