Hmm... you'd think. I've done a blind test using two MDs, one I recorded
using the old Sharp MT-MD831 and one recorded using the Sony MZ-R90. The
same source CD, played (digitally, optically) from the same Marantz
CD6000OSE player.
The Sharp recording (as I've said so many times before) has noticeably lower
quality in the high frequencies, unlike the Sony. It's like things recorded
on the Sharp have some kind of (utterly pointless) treble boost when
recording; either that or the Sharp just has a really poor bit allocation
scheme (or psychoacoustic model?) meaning it thinks I won't notice dropped
high end.
Weird.
Anyway - I'm not alone here. I recently found a whole bunch of reports
saying similar stuff about Sharp ATRAC. Let's talk.
