November 12, 200718 yr comment_63758 watch this: http://www.pbs.org/kcet/wiredscience/story/67-audio_files.html I saw this and, as an audiophile, it just made me sick. I wanted to grab that digital nazi by the neck and strangle him through my computer screen right then and there. The whole world is NOT moving to mp3 crap. I think cds are probably here to stay. I also hope LPs don't get phased out anytime soon. Audiophiles unite! All hail lossless audio and analog recordings! Report
November 12, 200718 yr comment_63767 I'd like to see how people's brain respond to analog sources vs. digital in a functional MRI. I'm curious to see ultra high and low frequencies affect us on an emotional level. I remember seeing a study once that showed that even though we can't consciously hear ultra high and low frequencies, but our brains still react to them. Report
November 12, 200718 yr comment_63840 Did anyone manage to identify the headphones been used by the test subjects during the blind test? I think they're crap-ass Sonys, which would go a long way towards explaining why they can't hear a difference. Report
November 12, 200718 yr comment_63842 yeah they looked like low end sony monitors like the old V6's. Report
November 13, 200718 yr comment_63909 I thought they were AKG's (if this is the same show I saw on Sunday on actual television). And: yeah. Those "golden ears": "I've worked with Beyonce', and Duran Duran, and blah blah blah..." -- yeah, fidelity is real important with those guys. (Although I like Duran Duran musically, their production is nothing special. I might give them a "B-"/"C+".) Report
