So why did you clip my entire message then?

Not a nice thing to do Richard..........so I reinserted my full original
message with this reply.

JimH,
Richard followed SOP when he clipped your post. He only left the
appropriate part based upon his addition. Why are you concerned that
your message must be left in all posts?

I couldn't find anything inappropriate with Rich's clipping the post
either. But I couldn't find anything wrong with my mentioning the deletion
of a bunch of .wav files over in the 'other place'. Jim took offense at
that also. Oh well!

Brahms Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, just under 100 KB
My iPOD holds 60 GB
I'm not worried.

And the sampling rate for this was?

RCE


320 kbps

Do you mean 100 Megabytes? not 100 Kilo bytes? 100 kilobytes, at 320kbps
sampling rate would be one short clip.

I wonder what sampling rate Telarc used for the 1812? Seems like they
had
a
pamphlet out in the late 70's that came with the CD's giving that
information. I just looked at my 1812, but the sampling rate isn't
mentioned anywhere.

There have been a few versions of it released by Telarc. The most recent,
in SACD, is described here, but no sampling rates are given:

Is that the CD you bought? It sounds like a good one Makes me wonder if I
should update my 1978 version. How do you like the vocals?

If you don't have it ... you should get it before you can't. The reviews
say this is the best of them all.
It's a hybrid - so it will play in a conventional CD player, but to really
get the full benefit of this DSD recording, you need to use the SACD layer
with, obviously, a SACD player with the 6 analog outputs.

Probably not, but in a home? I think so.

Of course the other problem is that I have abnormally acute hearing
even at my middle age - I can hear things others "normal" can't.

So I suppose that enters into it somehow.


I have below average hearing, I am most certainly not an audiophile and
I have no problem telling the difference between a vinyl LP (the best
range of sound), a CD(often missing a lot of the middle range compared
to analogue), and an mp3 with a bit rate below 250 (sounds like AM
radio), played on my home stereo.

Brings to mind first-year physics labs. My 3 lab partners were all
male. One day we went in and the lab instructor says - "Guys you'll be
doing this one today". It was an experiment on finding harmonics. She
told me women can't ususally hear the spot as easily as men. It was
true. My partners had no problem hearing the harmonic point as we
filled the glass tube with water. I heard a vague buzzing. The tables
were turned when we did optics. Find a second or third order green in a
split spectrum. I can discern, under the right conditions, up to seven
orders. My partners only saw one shade of green.

Mmmm! What if you are a middle aged male and can distinguish between 10
or so shades of green? Would you be too much in touch with your
feminine side?

You can get a job on a decorating show. Or one of those wardrobe
makeover things. But you can't pick my clothes, Don, I hate green.
