MD: MDLP (was can't get my message on board)
I don't know how to get my browser to send text so im using AOL web mail. My question was, because i have a r55 and an r90, does LP2 stereo sound better or is it comparable to standard mono? and is the r900 really better than the r90? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here's part of a message I sent just after I got my R900 on the sound quality of the LP modes: -- Last night I spent a couple of hours checking out the sound quality on my R900 and comparing it to my R50. To do this, I recorded "The throne room and end title" from the Star Wars suite digitally to a disc on the R50, then moved the disc to the R900 and recorded it again using standard stereo and LP2 modes. Then I listened to all 4 recordings through the R900 using my Sony NC10 earbuds. (The CD was played through the R900 with the R900 paused in record mode.) On a scale of 1-10 with the CD being placed at 10, this is how I would rank the sound quality of the various recordings: Recorded on R50: 9.5 R900 stereo: 9.8 R900 LP2: 9.2 I didn't specifically test the LP4 mode in this manner, but I have used it. I would probably rate it somewhere around 7.6. I should note that it took very, very careful listening with my eyes closed and as little outside noise as possible for me to be able to hear the differences between the 4 versions. I would say that under normal listening conditions there would be no detectable differences between the recordings. -- As to your question about the R90 vs. R900, my not so humble opinion is that the R900 is the definite, hands down winner.

This is totally an apples and oranges comparison. Mono vs. Stereo and different levels of compression. It's like saying would you rather hear Vanila Ice on DVD audio, or Pink Floyd as a 96 kbs MP3? However in general I would far prefer LP2 to standard mono...if it's as good as they say it is anyway. I have never actually listned to an LP MD.
