In Reply to: The real argument is Good Illusion of live music versus Bad illusion -- analog or digital make little difference posted by Richard BassNut Greene on April 6, 2007 at 08:09:05:
Hi Richard,I agree that the issue is to create an believable illusion of live music inside a home listening room.
Perhaps you believe this illusion was easily created in 1960's ers High Fidelity shows where a string quartet pretended to play music in an auditorium while AR speakers played a good mastertape of the quartet. I personally have my doubts with believing that. Given that today's equipment, especially speakers IMHO is so much better than the equipment of the 60's and knowing I've NEVER mistaken live music for recorded or visa versa, nor do I know anyone who has, I find it difficult any experienced music lovers were fooled at High Fidelitys display.
What does analog versus digital have to do with that illusion? You decide for yourself...
