In Reply to: RE: Perfect Sound: "Science" not Marketing posted by Tony Lauck on January 29, 2009 at 10:26:59
Your response as well as Robert Young's begs the question, why attempt to attribute a scientific definition to a marketing slogan? It's a self-validating exercise as the marketing slogan is bound to fall short.Music making the painting, recording it the photograph

I simply offered to you an alternate point of view on what the man ion the street was thinking when he heard, "Perfect Sound Forever." Please don't tell me that same man suddenly had confusing thoughts, "Gee, is that slogan advertising or is it science? What in the name of all that's gracious should I do now?"
IMO, CDs won a major battle by these three things: convenience, lack of surface noise, and convenience.
"I simply offered to you an alternate point of view"That's the whole point, scientific definition are precise whereas marketing slogan are intentionally ambiguous as you have illustrated you offered an alternate view. The question still holds, why attribute scientific definition to a marketing slogan?

the little science lecture, hobby.
Here's what you wrote: " The man on the street given his experience with vinyl probably had a much simpler understanding and his understanding was readily demonstratable and still valid today i.e. no sound deterioration after repeated plays." Sorry Hobby, but that's hardly "science."
"The question still holds, why attribute scientific definition to a marketing slogan?" I wasn't addressing your "question." I was objecting to your analysis of the "man on the street's understanding."
Perhaps you should read the posts more closely? And really, drop the condescending lectures on what science is and what it is not. You certainly haven't demonstrated that you should be given authority on the matter.
Apologies if you felt my post was condescending. All this analysis (or is it alternate viewpoints) and bellyaching on a marketing slogan! "Perfect sound forever" is a marketing slogan not a scientific definition. Analyzing it for precision is a pointless exercise.Music making the painting, recording it the photograph

I mentioned it as a flat earth audio belief. No need to bring science ino it or marketing. It may have started as a marketing slogan but it spread like wildfire and was preached as gospel. I don't see why there is any debate as to the meaning of the words. They are well understood, particularly in the context of what CDs are. perfect sound = audible transparency and forever means it doesn't degrade with use or time.
Taking an advertising slogan as gospel is misguided IMO.

In the case of perfect sound forever it certainly was. Still is actually.
