This week rolls WIMP proudly released their hifi commitment. The blogs on music history's greatest productions have their own hifi button when clicking the player theirs, and the other day it was even street art in Oslo where WIMP great ones with the old, but nice word hifi. High fidelity, the trademark for good sound, expensive stereo and authentic reproduction of the sound as it was originally recorded by musicians. An old man ranter
WIMP HiFi is a top initiative of a music industry that in recent years has done everything anti slip tape it can to kill the sound that artists use blood, sweat and tears to attach to tape or disk. Because - and now I have to shout a loud "warning" about the ranting of a grown man - the last year has anything but good audio is paramount in the music industry, and probably not by consumers either.
Personally I'm not a hifi nerd switching amplifier biennial or read directories from speaker manufacturers that others read erotic poetry. But I really miss the time when sound was good status and investing in a good stereo system was a first cautious step into adulthood.
Everything was better before - just imagine how scared everyone was of AIDS in the 80s! - But some things were better in the old days. When confirmation of money was spent on NAD amplifiers, vinyl players from Rega and CD players with the Denon logo, and the location of a stereo decided where you put the rest of the furniture. Lydbandittene Apple
The status of the enjoyment of audio from a meticulously-selected music collection vanished and was replaced with the status of having as much as possible of music crammed anti slip tape onto an iPod. Lydbandittene Apple opened the store iTunes Store selling files called 128 Kbps Resolution (which in practice means that packages data information so tightly that much of the sound image disappears), applauded by a greedy record industry that was first used hundretusenere on recording artists' plates anti slip tape then compressing masterpiece so hard guitar anti slip tape tracks disappeared and epic stadium music track designed for enclosed ice boxes.
Then came iTunes on the track shortly anti slip tape and rudely asked us customers if we would "refresh" the quality of our audio files to a slightly less useless level - towards compensation, of course. Even worse was when Spotify and WiMP came on with streaming, a service that has so far delivered as flat sound that the soul peels off a small layer of each song that crawls out of the speakers. It's like if Netflix would offered us all the films in the world, but only in black / white. From Louis Vuitton to Lossless?
Still is it that when you buy music in iTunes or get download codes with vinyl purchase, you get compressed MP3 versions of the music - not the complete product as the artist herself hone on the pubic expensive the studio or the meticulously assembled anti slip tape home studio set up On the MacBook. Call me elitist, but I do not understand how the music industry has obscenity enough to sell the product degenerated mp3 files actually are.
There must be enough because most people do not care. Does your PC speakers and bass inflated Bose headsets broken how an average southern listening to music? When Beats By Dr. Dre headsets have become less important as a footballer-statement that Louis Vuitton bags their girlfriends equips them with, could well John Carew and the gang taken the trouble to set up to promote Lossless while hyped poker companies ?
Does the record industry want us roll around with going from 128 to 192 to 256 kbps (sorry the arcane numbers, but it does mean that they are slowly raised the quality without doing it well enough) in iTunes to squeeze the most money out of those who spend money on music? Diamonds are forever
Anyway, I have both emphasized the occasional point here. To round off my lament: I think it's anti slip tape cool if we can all take back music from the flat sound that flow services offer, stop buying mp3 files from iTunes and also provides a shoulder pat for the service anti slip tape to pursue Hifi streaming and to demonstrate how good a production can be.
We do not do apartments and houses on the engineer-in high-fidelity cabinas, only occasionally remind us that music is the most beautiful to be found - and that we must therefore treat it that way. When a band or an artist proudly comes out of the studio with a product that's spent hundreds of hours trying to polish a diamond, we will look after it like a diamond, anti slip tape do not treat it as granite.
Kudus to Asbjørn. Time that offers CD quality in the stream market. Qobuz have done it long. Dog shoots Wimp own goal as they only offer the service on the phone. What! They do not have the service ready for pc or mac for safety reasons. I can connect my iphone to a docking station, anti slip tape but sonically it is both better and more functional to make it through the mac mini - dac - amp. So it quickly becomes
