You think that Recording Industry Executives are welcome to reasonable, thoughtful. and thorough dialog with anyone toward finding a solution to better recording quality? You have got to be kidding me! Can you listen to yourself? Sounds like a Flee trying to negotiate with Darth Vader, trying not to tick him off too much before being splattered! Tickling the Dragons Tail are we, sounds pretty touchy/feely to me! Just how does a Deer negotiate with a Hunter, trying to prevent him from pulling the trigger? I will say it one more time, how many more crappy Formats does it take before you realize that you are the apathetic Target of the latest shell game? What is the point of even considering an action plan, when the attitude is to give up without even concidering trying? Simple question, why don't you even want to concider trying? Seems to me that it is going to take every ounce of effort in my action plan, just to get anyone to even concider a change in direction! Attitude might be the first step, ya think? In fact, it seems to me that attitude is 98% of the problem, it is obvious that it is the biggest obstacle! You have certainly proven that to me! Your attitude seems to be to roll out the big red carpet for higher Record Industry Profits, and degrading Sound Quality. Must you be so enthusiastic about making sure that carpet is properly cleaned, pressed, and vacuumed? You can't even bring yourself to admit that the Recording Industry really pulled a fast one over you, in the last three mutated, and malformed Formats that they have pawned on you! Is Ego part of the problem? Can you set aside your Ego for five minutes, and take a clear look at what the Recording Industry has recently done to Americas prestigious History in Recorded Music? If I can get you to do that, gee, how much more action plan do you require of me, for moving a mountain? It is a lot of heavy lifting, and I could use some help! The flood waters are already at our necks, and you want a reasonable/thoughtful/thorough plan before anyone should take action! How about swimming for your life, if self preservation is an instinct that you possess!
Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit
Just wanted to relate an experience I recently had with a friend of mine. Those that have read my Threads before, have heard me wax enthusiastically about a DIANA KRALL-The Look of Love-DVD Audio Disk. The Recording has a Multi-Channel Surround Sound version Recorded in 24-bit/96 kHz. The Disk is being played through a Pioneer DV-58AV Universal Player, connected to a SpaceTechLab A-102 Vacuum Tube Headphone Amp, Driving a pair of Grado RS-1 Headphones. Only having 2-Channel capability, the Pioneer can Downmix the Multi-Channel version to two. A 65 year old friend of mind, not an Audiophile with limited hearing, was given a chance to listen to this Recording. His jaw had dropped to the floor. After listening for five minutes, he took the Headphones off and said "why don't they make all of them sound as good"? This Man was unimpressed with the multiple 2-Channel SACD/2-Channel Hi-Rez DVD-Audio Disks that he has heard on this Pioneer. The only thing that I can say is "out of the mouth of Babes...."! Sorry to keep harping on the point, but I believe that this is the only solution to the lack of Harmonic Content on all 2-Channel Digital Recordings, no matter the sampling rate. I also believe that it is the only solution to closing the gap of Harmonic Content between Analog and Digital, minus the ticks and pops. It would be a damn shame to lose it!
