CD's sound as bad as telephones IMHO
Got yeah.. check. My cell phone and my home stereo with CD player have the same quality resolution.
Don't you think at some point you could just be biased and you have forced yourself to believe the above statement is true because you have been repeating it for so long?? I am not picking a fight but come on, digital audio is
not that bad. Saying a CD sounds like a phone smacks of elitism to me, sorry,
Yes I like analog and given the budget, space and time I would love to record on an M79 or a JH24 and listen back on a $10000 turn table but this is not the real world. Also correct me if I am wrong but the old Play School/Fisher Price record players were analog devices and I don't care what you say it will never sound as good as my home stereo
including the CD player. The equipment matters, just because it is
analog does not mean it is
sacred.
Comes a point when you have to wake up to the fact that most people are happy with MP3's and CD's, digital is not as bad as all that and if recording to digital is going to get people to listen to music so be it, that is the real goal afterall.
Oh and nice posts Ziggy, you hit every point I was going to bring up.
