I am going to say one last word on this subject, and that is it. Those of you who have decided to toss in the towel, and actually join in the Recording Industries attempts to cheapen Sound Quality to boost profits, are just confusing the Hell out of the rest of us struggling to get decent Sound Quality Value for the money! Is this your idea of, if you can't beat them, then join them? I haven't even heard from one person who even claims to represent the Recording Industry itself, it is obvious that they don't feel a need to do so! They have so many so called Audiophiles, brainwashed to do their dirty work for them! It's a hopeless cause, we are not the marketing demographic the Industry is interested in-it's all B.S. It is propaganda put out by the Recording Industry itself, they don't want you to be making judgement calls on Sound Quality yourself, and possibly cut into their Profits! It is conveniently profitable for them, if you pick up the apathetic baton and continue to pass the lie along! Your apathy is their greatest business gain! They make money off of you believing that your purchasing decisions have no real market value. That you have to just settle for whatever New crappy sounding Format that they want to dole out to you! I wouldn't even care, except that these Vultures are feeding off of your apathetic carcass, and pretty soon I will be next! Of course it is in my self interest, to persuade you that you do have value. It is unfortunate that you have chosen the Recording Industries version, that you don't have any real Market Value as a Human Being at all! Why you don't see how they benefit, and stuff their own pockets with more Profits, by you putting yourself down and cheapening your own Value! Imagine that, a Cow that not only marches itself to the slaughter house, but takes the gun and slaughters itself on cue! I am sure that the Masters of the slaughter house are astonished at their own good fortune, and are very pleased that they don't have to make any effort on their own part at all! Your apathy is a win, win situation for them, the cruxible is a lose, lose situation for you! My challenge to you is to dare you to stop making yourself a looser! Is that making a mountain out of a mole hill, sure, why not! I think you are worth it, I certainly know I am! If that makes me delusional, needing anger management, Don Quiote fighting windmills, call the guys with the white straight jackets. I am fighting for my own self worth, how about you? Do you really want the Recording Industry determining your own self worth? You will never get your soul back from them!
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!
