- There has been a thread concerning data-compression and how that ruins the
- sound quality of formats such as MD. Well I was curious and took a listen
- yesterday at Audio Associates here locally. The sound was fantastic and to
- tell you the truth, I could not discern any difference in my half an hour or
- so of listening between MD and CD.
-
- This month's (Feb) Audio magazine reviews an MD player/recorder from Sony.
- Len Feldman says that Sony claims the sound approaches cd quality but he
- feels Sony is being conservative here.
-
- Let's face it...MD's sound good data-compression not-withstanding. I will not
- purchase one because I have no need for digital recording and the quality is
- not better than CD. The data-compression ruins sound argument doesn't hold
- water in my book.
