Two things not mentioned in this thread that I have seen; 1. CDs are limited to 20Hz - I think this is in the original Red Book standard. Can't find a citation reference though but a quick search of mastering advice sites mention this as the low limit.
2. There is plenty of electronica and dance that doesn't just go down below 40Hz but relies on it. Those who may be more familiar with "natural" music from instruments (acoustic or electric) may or may not also be familiar with lots of stuff by folks like Leftfield, Faithless, Massive Attack - to name just a few of the more established names. To me Faithless in particular seem to have albums and tracks that are basically incomplete without sub-bass. Try listening to "Crazy English Summer" with and without a sub - it's like B&W vs Colour :) Don't even get me started on dubstep :p -- Peter Galbavy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Peter Galbavy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93382 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
