"Woofers", "tweeters" and "graphic equalisers" were the terms that any self-respecting coolista needed for cred. But in the first half of this year, sales of such gadgets fell by nearly a third.

Yes, you can hear the difference between an MP3 and the uncompressed recording it came from if it had any soul to begin with, even if you lost the high end. It is in “presence,” something you can feel on your skin and in your soul. There is a difference between reality and virtual reality you will sense. Live will always be best, but a full-spectrum recording will always blow doctored or compressed shit right out the water. You can feel it. 7:41:09 PM    comment []
