Ah, but what do scientists think they know about art, music and

To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard. In this
fast-growing art of 'high fidelity' the quackery will bear a solid

True, but look at the example I posted. Unless there's a different MP3
master, you can see the small difference in DR between the vinyl and the
MP3 because of the differences in the media types, but you can also see
that they are both manifestly different from the CD.
Sure,

Thanks for the link! A very informative article.
Neil Young should know better. Dynamic range compression has been around
a lot longer than digital audio and the mp3 format. Dynamic range
compression has been used in radio broadcasting since at the 1960s, if
not before

Indeed. No need to try to rationalize it with pseudoscience, voodoo and

Yes ofcourse ,but it helps to realize that a CD as container is a good

I've ordered a pair of Event Opals, can't wait to get them home.
Wow, they are quite expensive beasts aren't they?

I noticed that Event actually shows distortion figures in percent for
the whole speaker system and not just the amplifier. Also, the figures
are better than I'd have expected. But why the 3rd harmonic?

Actually, your typical scientist knows a great deal more about art,music
and enjoyment, than the typical art or music critic knows about science.

I believe the trouble with CDs being seen as a minor product, with harsh

neither of them could hold a candle to the other couple of 9018-based

If it has a frequency response problem and muddy bass when driving
headphones that makes me want to see the measurements even more , looks
like a classic impedance mismatch problem
But also when driving a preamp in line out mode, which should be an easy
