Since I became president of the sight and sound club this is auctually
something a lot of people asked when I used my MiniDisc JE510 deck to
record concerts rather than thier crappy tape deck. This lead me that I
need to run some blind listening tests.
Seeing as we auctually had some advanced e

Why is that? MD by design compresses the musical signal. It does a very
good job, but it is still discarding some data. In order to make a b

I really find it impossible that any cassette deck, no matter how expensive
could sound as good as a decent MD recorder.

Yes it actually is ... each is a different wave form. But what counts is whether
we hear a difference.

This might be a crap question and totally unrelated, but
I thought someone could try ripping an audio track from CD to their hard drive, then
record the same track to MD digitally and then, back to their hard drive digitally.
Then take the track ripped from the MD, invert it, and then mix
that costs nearly as
much as your house and still use MD? I wonder what these MD using
audiophiles have to say...
questions.

The rep from Circuit City replied to a list member saying that he thinks he
can hear the difference between CD source and MD copy. My question is, has
he heard the lastest ATRAC-versioned MDs or is this something he noticed
back in 1991? I'd ask him myself, but I don't have his email address.
