nope, average sound systems are very lossy, there are delicate yet beautiful subtleties to the music/sounds that are LOST that you cant hear even though they ARE on the recording with average gear. There are also other Things like thunderous dynamics get squashed taking the "life" out the music, things like imaging that make the instruments seem to be coming from a specific space, things like immediacy where the transient sounds are so fast, they can become startling, etc, etc, youre out of your mind if you think you mind can create all this stuff on a crappy sounding audio system that doesnt do these things, which is what high end audio / MUSIC is all about.
What your taking about is true to some extent but only with regards only to noise like hiss or static, but its NOT true with regards to all the other very LOSSY problems average sound system have. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom C Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 12:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: OT - for those of you who have DVDequipthatcan playPAL systemDVD's When it gets to that point I read a book, take a walk, or get a glass of Pinot Boir or Malbec and sit outside communing with the stars. Quite frankly I have very fond memories of playing scratched 33 1/3 Beatles LP's on a portable stereophonic Zenith record changer with built-in speakers on the bedroom floor. Most of us have an exquisite filter that just follows our eyes and ears in the sensory train. It's called a brain. This clever little device magically seems to clean up hisses, pops, snow, static, etc., so that we continue enjoying what we see and hear despite any momentary imperfections in it's reproduction.
