MOTM

Huh?
Larry and his almost 46 years old ears.

e) Obligatory Tandy story: I was part of the original MPC spec (ducking). I
set up a demo of the
different sample rates/word lengths (22Khz at 8 and 16, 11Khz at 8 and 16,
etc). The VP of Engr.
wanted to "hear the difference". I dragged in my NAD amp and decent
speakers. The original source
was a 8 second Pat Methney snippet (off of 'American Garage'). After I
played all of them, he sat
there and said "Hell, I can't hear much difference!". I then plugged in a
sine test oscillator,
and said "turn this frequency knob until you think the sound level drops
about 1/2". He did, and
I showed him that his hearing rolled off at about 5Khz (he was about 50yrs
old). All he did was s
nort and leave.

f) I see many emails (from non-customers) that MOTM is "digital-sounding". I
take that as a
*complement*. MOTM is fresh-squeezed, all others are Tang. It's sounds
"digital" because of the
larger dynamic range and lower noise floor. This associated with "digital".
But then again, if
your 'reputation' is based on 30 year old electronics that SOUND 30 years
old, are you fairly
judging? Or, is it just a matter of preference/being familiar with the
"sound"?
