"your mindset determines prat". Nope, my feet do. What speakers do you have?
Should a good system sound bad with bad recording?
A friend of mine came home with a few CDs burnt out of "official" bootleg recordings of Pearl Jam NorAm tour...the sound was so crappy that he looked at me a bit embarrassed, thinking "very loud" that my system was really not great despite the money I spent. I checked the site he downloaded from...full concerts are about 200 MB on average. I guess I am dealing with a case of ultra-compressed files. Should I be proud that the sound was really crappy on my set up?!!!!

I spent a very interesting morning at a local dealer. He knew I was just looking around while my girlfriend was up the street. We ended up going through his whole product line. He kept referring to "audiophile' speakers as we listened to the small bookshelf speakers and floorstanders. Nothing could have been more obvious as we switched to the big floorstanding "audiophile" speakers. Instead of just hearing the music, they were so clear you could hear the degradation from burned CD's, etc. etc. It's a dangerous line to cross. |
