Then show me a double blind test that actually showed anyone could actually do it. To date, I've never seen anyone that can do it under controlled conditions.
Again, until anyone can, then what you have is a difference in perception versus reality. Also, if your grandmother is deaf, then how could she possibly hear it? When people say that they can tell the difference, they are not listening to the actual recording. They are either listening to the whir of the motor in the CD player, a pop or hiss on the record, or the contact between the needle and the record. When you remove those from the experiment nobody can tell the difference. -William -----Original Message----- From: Aleks Ozolins <[email protected]> To: The Horn List <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, Aug 31, 2010 11:15 pm Subject: Re: [Hornlist] survey: digital download vs CD release > On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 7:20 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I still hear people say that vinyl records sound better than CDs - when the truth is no one can tell them apart... > Sorry, but with even mediocre playback equipment my deaf grandfather can tell the difference between a CD and a good vinyl pressing. The truth is that you know not what you speak of in this regard.
