wow, this story goes endless. Let me tell you my experiences and opinions. I
was doing A/B test some times ago with a friend of mine. We've been doing
recording of the same song, Jazz devil by Barry Adamson. The units were Sony
530 MD, and the rest was nothing special, Akai amp, Sony 330 CD, small
Tannoy's and some cheaper Van Den Hull speaker cables and interconnects. The
connection was analogue. The results weren't so impressive. In fact, MD copy
has the following characteristics: obviously less dynamics, very poor bass
and Jazz devil has plenty of it), narrow stereo image, and in general
flatten sound picture. We've been doing this again with the other types of
music with the same results. It doesn't put me off of buying MD, but ( maybe
it hurts somebody on this list), MD is not so impressive music format. Yes,
you need a little bit of extra concentration to spot all the differences,
but believe me, it's not so hard anyway. Don't get me wrong, I love MD, and
for a casual listening at home ( especially if you're using PC as a sound
source), in car, while jogging and riding a bike, it's a great format. But,
for a critical listening at home, it is simply not up to the CD standards.
MD simply isn't an ultimate listening experience; its advantages are
countless, but don't be so uncritical, CD is still fairly better format.
