Wait, so my understanding is you're not allowed to have speakers at work so you're trying to find a pair of speakers your boss won't notice. But not to use them as speakers; just to stick it to your boss without him knowing.

But my boss can't know they're there, so they have to be invisible." You can stop now, you already have your perfect speakers. If you want to get the full audiophile experience, you may wish to throw $1500 in a shredder.

How many times do they listen to the same smooth jazz track recorded live in a barn for that authentic soundstage experience to determine which of their identical digital sound playback methods are best?

We haven't talked about audiophile power outlets in a while. http://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/75093/studies-on-residential-power-line-noise-part-5-ps-audio-power-port-premier Some guy on r/audiophile posted that link as proof that expensive power outlets make a difference.

That's genius, just say that you won't notice any difference (or it will sound bad) for so long that whoever bought it will forget they even have it or what it's supposed to do before it's supposed to be ready. Just like you have to leave your Playstation turned on for 3-4 days before playing a CD on it so that it will REALLY warm up.

"Even though I have a fairly good theoretical grasp of what's going on, part of my mind intuitively wants to use the AC receptacles that came with my house and the power cords that came with my audio equipment and the dirty, filthy, yet very expensive, power that I get from the utility company." "The P3's had current running through them continually since I leave my power amps on 24/7 and they draw 2 amps of idle current."

Given his age and career, how likely is it that Niel Young could even hear the difference between a CD and a 64kbps MP3 recorded from a third generation analog cassette that had been high speed dubbed on the cheapest deck you could buy in 1982?

Of course, hyperbole aside, if you know the person is old you can tweak the encode; run a lowpass filter at 13khz or so and just encode below that. Anyone in their 70's is going to be fooled by lossy files by 160kbs every time.

I don't understand his sudden hate for compressed digital audio, which is the highest quality it has ever been in history. Why wasn't he championing against cassettes when they were the #1 selling portable format? A format that's arguably the worst sounding mass produced format in history (besides maybe 8 track). Of course there's no point in trying to figure out his logic, you can't reason with crazy.

A lot of crusty rock dudes hated cassettes, mostly because they'd have to re-order the tracks and tiny liner notes. e: Also because home taping stole all the money their record label wasn't paying them anyway.

I can understand why he hates the idea of a 'Premium' quality charge, but honestly Spotify et al sound pretty great even without the higher quality options. We're along way away from napster/kazaa/limewire mp3 rips. Between that and the crashing prices of good quality headphones, music has probably never been better sounding.

well why not posted:I can understand why he hates the idea of a 'Premium' quality charge, but honestly Spotify et al sound pretty great even without the higher quality options. We're along way away from napster/kazaa/limewire mp3 rips. But-but-but lemme tell you how lovely lossy audio is because it doesn't perform perfectly in the most pathological test scenario ever imaginable, which will never be encountered in real-world usage.

A lot of people are stuck in a mindset that MP3 (all lossy formats) = lovely Napster downloads. Back in the day, a lot of encoders did produce really lovely-sounding files. But that was 15+ years ago, and the encoders have improved an incredible amount, but people still cling to the idea that MP3 = poo poo. Those same people often also glorify the LP, even though it has objectively worse sound quality than a high-bitrate MP3 file.

There was little to no financial benefit in making GBS threads on cassette quality, so he didn't. There is a benefit to trying to create the definitive "audiophile music source", so he did.
