RE: I blame the computer

That poster is wrong about Electronic Dance music, its more than a person pushing a button on a laptop, and its not all crap, and its just as well recorded, if not better than your beloved Diana skin Krall records and your undermiced symphonic recordings...

If you cant hear the second violin section clearly blame the engineer!

Synthesizers and drum machines arent the bane of music, without them Artists like Krafwerk, Daft Punk, Giorgio Moroder, Tangerine dream, AIR, Brian Eno, Hans Zimmer and Armin Van Burren wouldn't exist!

I love how audiophiles describe everything played back as a recording, yes it is a recording but is much more than that, the music that is being reproduced is just as important or even more important than that one aspect. An old recording should sound like an old recording.

I heard a story about a guy who cleaned up some old reordings of old African American spirituals from the 30s and he cleaned up the audio to the point that there were no artifacts or clues as to how old they were.

People didnt beleive they were old recordings because that made them special had been lost..

The reason why people dont want to be aududiphiles is because theres too much arrogance and contradiction.

"Audiophiles" tend to lable everything under certian X-thousand dollar bracket as being "junk", there's no way a pair of $100.00-$600 bookshelves is in the same league as a dollar store boom box.... which doesent even have a woofer...
