By 'brisker' I mean the vocals and the instruments tend to leap out of speakers. The hi rez newfangled recording keeps the vocals and the instruments politely contained inside the speakers. The presentation appears less substantial, less vivacious,, more polished and polite, sort of like observing the museum of wax figures. This, of course, according to my ears. Your ears may vary. I actually like the strings and the mammoth choirs on some of the old recordings. The voices on some of those giant choirs are eerily present, you can almost pick each singer apart from the crowd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ heisenberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98650 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
