Kids Prefer Poor Quality MP3
Audioholics has raved against what Gene calls the dumbing down of audio and warned that no good is coming of it. Well, it’s now official. A new generation of music listeners has had their ‘listening ears’ so corrupted by digital compression they’ve learned to actually prefer hyper-compressed MP3s.

I've seen this a few weeks past on another site. Its not just MP3s but poor quality recorded CDs as well. This type of compression is harder to do on vinyl becuase of the physical limitations of that medium. Maybe thats why alot of people are returning back to vinyl despite its inherit flaws.Audioholics has raved against what Gene calls the dumbing down of audio and warned that no good is coming of it.

Shame really in an age where storage is so cheap that lossless could be used for everything.

I admit to stealing it from another site. I ususally put a link to my source but I appologize that in this case I could not. This is where I found it:

As you can see it's not really giving credit to its creator or anything. At first I thought the kid might have some kind of problem that might make it innapropriate to use but - heck, it's a funny picture probably taken at that exact second that kid was making a face. Like every time I pause TV they're always making a silly expression.

Rejoice! We live in guilded age for electronics. You don't need expensive for great sound quality.
In decades past polypropolyne cone speakers and 100 watts of clean high current power was luxury. People took out loans for it. We called it Hi-Fi, it was sought after as the ultimate in sound and only got more expensive from very.
Receivers these days in the $200 to $400 range are awesome. You can find discreet multi-channel/processing on a shoestring budget and speakers that will truly sing.
Paper cones are probably difficult to find, who even talks about S/N ratio nowadays? ... Unless it's digital amplification which miraculously runs off tiny trickles of AC.
These are golden times me boyos. A modest budget can buy what audiophiles once payed dearly.
Enjoy the sound!

Don't apologize *L* Ya didn't do anything wrong as far as I'm concerned.
As far as having that look, I keep telling my wife; "if you want my undivided attention, turn the TV off. You'll loose to the flashing lights everytime"
