Yeah, I know, it is hard trying to get one person to care. Harder still, a multitude of enough people to even base a plan on. Part of any plan has to be to change peoples attitude, and even admit that a problem even exists. Plans can be based on the participation, attitude, and input from a multitude of people. What is the point if you can't even change the attitude of even one person? I just can not stand the idea that the Recording Industry wins, therefore we lose, where is the plan in that! Any plan would be better than just rolling over, and doing nothing! Even failure would be a better option, than just giving up! O.K.- your arguements are not lacking persuasiveness, your apathy wins me over! I will concede the point, do nothing is the best option, allowing some of our best loved Music deteriorate under Corporate Profits and Greed makes it easier for me as well! So why do I feel the desperate need to take a shower, I just took one an hour ago? I guess I will just have to get used to that slimy feeling, can't seem to scrub it off! Never thought that I would even have to try to persuade someone to save their own neck, or act in their own best interest, but there it is-literally cutting ones own nose off to spite their face! If that is the only exercise in futility that everyone prefers, so be it! I'm through!
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!
