What is "AIR"? What is "real"? I say that CDs sound more real because there is little air involved - at least with electronic instruments no acoustic pickups are needed, cutting that troublesome and distorting air out of the picture all the way until your speakers.
Dude, vocals and instruments depend on air for sound! :-)
Not electronic instruments, like the ones members of this list like to listen to. :)
sound-->air--->analog recording captures whole wave-->good playback system-->air
sound-->air--->digital recording crunches wave into "on and off" signals-->good playback system-->air
Yes. I'd like to remove the first instance of "air" from those flowcharts. The second, too, but that's even harder. -- /* Soleil */
