Re: MD: ATRAC-R (HiFi)

2000-10-10 Thread Fendlewood Walker


"Fidelity" is an objective term.  It
means faithfulness.  Which means
that the what you hear is as close to
the original as possible.  It is true or
"faithful" to it.

Me being on the digest, this may've already been addressed, but just to 
continue in the hair-splitting vein:
Some people striving for hi-fi are attempting to reproduce exactly what the 
recording engineer hears on his monitors in the studio.
Some people are attempting to reproduce the live event.  Which is subtley 
different, and begs the flippant question - which seat? - because the 
listening environment overwhelms all else.
Some people are trying to create the sound that pleases them most in their 
environment, a moderate and perhaps sensible approach given that none of us 
live in anechoic chambers.
But it gets very muddy in a world of electronic or processed music.  What is 
the original sound?  There is no original acoustic environment for some of 
this stuff, borne solely of electronics.

You can choose the flattest full range speakers possible, but you're still 
hearing mainly your room.  All good fun until someone loses an eye.

Time to whip out the Sennheiser phones?

Re: MD: Spam Argument (Sorry!)

IF you get digest mode, you have to save
all the digests.  If you want to go back and check something on an 
interesting topic, you have to go through all those digests

Not at all, you just go to Amulation where every message is archived.  I 
receive the digest and I delete them all, I don't want to keep any of the 
messages.  It's much easier to delete one digest mail than X number of 
individual mails.


From: Michael Stouffs
If it was 1 "ad-mail" per week or month then that would be MD-related
information IMO, but once a day this is becoming spam.

Hey how about this:
There will be a mailinglist and you can subscribe to it here:

http://www.coollist.com/group.cgi?l=mdtalk-bargain

Excellent idea, thank you.

Subject: MD: Pierre's Posts

I think everyone is missing a point that is obvious:
Peter includes the complete text of what he is
replying to (others do this too).  The most annoying
thing about Peter's posts (to me) is having to scroll
through all that stuff that we have already read.

I agree with this too.  This irritates me more than the spam, though the 
spam is starting to grate.

Express.

Give it a try, You'll never want to go back to digest mode.

This borders on insulting and is completely beside the point.  We digest 
subscribers do not choose digest because we don't understand how to filter 
or organise mail.
I *started out* subscribing to the individual mail list, I changed to and 
greatly *prefer* the digest because nothing is worth retaining over and 
above the archiving already present at Amulation, among other reasons.

BTW, Digest 766 only had 2 MD related posts and
the rest argument about spam.

Exactly!  Yay for spam!

I'm glad to see someone else besides me complain
about "40+ lines of useless quoting" after the
reaming out I got over bringing it up...

Add me to the list of whingers.


From: Dan Frakes [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The thing that is really unfortunate here is that the solution is easy, 
clear, and has
been presented many times. Peter already has
a "deals" mailing list. People who want his
deals should subscribe to it.

Hear hear!  I totally agree.


And yes I am just adding to the noise.  Let's see how much more flogging the 
dead horse can withstand.

Are you ready for some Hotmail spam?  Prepare yourselves.
