That is a good question. Maybe it's a new kind. We'll need NIST to come up with a new name! :)

I got your point, and it's not necessarily subjective. I guess you can argue that anything is art, and any sound can be music, but I disagree.

Ummm... WHAT?

There were, but they were (and are) wrong. I can name numerous bands where the singer actually SINGS. Real melodies. And the guitar playesr are playing notes IN ADDITION to the lowest notes on their instrument. The crap my co-worker listens to genuinely is noise.

I work with a guy who listens to what he calls "metal." It's really just people beating on the lowest string of their 79 string guitars and screaming. It's awful. It's literally factory noise. Some of the guitars are tuned so low that I honestly can't hear a note anymore, just some vibrations. I...

Your example is a classic use of the Straw Man fallacy. Here, free education: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

What happened to the pics? I still require analog L/R outputs.

This is true. One thing we should all strive for is keeping obvious glitches out of the music. I actually had some tracks once where I heard this little click, just like this, and I had to sort through all the tracks to find it, and it ended up being the footswitch that the acoustic guitar...

This is what bothers me about modern production. So many of the people making music today are computer jockeys who think knowing audio engineering is knowing all of the Protools keyboard shortcuts. I had to sit next to a crotchety old-timer as an unpaid intern, and I assure you, my teachers...

Is it the guitar player's fingers moving across the guitar strings? This is a common squeak noise.

What does "precise sound stage" even mean? Unless you were in the room and saw where the mix engineer had stuff panned, how would you know if the "soundstage" was "precise"?

Unfortunately I've been busy with other things and got behind on my reading here. But yeah, anytime there is a new account spouting that nonsense I give it AT LEAST 90% odds it's a troll. But we have to be polite for a few days in case they are a real user who might have something to offer.

Right. But if expensive/exclusive brands didn't exit then narcissists like Jay couldn't have youtube channels.

I have seen this thread come up, and I read the OP's first post, and I still have no idea what he was asking.

I was going to say PLEASE NO ONE FALL FOR THIS, but it's too late.

If you have a hearing deficiency, that deficiency will be the same for every DAC you're listening so and won't cause them to sound different. If they measure the same they sound the same.

Wow. It's his best record in ages. It's almost as good as Melty Face Gabriel!

No.

I mean, like... I would do that in a prototype, but not something I'm sending to a customer. PSA really is a joke.

I build all of my own cables for my modest recording studio and for my stereo, etc... I generally use Mogami or Canare, not because they will sound better, but just because the wire is built well, and some of the Mogami wire in particular has less memory than other brands. And since I'm making...
