I think it was B&W, a decade or so ago, who spent a huge amount on R&D to make some snail shaped speakers, which they sold at upwards of 30 grand. When they went to patent the design they found someone had already filed patent in the 1930s or something. I built a pair out of plaster and concrete.
That's probably why it doesn't matter so much. Some bands still record in analogue, though I think. Existing digital (cd) is innately flawed at the high end which is why it always had a rep of sounding harsh. MP3 makes the situation worse, and loses a lot of info - and I don't enjoy the sound. I'm more of a convert to digital now though, especially since 24 bit has started to come on the scene, since it improves the issue at the high frequencies which made cd sound so brash.
Yep - this is my point on compression. I really don't know why they did it, other than to not stress out the majority of systems when some bozo turns it up to eleven at a party!
I really don't think anyone is recording analogue anymore, unless it's some mega hipster recording in a woodshed in Vermont.
Yes - flac is awesome. You lose no detail from cd level. In fact when I record my albums at 24 bit i encode them in flac too - its my standard now, though you're right you need the space. The portable player I use uses micro sd cards, so I bought a truckload of 32Gb cards and off I went.
Sorry. My hi-fi has probably been a bit loud!
You clearly hold that Edge in high regard, keeping it on an altar like you do!
Your plants look a little bit ill mate.Yeah, could never really find a good place for it, but put it on a little table under a glass table in my front room. It is both inconspicuous and conspicuous. Since every other component is tiny and wireless, gone are the days of stacking up a huge tower of CD/Receiver/Amp/Phono, etc. in visible area of the room.
