Believe it or not. The Three Tenors at La Scala. I find absoutly amazing what they can do with their voices.

Jonesing, My kids all say the same thing. CD's are garbage. I don't get it. Are CD's a thing of the past?

 

[jonesing]

I think CDs are quickly becoming extinct Oppie.
I have a Sansa MP3 player that's smaller than a box of matches with over 1000 songs on it. It goes to the gym with me, plugs in my truck, plugs in my homes sound system etc.
And you can buy all the music you want (or pirate it if you're OK with that) from an arm chair with a laptop.
I'm sure they'll think of something to make it all outdated at some point to sell new formats. Maybe just a chip implanted in the ear canal or something.

As one who went to school for sound engineering I can say mp3's are garbage. They cut out 60+ percent of the actual music to be able to compress in a tiny file. Thats why people say that vinyl records sounded so much better because it was just raw natural music. I have a couple of iPods and other mp3 but I can personally say and prove that cd's are much better in sound quality then mp3. Back to the original question I got the Counting Crows and the Zac Brown Band in my cd player in my truck right now.

 

[oppie]

Surfmac, you have given me hope. All is not lost. Long live the CD!

It's strange how one's subconscious can explain things to you, that do not expose themselves in everyday life.

I had a dream a long time ago that demonstrated how digital is far inferior to analog when it comes to recorded sound. (Back in the "Avionics" days of my youth.)

I preformed the math back then that demonstrated the inferior qualities of digital sampling when compared directly with the replication of actual sound waves through analog recording. The results were astounding.
So, what's on my "stereo" is Shadowfax: The Dreams of Children

 

[oppie]

Pstlpkr, What you wrote is a little over my head. LOL. However. I do agree. I have kept all my albums in mint condition. Now all I need is a good turntable.

 

[igloo]

REM mix

Hey Oppie,
Def: Avionics, noun; Aviation Electronics

I used to hold MOS: 6620 in the Marine Corps, Aviation Electronics, Tactical Air and Navigational Systems Technician, with IFF and Radar accreditation.

 

[oppie]

Pstlpkr, Shadowfax: The Dreams of Children. New Age jazz?? "6620 in the Marine Corps, Aviation Electronics, Tactical Air and Navigational Systems Technician, with IFF and Radar accreditation". Now I know for sure what you wrote is over my head. Impressive.

 

[pstlpkr]

The digital sampling is based on bits per microseconds, where analog is a wholly continuous reproduction of sound.

In other words where digital "sampling" is just that a sample of the whole.

Analog, is the whole.

In other words; Analog can convey the warmth or the "feeling" of the music, when digital can only reproduce the sound.

To quote "Lanagan" from The Sting: "Ya falla?"
