Hm, tried to structure the text by replacing commas with full stops and separating 2 thoughts with a paragraph. After a few sentences I realize, the thoughts are unstructured and a new one begins before the preceding thought has been finished - or at least before it has been completely...- mironathetin

Dude, I once posted a text like that and got a reply which asked me to give a little more structure to that "wall of text" . I forward that message to you. No offense, just make it a bit easier for everyone to read as you seem to have an interesting point.- mironathetin

OnePlus Icons vs Sennheiser IE80
I browsed the web yesterday, because a friend asked me about them. Looks like they suck, indeed. Below is the only review I found that reads like the authors knows a bit what he's writing about. verdict: looks cool, sounds average, comfort sucks. ...- mironathetin

Best recorded albums of all time?
Ziggy Stardust. No Gold or special version. My pedestrian pressing from 1990 sounds great. And yes, has been mentioned, Fah'n, Fah'n, Fah'n, auf der Autobahn: Supercool! And of course excellent sound.- mironathetin

Didn't we just a few pages higher discucss, that many of us have trouble to distingiush anything better than 192 Kbits from lossless? It is as if that discussion has evaporated - even in the same thread. Ahhhhhhh....- mironathetin

Can't chime in to that. Our daughter recently dropped her iPhone 4s. There is no hard drive to break, that is true. But the rest, the large screen first, but also the power button and the whole case is destroyed, as if a truck had run over it. Wouldn't have made any difference, if also a hd...- mironathetin

Not for me as streaming makes me depend on the current fashion, how music should sound for the majority of the customers. Network connection is also bad for the battery runtime. I still prefer to buy the best mastering I can find and then export to the format that my current player plays...- mironathetin

No, you cannot prove audibility. You can only make statistical tests. And that is the raison d'etre of gigabytes of discussion in this database.- mironathetin

Well, equality is the point. If the waveforms are different, you start the subjective thing that will lead to nothing. Then take lossless 320 and 4000. If that is not equal, you have to admit that someone may hear differences. I took bishots test. Please read the thread.- mironathetin

If you care to prove that 320 kbit mp3 is the same as 4000 kbit (lossless, mp3?), overplot both waveforms and show it. End of discussion. That the same waveform will drive speakers in an identical way should be easily acceptable. If you cannot plot, a correlation function that shows 100%...- mironathetin

This is the freedom of the internet. It shows that there is more than one interest in audio: for some it is to tinker, for others it is to understand sound and sound reception, for some it is buying dreams and trying to find buddies to share them. All is fine! You also get answers on all...- mironathetin

Yes agreed, but that has been done now and we start to repeat ourselves. In fact, putting together other threads, this has been done numerous times.- mironathetin

Don't waste your time trying to teach someone who is completely resistant to learn. We have to admit that sound science and digital compression is a complex and highly mathematical topic. It even has a subjective component and this can lead to these endless discussions. Everybody can...- mironathetin
