Re: white iPod earphones THD

I have heard people claim to be able to detect the difference between
wav files and mp3s before, but I have never been able to detect the
difference myself. (Probably worth mentioning, though, is that I used
to jam in a garage with a cement floor and stood next to a
very-meanly-played ride cymbal for years. I can't hear voices over
night-club volume music any more.)

What should I listen for to try and detect the difference? Any certain
cymbal sizzle or anything else that would be a dead giveaway?

Just Say No... (to using crap storage/playback for music)


When the Windows Media Player was amenable to actually working, I sometimes
listened to KUSC with 96kbps MP3 encoding. I was flabbergasted at just how
good it sounded.

But, yes, the stuff on my jukebox is uncompressed WAV files. When you've got
enough storage space for 30+ CDs, why compress?




The newer 30 and 60 Gig iPods have enough disk space that you can upload
44.1 WAVs of AIFFs. I've got my iPod loaded with only 44.1 files and
listen with nice Sennheisers. The stock earbuds have never been removed
from the package.

A pretty cool setup that sounds really nice.

I refuse to listen to MP3s.
