Looks like your reply ended up as a new thread. Keep in mind that these are different discs (potentially) mastered at different times but they have been ripped and encoded with the same settings.
With all due respect Mark, I think you may be simplifying the potential differences. Think about the original release of The Rolling Stones release of 12 X 5 with Time Is On My Side vs. the Forty Licks 40 years later. Potential editing differences aside (to fit 40 tracks onto 2 cds) I believe they will sound different even though they were ripped the same way. A more agregious example would be if this song appeared on a time-life (or lesser quality) compilation disc. I would think there are sonic differences even though they are both being ripped from CDs in the same way. My source discs are original releases, remasters, various artist compilations and soundtracks. I have identified over 2,500 duplicates and would like to know if there's an objective way to determine the best versions (sonically speaking) without having to listen to them all individually. -- zooropa320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zooropa320's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3420 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20167 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
