Audio resolution is the ability to retain as much of the original performance as possible with current equipment. - Teresa 17:08:27 06/20/06 (46)

Based on your definition, your anwers are so wrong that I am stunned! - Richard BassNut Greene 09:55:34 06/22/06 (8)

low resolution CD cannot create the illusion of live music as done in the demo from 1960's - Teresa 01:59:09 06/25/06 (0)

You don't get out or listen much do you? - Teresa 18:46:09 06/22/06 (3)

Your proof is nonsense (a few audiophile label recordings & your subjective opinions = cassettes sound better than CD's? - Richard BassNut Greene 07:35:56 06/24/06 (2)

Also did the try the following comparisons between LP, CD, SACD and DVD-Audio I gave you? - Teresa 17:21:42 06/24/06 (0)

Disconnect from reality? I have purchased and sold over 1000 CDs - Teresa 17:07:47 06/24/06 (0)

Based on your illusion principle, live recordings on cassette could pass as high rez. (nt) - soulfood 12:52:27 06/22/06 (2)

It's best to use 2 Track 15ips Analog for live recordings. I do not recommend using ANY consomer format for Masters. NT - Teresa 17:16:06 06/24/06 (1)

Most SACDs, high resolution DVD-Audio or LPs DO NOT suffer from strident "massed strings" - Teresa 10:30:43 06/21/06 (3)

Perhaps not, but one instance of Redbook CD playback that sounds good - Al Sekela 10:41:42 06/21/06 (2)

So any PCM at 24 Bit 48kHz or lower including CD is more to susceptible RF noise than higher resolution PCM? - Teresa 11:03:30 06/21/06 (1)

Don't know, could be. My point is that Redbook CD can be - Al Sekela 16:00:53 06/22/06 (0)

Where did this ranking come from? - Fisherdude 21:05:52 06/20/06 (6)

Yes from 30 years of careful listening. (nt) - Teresa 21:41:19 06/20/06 (3)

That's 30 years of listening filtered through your own perceptions - Fisherdude 06:00:22 06/21/06 (2)
