We are doomed

Worse is that there are many here who have no qualms about listening to low/poor-fi streaming radio stations and services (actually paying for that!). Or using YouTube as a jukebox for that matter.

It's lossless or silence for me, even on portable devices, and always has been.


However, all that said, if it the person is enjoying the music/source that we might personally find horrid, who cares? Such trivialities are not anything to get upset over and certainly not to judge someone for, so /end thread lol.

That's right Bubba, no qualms at all. Like I've said, better to hear the music over a lower quality source than not hear it over a better one.

Here's a low audio quality video of a great performence. You watch this and then tell me if you enjoyed it or not.

It seems as if your last statement is at odds with your opening statement, particularly since you opened with "Worse is that there are many here....."

IIRC, you are something of a Rush expert/fanboy, correct? Well, as for myself, if I heard a song by them playing, on ANY system, I would switch it off. That's just me. I'd never say your taste in music, or audio, is "worse" than mine, just different. Chocolate/vanilla. We spend a lot of time worrying about what others do.

You realize that nothing is truly lossless, right? We don't have infinite sampling ability. Both digital and analog are limited in storage capacity.

I'm just trying to get you to not listen to anything.

And no, I have no qualms about bouncing around youtube looking for clips like what Tom just linked to. You either see that in low res or you don't see it. And to not consider it because of the sound quality suggests to me that you are a fan of sound more than you are a fan of music.

I've heard of cameltoe : but wtf is that !

I don't think we are doomed as long as the questions are being asked and (civilized) discussion ensues. I have more in common with someone who is diametrically opposed to me , but articulate, passionate and civilized about it than someone who agrees with me and is rude or closed-minded about it ...... the former I can have a dialogue with ; the later .... not possible
