It's unfortunate that the standard of audio reproduction is now the built in speakers on a laptop or the earbuds on the rack at Walmart.
It's far from any kind of standard. It's mass market crap. Riley, most people don't know any better.
I doubt you could make a case that 45 rpm singles and most pop LPs, CDs etc. played on crappy equipment sounded anything better than an MP3. I think most people today have not heard enough live music to have a standard of comparison, and I'm not talking about rock concerts in sports arenas not designed for music here. There are inevitable compromises in attempting to reproduce music as I'm sure you'll agree. But some methods are better than others, as you know. I like your approach, it seems reasonable to me. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
