On the whole mp3 issue... look, here's the thing. On the one hand, there is NO QUESTION an mp3 can sound better than a shn-- if the mp3 is hi-bit-rate, low-gen, off a good source, while the shn is from a poorly recorded hiss-laden source.
Not the point. Bringing mp3 into etreeland is like, and this is a stupid analogy, I just know I'll come up with a better one as soon as I hit send, like joining the chess club, then saying, "Hey guys, we really ought to play checkers once in a while." Hey, lots of folks love checkers. But you joined the wrong club. ----- Original Message ----- From: "andy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 5:49 AM Subject: Re: [etree] people must have dogs ears > Personally, if it sounds good, I did give a fig what it's 'lineage' is....My > 43 year old ears can't tell any difference between a 160 mp3 and the orignal > version of a studio CD, in fact, a good 128 rip sounds just fine to me.
