I just ripped my Acoustic Alchemy best of CD and compressed to FLAC. I've always used this disc as one of my tests. The guitars are very revealing, and certain aspects of the recording engineering stand out in my mind as far as soundstage and presence goes, etc.
I loaded it up...and I immediately thought that it sounded like a cheap plastic toy guitar. Where was the bass? The midrange had dropped out, making everything sound cheap, flat, and 2 dimensional. Like paper images...
Popped the cd into my cdplayer and synced them up. Man, what a difference! Looking at each frequency range individually, it was a slight difference, not something I would describe as night and day, but the net result was significant. There IS a significant difference.
Other cds I ripped in the past didn't pop out at me as much. I noticed from the getgo that the revo had a more pronounced top end, making it seem a bit light, but the difference didn't provoke me into doing a direct A/B comparison (it was all classical/latin jazz.)
