The acoustic bass has that range, especially when recorded as well as in that Kevin Mahogany album. t's in the "echo", when you hear the note reverbrate. Mahogany's vocals are out of this world, and I truly can not detect a difference in resolution there. My reference for percussion and drums was Will Calhoun's "Native Lands", and indeed there I did detect slight differences in the sharpness of some hits, but then again my ears seem to prefer warmth over "bite" in some instances, if you know what I mean. > Why not FLAC?

The main reason is inertia - I had started digitizing my music collection a while ago, and started off with my LP collection about 2 years ago - and back then following some online research decided on the MP3 256k CBR format. I'd feel guilty about giving my CDs better treatment than my beloved old LPs. :-) And it'd be a heck of a lot of work to re-do everything. I'll probably give the FLAC an inevitable test run one of these days - inquiring minds always need to find something new to play with. The Kevin Mahogany album is a prime candidate. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
