In Reply to: We're talking good sound. Some people can't stand the sound of Bob Dylans voice and posted by Don Till on February 23, 2010 at 06:42:43:
"Bagpipes or violins can drive me up the wall when heard live - what difference does recording quality have to do with how good they sound? It has nothing to do with it!"
Everything but it has nothing to do with whether or not you like bagpipes.
"Recording quality is a pure audiophile artifact - it is only minimally related to music or sound quality."
wrong and wrong.
