I agree to 99% but i do disgress on a small thing you can not engineer to reenact the reality of the event that would only theretically work for one record or song ? If it properties where know, wich it is not. You can strive to reproduce the signals in the files or on the disc's this is known things you can somewhat have a clue when youre getting closer. As you say recordings is it own thing not the actuall event, most of what i listen to have never happenend in reality anyway. I just wanted to sharpen my reasoning against the audiphile obsession with the little things and just ignore the big picture. As the CD sound like cr*p anyway or maybe I should use another room in my house for my hifi ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
