Hmmm, whats the nicest way to put this. I don't really want to just say
"you're crazy!". First off did you and your friend do blind listening
tests, that is you didn't know which disc was which while listening (so
you put a disc in and your friend listens, and vice versa)-- also just to
make it more interesting, sometimes use the same disc for both of the tests
and see if a difference is still as noticeable [I bet it probably would be].
Still it's good to have another MD convert, and you did provide me with a
good five minutes of helpless laughter which can't be bad :-)
Yours,
PrinceGaz.
