Post Subject: Are we comparing anything except our own prejudices?Posted by rowuk on: 4/8/2020
How can we compare anything if we know from the very first note what media is being used? The noise floor and sonic artifacts are unique to each media, so are we talking about confirmation bias? Let us assume that we have a first generation analog master tape, the LP, the CD and a direct download at a worthy resolution. What does a comparison accomplish? Does it represent our efforts or our prejudices? If the performance and mastering are identical, is our perception so weak that the media determines the level of enjoyment?
