Incorrect. I've stated several times that I WANT CD to
be superior in every way, and that's the truth.

Sue me for reading more than just Jenn posts like this
one. IOW Sue me for looking at more than just a few of
your posts.

Oh, read all that you want; be my guest. There's nothing
to indicate anything different from the above.


They are
more convenient, more readily available, and there is
more music (my main interest) available in print. I
listen to CDs a great deal more than I listen to LPs and
I own many more CDs than I do LPs. Further, I think
that the average CD sounds better in just about every
way to
the average LP. I would have to be an idiot to not
want CDs to sound better. And, I'm a believer in
science and I understand that the science as we
presently understand it tells us that CDs should sound
better than all LPs.


And what is it that you say about the sound of strings
on LPs and CDs, Jenn?

It's well known here; use Google.

I thought I'd get the 3/9/2006 11:25 am EST version.

It's no different from all of the other "versions".

Apparently you've not tried GOOD tequila.

What are your 3 favorites?

I didn't think I was going to, but I found out that I actually like
Cabo
Wabo.

Cabo Wabo is one of my favorites. I also like Chinaco, and I'm
currently working on a bottle of Patron that's not bad. I've only
recently "discovered" good tequila, so I'm still experimenting...
I
prefer the reposado variety in all brands.

I enjoy getting "newbies" to try it - they react to the suggestion
as
one might expect, with that "Tequila straight? Yuck!" look on their
faces... 8)

That was the surprising thing about the Cabo Wabo, it was smooth, no
harshness as is typical with lesser stuff.

Tried the Paron and IIRC it was a bit harsher than the CW.

Blind test? ;-)

No reason to yet. They are sufficently different that they can be
determined without it.

Of course I did have some expectation bias I suppose, but it turned out
to
be nothing sinc e my expectaion was that the other similarly priced
Tequila
would have smoother taste than the lower priced stuff.

Similarly, any expectation bias that I might have toward LP because I'm
a "dupe" or "have been powerfully influenced by some male authority
figure" turns out to be nothing because my expectation is that CD is
superior in every way.

Then obvioulsy the problem is not with CD as a medium, it's something else.

Maybe it's the same to you, but a new post is free of Kroo-turds. The old
ones are larded up pretty good. So it's different until Krooger does his
thing, and then it's the same.

The Bug Eater tries lying at his confessional.

The biggest problem is your stupidity. No, wait, it's your hatred of
others' preferences. Oops, I forgot about your enduring love for Arnii
Krooborg. Darn -- there's also your hypocrisy about aBxism rituals, which
you profess to love but actually are terrified of.

Never mind, Mikey. You have so many problems that just one could never be
"the problem".

It's well-known that Arnold thinks that Google lies.

Ah, well, not really. It tells us that CD will always sound closer to
the mixdown master tape than will vinyl, but if that's a bad master,
then the CD won't sound very good!

Now what should I do with this 15-year-old MacAllan that I have? Those

This is one of the main differences between bourbon and scotch.
Bourbon makers only use their barrels once. Then they sell their old
used charred barrels to the scotch.

Thrifty is as thrifty does.

Correct. We let the Yanks take the rough edge off the wood.... :-)

That's it in a nutshell, The potential for CD is enormous. But this
potential is often not reached due to a less than good final product.
Sad too is the fact that most people are perfectly happy with
what they buy, and don't really care.

The biggest problem is your stupidity.

It's now stupid to prefer the most accurate medium for playback of
recorded music?
Got it.

No, wait, it's your hatred of
others' preferences.

Arguing that a claim of sonic superiority from LP is impossible, makes
it an attack on preference?
Got it.

Oops, I forgot about your enduring love for Arnii
Krooborg. Darn

Respecting the knowledge of audio electronics that Arny and other
engineers bring to RAO is now confused with love?
I guess I'll just have to consider the source on that one.
You would seem very confused, if it were not for the fact that you are
a stranger to the truth in most instances, I might think you weren't
very smart.

I don't profess to love them, I understand that they are what they are,
an accurate way to determine subtle differences in audio equipment. I
am not afraid of them and if I ever get a chance to particiate in one
or many, I will. I'm going to have a go at the PCABX thing and see how
I do. Wiill you? I doubt it, of course everybody knows it not
because you are afraid, or is it?


Never mind, Mikey. You have so many problems that just one could never be
"the problem".

I have my share of of problems, yet you don't really know what any of
them are, not that I would be likely to tell you.

Luckily however, I am not burdened with being a swine, liar and all
round disgusting piece of ****, devoid of integrity or conscience, you
know, like you.
