snip own ******** and an interesting reply


cable - of course not! As you are an 'audio enthusiast' and do not claim
to
be an out&out techie then its pretty clear what you were asking in your
posting. Simply 1 or 2. I'm sure most replied accordingly and you got
the
answers you required.


Yes, I did thanks! The added bonus was that the 'normal' replies confirmed
my own thoughts and those of a couple of people that have heard the tracks
here. The outcome is not so peachy though - I now have a few hundred tracks
(more than I thought) that I feel should be replaced!

If Clever Clogs hadn't been such a smartarse and attached his own agenda to
my doings I don't think the 'media/format' thing would have come up at all -
I haven't *even yet* identified the tracks and thought they were so close
myself it need not have been an issue at all. (If they had been vastly
different I wouldn't have needed to seek 'outside opinion'!)

Ya hafta bloody larf! - As I said, there was no hidden agenda and no dark
ulterior motive attached to this exercise, but the fact that Rudi had to run
the tracks through his computer to 'identify' them and that the 'demon
device' (that causes him so much anxiety) is actually a no more than a
little 'budget' number from the very bottom end of the food chain says more
about the sound quality it produces than I would have done! :-)

(I kinda think he's shot himself in the foot on this one! :-)


Trouble is this is a big open window and you get both the smell of flowers
and the sewerage works wafting in.


Indeed, but the less we 'accept' this sorry fact as the norm, the better the
view gets (hopefully). The trouble is that there's not too much to see out
of the window much of the time - leads me to post perhaps more than I
should, just to see summat happening!
