>Both formats are easy to attack because they so rarely meet their potential -- the real enemy is recording and mastering engineers who do not try to give us high quality sound, not the formats themselves.<
So true.
On another audio site I was checking out, PHP's own Dan Banquer writes that he used to be an audiophile until he found out what was happening in the recording studio.
His point is well taken.

  How many objectivists does it take to change a lightbulb?
  Four. Two to test the house wiring (after 6 hours of arguing whether to use 75 or 100 watt bulbs), one to change the bulb and one to bitch that the newfound light invalidates the DBT protocol.
  Sorry - forgot the veil... or did you mean a "personal" character attack? Hmmm... let me think... oh, yeah. Yer deaf!
  I'm off to audition speakers... with a subwoofer... and a solid state amp... and equalization...and generic cables. I'll be an objectivist yet!

    Nice to hear you're finally thinking about UPGRADING your system.
    Wear a hat -- subwoofers, solid state amps, equalizers and generic cables will make your hair fall out. Happened to me (that's what I use at home).
    Hope the EQ is parametric and is used for the subwoofer where it can do the most good and is much less likely to make the sound worse. Always try listening with the EQ bypass switch on too.
    When youi finally buy a decent system, please do not donate your current Blose Acoustimess Shreikers to charity.
    Just burn them.

      It would be an upgrade for sure.

      The owner of the speakers is better than a parametric - he's a full fledged M.D!

      I'm an analog guy, remember? I have a Sears Close-N-Play. Evil Digital!

        I'm already Dog Catcher's Assistant. We supply strays to most of the Greek restaurants in town. But thanks for your support.
        Yes, I saw your Greek comments on General but I didn't think you'd set me up this well! :)

        Spinach Pie sounds interesting. It's a combination of something bad with something good in an effort to lend culinary credibility to the former. Other varietals include Puke Mignon, Liver Cake and Snot Brulee. Yummy. But if you walk over this way, stop by and wash that stuff down with a few cold ones and some tunes. I'll even substitute the good cables for zipcord - just for YOU!
