The water example is an excellent one, speaking as one who can't stand the
taste of chlorine. Thanks for this very good message.

Not so, although you may think it is because you are playing it on the same
equipment that it was recorded on. Take that same recording and bring it to a
professional studio and you will quickly notice the difference. Having said
that there are recording artists that record their songs at home in order to
save money on professional recordings, and the quality of their recording is
acceptable to be put on a CD. The standards for home recording equipment is
improving dramatically, and definitely meets the standards of low end
professional equipment. Most radio stations that play CD's on air use home
equipment, as it is much cheaper, and when it breaks down they throw it away
and simply get a new machine. Professional broadcast quality CD players sell
for over two-thousand dollars for a single unit, and a home unit can be
purchased for under a hundred bucks. You would be hard pressed to detect the
difference in audio playback quality between a home and professional unit on
a broadcast station. By the time that signal leaves the studio and ends up on
your receiver it goes through a number of changes. Audio processing and
equalization are just a few of these changes that take place in the chain of
events between the studio, transmitter, and your receiver. Broadcast
engineers do their best to make sure that the quality of their audio is as
close as possible to the quality of the audio that leaves the studio. The
best analogy that I can think of is a water treatment plant that cleans up
your drinking water. To some people the taste of the water is acceptable, and
to others the taste of chlorine in the water is unacceptable. The audio
debate will definitely take on another form once we move into HD digital
broadcast audio.

bruce i would have to respectifully disagree with you
with a good home recording set up you can get the same pro recordings as the
pro's do, and so for those of you who like to do the restoration of vinal,
tapes, 78's and lps and reels and the like go for it

Are professionally-produced CD's of the albums you're interested in not
available? They may well have much better sound than anything you could
produce with home-grown equipment.
