which implies thatpeople who don;t hear what you hear have less resolving systems which then diverges into all kinds of back and forth.I find the CDR burning/testing thing flawed. For all the resons that were mentioned by artemus.
I did it because you asked me to and really to see what was up with it.
You can send me your cartridges and that would be a fair test. :-)
BTW, if there is an admitted limitation to DA conversion then the whole shooting match falls on it's own lights. It may be interesting to a test like this but it really means nothing.
My preferences are for detail in bass and topend. I also want that thing called 'music' above special effects. The CDRs show some special effects on the one cart and nothing like bass definition or balanced top end extension on either. Blame on my CDR, or my whatever. Or blame it on the CDR copying. You see what I am saying?

Yeah, I was kinda surprised no one else had jumped on that yet :)
Most home branded speakers are flat to at least 18khz. Redbook is good to 20khz. You need a metal dome or ribbon to get past 22khz cleanly.Teresa and I both have speakers that really get way out to the upper limits of audio reproduction. A decent set of horns or ribbon like technology is what creates a high resolving system.
By the way, some of the very best selling speakers in the world had a response no better than 28-17khz, and even that was a bit bumpy. They are great resolving speakers but not high resolution speakers.
Hopefully we do not flame about frequency response and speakers, there is more to frequency response than the drivers alone. For instance my midfi Kenwood and Pioneer Elite phono sections only resolved to 14khz. They were fun to listen to but the Jolida just wipes them away in comparison.
Depending upon your age, it's not likely you can hear above 17 kHz anyway. Are you sure you can? Have you measured your listening room freq response?Your explanations seem a bit condescending, don't think most folks here have a fairly good handle on this stuff?
BTW, my speakers do extend above 20K (measured in my listening room), but as I said, doesn't really matter for me.
