snip crap


I really sometimes wonder what the audiophool nuts reckon audio
professionals do
for a living ?



Well, according to some sources, they could turn one of Beethoven's bottled
farts into his 10th Symphony if they wanted to, but let's not go there...




Maybe they missed the fact that it isn't audiophools who actually make the
recordings, mix them down, master them and press them ?



Steady on - you'll be giving the Fidelity Freaks a heart attack at this
rate....!!


Only then do the
terminally clueless get a chance to think they can somehow make it better
than
the original, which may have passed through a thousand well-designed
op-amp
stages on its way to its destination !


Call me a **** if you like, but I take hold of a record (even a CD
occasionally) and I consider it a *product* and all I want to do is get the
best of it - I don't terribly care what the conductor had for breakfast on
the morning of the recording session or what it smelled like in the
recording studio. All it has to do is sound as *realistic* as possible for
me - that's *my* realistic, not anyone else's and it definitely helps if I
can hear *all* of the voices, *all* of the words (where applicable) and
*all* of the instruments. I know from my own *personal experience* that a
lot of the so-called modern, blameless, low-distortion kit on modern
speakers just *doesn't do that*......!!

OK...??
