RE: Presuming you've seen it, pray tell, where was the promotion for the Harman Clari Fi device?

All I heard was there were ways to bring life back into the music at the very end. Perhaps there was a screen shot of the Clari Fi towards the end?

Go look at the bottom of the page at http://www.distortionofsound.com.

I haven't listened to a lot of MP3 music, but what I've heard absolutely sucked compared with even cd recordings of the same cuts played over the big rig.

Doesn't matter how you feel about MP3, the fact remains that the video is just plain dishonest. Data compression (MP3 and the like is) not the same as dynamic range compression (Google "loudness wars"). Watch the section where they compare uncompressed to compressed. The waveform they show (and the sound of the track) is NOT the result of data compression. It shows dynamic range compression. And it doesn't even represent dynamic range compression quite accurately.

Dynamic range compression is used to make a track sound louder. So not only are the dynamics compressed, the whole thing is raised in level. In their demo, the level is actually REDUCED. So what they're comparing to isn't even something you would ever encounter in real life.

Like I said, they should be sued for fraud it's so misleading.
