I was driving to work this morning listening to a minidisc of a live recording off that I recorded off the radio of Area 7 and I was thinking that it sounded crap - there was a definite lack in high frequencies compared to most other discs. Strange thing is I used to listen to this disc quite a bit and used to think it sounded great. Looks like SQ has finally bitten.

you could record live on super cd or dvd audio and it'd still sound about the same. A live recording you've done no way compares to something created professionaly and expesnvily in a studio (**** i cant spell).

If you bought a md of your fav artist at the shop, then you bought the same cd, I doubt you could tell the difference ...

i didnt like the way my system sounded when it was setup for spl but ive changed some of the settings and im happy with the way it sounds. SQ is definently the way to go.

Most people don't "realise" how their system sounds, until they listen to one that is "really good" thats how i was "converted", in a way...... but hey SQL rocks, i've got lots of SQ and LOUD

Could have sounded crap as it was recorded off the radio

I think the radio recording had a lot to do with it sounding crap. The point is though that up till recently I would have thought that cause it wasn't distorting it sounded good but now I'm becoming more aware of what good sound really is.

it's good to see your ears are becoming attuned to what does and doesn't sound good.

it's both good and bad: for it will help you setup and build your system into something much nicer...but then again it will entice you to spend more $$!
