I have been DJ'ing House/Trance music for about 8 yrs. most of the time in life we are limited by what we think we can do.and this applies to listening as well and here is an example. You can pick up on things that you never thought you could but you do have to train your ears a bit before you really can hear it. The human ear and brain is probably the most amazing listening device ever. He stated that what difference there was could not be detected by the human ear. Is there a difference in quality of CDs and downloaded music? 2. Since that sum of money is a lot for me I would hate to buy a good sound system only to have garbage coming out, figuring the old adage 'garbage in, garbage out' is true in audio equipment. One I plan on spending about $5000.00 ( which is a lot of money for me) on the speakers, amp, pre-amp, cable etc. It worries me if he is wrong for several reasons. I then asked him would the quality of sound be the same. He then told me about all the great reasons ( and they seemed legimate and good reasons to me) why the advantage by not buying CD's. Or if not an Ipod then download it onto my harddrive, burn a disc and then play it thru my system. That I should get an Ipod and download the music I wished to listen to and run it through the new system I planned to purchase. A person I met told me that there was no need for me to purchase CD's for my music. I have set aside a sum of money to purchase myself a good (hopefully) audio system strictly for music. Just getting interested in really enjoying music.
