Wow, not only does Cookie's post have a very high fruitloopery factor, it is also written very poorly. Here are some other quotes from the post I found particularly amusing: "If you can't hear the difference between an original CD and a copy of your CD, you might as well give up your career as a tester." "You'll need to figure out a way to listen to your audio from the same source through the same flow of electronics. Determine what your source medium is going to be and deliver your files to be compared to one source. Of course, this is going to be one digital generation away, but all things considered your files will undergo the same digital generation." And without doubt the best of the best: "Those of us in mastering and recording are dealing with issues of loss of bits during storage and archiving daily. " I guess the fact that at this point in history the entire world economy absolutely depends of the ability store, transport, and copy massive amounts of digital data without a single undetected and corrected error (or 'loss of bits') every day has completely eluded Cookie. Well, she did work for Windham Hill. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ induna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34626 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101564 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
