Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit

I'm as cool as a cucumber, my challenge still stands. I dare anyone to stop making yourself a loser, to stop devalueing yourself for the sake of Recording Industry Profits. You are not just bringing yourself down, you are bringing the rest of us down with you. Start taking some pride in yourself and live, stop feeding the Recording Industry Vultures with your dead carcass of apathy. They don't need your help, they are fat enough already. It is waaaaaayyyyy past time for everyone to cut the strings of these Puppet Masters! Contrary to the latest intellectual thought, that coincidentally stuffs the pockets of your Recording Industry Masters, you do not exist in a vacuum! You do have purchasing power! Just how much exactly have you spent on your Stereo System, Just a tad more than the Teenager on his latest MP3 Player? Yet, according to your Recording Industry Masters, as far as the Market is concerned, you don't count! It is nothing more than an illusion, a shell game, smoke and mirrors, anything to get you to devalue your own self worth! It even sounds intellectual, but there is money to be had in this exercise in intellectual apathy, and it is not you that will be making it! Losing it is the likely outcome, don't you think that it is time, that you ask yourself, who you are losing it to? Devalueing Sound Quality cost you Money! Devalueing your own Market self worth, and Purchasing Power, costs you Money! Applying an apathetic intelectual exercise to yourself, costs you Money! Who stands to Profit, if not your Recording Industry Masters? Three Digital Formats have been introduced in the last 30 years, not one of them sounds as good as the earlier Analog Record. By anyones account, with anything else, these things would have been sent back to the Manufacturer as defects, a long-long-long time ago!

hi pettyofficer:

i question your priorities. you have expended a lot of energy on something rather trivial. are you this passionate about everything , or just sound quality of recordings ?

you may get a heart attack if you continue your rant.

again it is a waste of your valuable energy.

.

Pettyofficer...I like it... long time passing in need for a good rant about your concerns... rave on! John Donne, rave on! Pettyofficer... wake up them up!!!!!

:)

Happy listening,

If it is truly my valuable energy, then I can waste it anyway I please! What I don't understand, Mrtennis, is the huge concern that is invested in the High End Quality of a $10,000.00 Stereo System, and the huge disparity when compared to the rather trivial concern of Sound Quality of Recordings! There is a gap as wide as the Grand Canyon here, that you say doesn't exist? Is the idea to spend 10-50 thousand dollars on a System to take that cheap CD/SACD/DVD-Audio disk and make it sing like a Mercury Living Presence Record? At some point, you have to face reality! Gravity is very real, you are not living in the Land of OZ, and you are not going to get one over, "Garbage in-Garbage Out" no matter how much you spend! Why spend so much on such a boondoggle of a Stereo System, just to feed it trivial Sound Quality Recordings? What in the World is your point, stick a Volkswagon Engine in a Lamborgine Coutach, now you have got to sell it, sell it! The problem is, Mrtennis, is that you are indeed buying it, hook, line , and sinker! That is not the end of the problem, Marketwise, you are dragging the rest of us down with you! You are even willing to make so-called intellectual excuses to protect your investment in your collection of High Quality (SIC) Digital Recordings! You are not ready to admit that your Recording Industry Masters have stabbed you in the back with CD/SACD/DVD-Audio! We are all supposed to pretend to ignore that knife sticking out! Are you really going to make me twist it, just to prove to you that it really is there? I would rather much, just take it out, but you and your Recording Industry Masters would probably just hammer me for it!
Let me see, should the priority be on the Garbage in, or on the Garbage out? I don't know, I would say Garbage in, but what do I know? I have my priorities screwed up! I guess you could start with Garbage out, and work your way backwards, that is if you have $20,000.00 to throw away on a Stereo System that you can't quite get it to sound right!
No Heart Attack yet, don't fret, I will continue to expend more energy working on it!

hi pettyofficer:

your concern about "other" audiophiles reminds me of an officious boss. you should be concerned about yourself and not so concerned about what other people do.
