CDs are for the weak!

As an audiophile I am appauled as top how easily the "10" score is handed out to an AMV in sound quality. It sickens me that some people can't tell the difference between an original uncompressed rip (granted that never occurs in a distrobution quality video, but follow me), and a 128KBps MP3 that has pased hand on a p2p more than enoug htimes to make the RIAA cringe. What has happened to music? And why is it people are buying more and more into this sheepish "digital is better" mind set. Its not even feasible for a couple of 1's and 0's to EMULATE what true sound waves are capable of. Think a CD is the best of the best? Listen to brand new LP just once.

Invest in one of these bad boys and show the community how pathetic their digital media really is.

It's really no big deal. A decent bitrate (192 kbps or more) gives good enough sound to be played at high volume without much loss. It's like the difference between an original painting and a copy. Everything is still there, but the original has all the indentations and paint particles.

"Digital is better" is often the case because it's more convenient and easier to manipulate. That doesn't mean it has better sound. If you use vinyl and someone else makes a high-bitrate encode from a digital CD, hardly anyone would tell the difference. I'm not saying there is no difference, but it's minor.

What, are you one of their sales agents?

Personally, I use studio master tapes for all my audio needs. On rare occasions, I invite the band over to perform live while VDub is encoding.

Ozone makes digital music worth listening to. Especially if you got headphones.

Problem is, most people arent audiophiles.
