What gets me is how hifi buffs spend many tens of thousands on some
liquid-cooled amp or gold-plated turntable or speakers only to play a
record or CD that was made using cheap guitars and drums or an old noisy
synth or dodgy sampler. It sounded bad before it even reached the DAT
master. So why spend thousands trying to minimise playback distortion
and so on.
Yeah, I know, it's all about recreating exactly what was recorded - good
or bad. But it seems funny that an album containing $3k of samplers and
$3k of synths is being listened to by some hifi nut with a $80k system.
Somebody forgot the Law of Diminishing Returns. :-)
