RE: Let me get this out of my system...

I have a friend with a great system, a beautiful Rives designed room, and the ability to easily hear differences in equipment. He has a recent MacBook and uses Amarra. He doesn't hear any difference between AIFF and Apple Lossless. My main audio pal here in town also has a fine system with a recent MacBook and Amarra. He can hear differences between these files.

I have come to the conclusion that we all listen differently and focus on different aspects of the musical event. "What you prefer, you will hear" has some validity. But to totally embrace that philosophy would disregard the differences that actually exist. What is significant to one listener may not be significant to another.
