| MoFi controversy @optimize Dynamic compression is not an overlooked problem. It is discussed often here and on other forums. It is by far the biggest problem for digital formats and is contributing to the vinyl resurgence among audiophiles. There is little we ca... | |
| MoFi controversy Thanks @twoleftears . I'll definitely read it. Should be interesting. | |
| MoFi controversy Thanks @twoleftears . I thought maybe they had put something up about the MoFi story. It will be interesting to see if they have anything to say about it. | |

| How Audiphiles are Different I agree with you erik. Your OP is well thought out and stated. It is apparent to me that no two of us hear the same or enjoy the same sound or music. The idea that there is one right system or type of music or sound that is best for everyone is mi... | |
