RE: Can audio component sales personnel play tricks on customers?

My latest impression: MQA. Listened to John Coltrane "Giant Steps" in MQA format. Sounded bloody awesome! I could easily follow every Coltrane's nuance on the tenor sax, things I've never heard before because of the blinding speed of his playing.

Then listened to the same track in red book format -- the music just collapsed. Everything else remaining equal -- same volume, same configuration. Simply going from MQA to CD the music just died.


Who knows what was actually being played..... I guess the best way to find out for sure is visit someone who has an MQA source, and listen to the music of your choice.
