I would think the important thing would be the analog source, and if the digital stage reduced the number of generations it takes to get to the disc it would compensate for the insult to one’s digital virginity. They shouldn’t have lied about it. It’s the posturing and pretensions of the digital virgin community that makes it comical.

What is the difference between a "Professional" Audio Journalist and an amateur? Presumably the pro gets paid for what he or she does and the amateur doesn't. Knowledge wise there may be no difference at all, and it is quite possible that the amateur has more knowledge in our hobby. It isn't as if there is some graduate degree in Audio Equipment Reviewing |
“I bet the majority of listeners actually like highly compressed music.” @larryi …sadly majority of listeners just don’t care. Spotify still has the largest subscriber base due to their vast catalog, streaming in 160kbps - 320kbps range. |
