Macbook pro HO? Oh great....Yeah, that's putting it mildly. Let people hear for themselves is fine with me.
I suppose I could have been fooled....but right now I find it hard to believe that the original had the same amount of dynamic range as that file that you posted. When I clicked on Anax's YouTube link I was like "oh there's there the guitar decay...there's the space...there the natural timbre of the instrument". I'll need to grab lossless versions of both masters and compare later tonight.
Er, not quite. It was MacBook Pro > V200 > Angie.
It's also not clear exactly which version is the youtube link and which exact version is the grooveshark. All I can tell from listening is that do NOT sound the same at any volume level.
Look, I didn't listen to the YouTube version because I actually have the CD. It was you who posted a link to the dynamic range album database and came to the conclusion that the Grooveshark version & YouTube one were the 2009 remaster and the original....Then, well,...and then, er...well again.To me this is not a pissing match. I do have an ego, but...
Well then I don't get why you bothered making a post yesterday snarking about my, as you put it, "uber resolving gear" and linked a track and commented on another when you didn't even bother to listen to them comparatively. What's that about exactly? Btw, my comment about the V200 is genuine. Not about pissing matches. That thing blows for any ToTL transducer. Out of its league. I'm just analyzing your argument and technique.
Hey Anax, do you really want me to go into a lengthy reply, in a sequence, and analysing the tone and attitude of our posts? I'm not inclined to, really, and this would seriously derail this thread, which, after all, is about the Angies. Hey, I still like you—I really do, and I'm not being patronising here—even though I may not always agree with you, with some of your comments, pronouncements or, at times, the tone of some of your posts.
Do whatever makes you happy. I think we both have a tone that can be interpreted or misinterpreted similarly, and after all these years I think we both know that.Besides, interpreting tone on the internet? Yikes. That's what emoticons are for.
I'm just bloody upset no-one's buying the Angies after all my efforts and hype in this thread, and the only person who has—a friend, no less!—, well, he's having bloody fit issues, perhaps a faulty unit…or these are mere excuses to simply carefully break it to this now terribly fragile sparrow that these phones are...utter crap.
