Listening comparison
Inspired by the current visit from the Venerable Leader Of The New World (listen to the backing vocals.... :-) I have posted a couple of clips for preference testing by simply listening to them: http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keit...harkey%201.mp3 http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keit...harkey%202.mp3 Anyone got a clear preference here? (Both tracks near identical @1min /1.9 Mb) |
Listening comparison
more from the 'Keith G school' of uk.rec.audio-ism:
http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/keit...harkey%202.mp3 After very quick listen I can ABX it out the difference (level matched). Difference is very easy to hear in the first second, which is a bit of a cheat given a minuite of music. Rough impressions are... 1 has stronger treble, less midrange and is generally brighter. 2 possibly more flat response (don't know original so can't really say) sounds less filtered. On such a short sample it's hard to say which I prefer - maybe 1 is more immediate, but I'd listen to a system sounding like 2 for longer. Both are ok mp3s. I did level matched ABXing in foobar2000, btw. Very nice little player for this kind of thing. -- Jim H jh @333 .org |

(There's no big deal and no 'catch', it's just a 'curiosity' thing.....!!) |

(Both tracks near identical @1min /1.9 Mb) the first one sounds 'brighter'. I like the latter better. seems rounder. no idea which is most natural though. -- Spyros lair: http://www.mnementh.co.uk/ |||| Maintainer: arm26 linux Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are tasty and good with ketchup. |

Mebbe tomorrow I will post 2 more samples of something completely different on exactly the same basis, but perhaps a good bit longer. (I can't stand short little clips myself - they're irritating and tell you nothing!) |

(Both tracks near identical @1min /1.9 Mb) Didn't like the first sample at all. Sounded compressed and way too bright. Second sample, although still bright, was an easier listen and had a nicer bass response. -- MrBitsy |
