In Reply to: mainstream consumers and audiophiles are two entirely different set of listeners posted by Teresa on June 18, 2005 at 14:14:36:
You *really* have your nose in the air. I am by all means an audiophile: Mainstream pop kiddies don't have tube amps and an XA777ES or a 3910.You've been getting more and more disconnected. I can't *wait* until there's more Pink Floyd on Hi-Rez to listen to over my '777 and HD650's.
There are ABSOLUTELY audiophilic qualities in MANY "mainstream" recordings which -you- may consider dreck, simply because they aren't the "acceptedly refined" genre of jazz or classical.
Personally, the Living Stereo releases to me are DREADFULLY boring. But if ANYTHING, I'm an audiophile.
This characterization that ALL rock/classic rock/pop/electronica is ALWAYS overcompressed and simplistic is complete *bull*. Yes there's a LOT that is, but it is in NO way universally bad.
I have no idea if the Foo Fighters recording is any good. Remember however that Nirvana's "Nevermind" was released on an MFSL Gold Disc which I have to say is *VERY* good -- even if you don't have a *taste* for the style of music.
The buck doesn't stop with you Teresa. As I said, you're attacking in the wrong way because once again you've proven yourself to be the 'fruitcake' to KEKL's 'cheez whiz'.
KEKL says "lol sacd is dead because Foo Fighters got released", and you reply with "Well, US SACD PEOPLE don't CARE about anything but classical and jazz!"
Shove it. Speak for yourself, not for others. You are not the only true audiophile. Now I don't think KEKL is an audiophile at all, but even if you don't want to broaden your horizons (I have: I'm a rock fan who's getting into jazz..) - don't act like nobody else can get beyond the stupid 'stigma of the genre'.
Listening to classical and jazz does not automatically make you refined. Listening to rock or pop does not automatically make you tasteless.
