We're all probably better off if the amateur psychology is left out of these discussions. The problem with "intimate subjective experiences" is they are yours alone and are not transferable to others. There is a place for science in the recording and reproduction of sound. There is nothing wrong with looking for differences that are actually physically audible as opposed to perceptions that include subjectivities that vary widely by person. I've got some pretty dang fine recordings that are just Redbook. I was listening to Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor last night and was thoroughly enthralled. I don't think 24/96 or 24/192 would have done a thing to enhance the experience. The only next step for me would have been a live performance. I'd much rather the recording industry, as a whole, learn to take advantage of what we already have versus chasing some number. There are plenty of examples of how to do things right with an ordinary CD. It is just a pity that more in the recording industry don't follow those examples. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82870 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
