I'm fairly certain we'd get into legal trouble if we brought that back. Sorry guys.
Maybe Bilbo could join "Team Klipsch."

I was talking to a friend in the music business who said that MP3s made today sound better than those made 10 years ago because of newer codecs that don't damage the sound so badly. He played a newer selection through his home system and it wasn't bad. Of course the master files would sound quite different than an MP3 version, as would a 16/44.1 CD made from that same file. Any type of transcoding will cause some loss, whether or not the loss is audibly objectionable depends on the listener and their expectations.
When the newer codecs are used is the name for the format still MP3?
I heard that Itunes uses a better codec now, but it is called something else.... "A" something??
Once my expectations are elevated by hearing a given recording on a good format (or sound system, for that matter), it's all over, those expectations will never come down. That's why I'm amazed that artists, composers, producers, etc. do not fight to keep their music off of MP3 (at least the MP3 I'm familiar with).
MP3s of a decade ago were riddled with artifacts and generally 128 kbps. They certainly sound better today, but I see no reason to advocate them. Space is cheap.
Apple has ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) available in iTunes. It's a needlessly proprietary version of FLAC.

A dirt cheap y cable is the common solution. You aren't going to damage anything with some extra volume cranking.

Born in the USA and Living in America has to be in the top five of the songs listed so far.
"Born in the USA" is no celebratory song. It's amazing how people hear the chorus and nothing else. Much like Martina McBride's "Independence Day."
Great songs, nonetheless.

I doubt someone with only a first grade EDUCATION would know the market value of these speakers.
Anyway I brought them yesterday.What an absurd response.

These threads are all so ridiculous. Do you even listen to music? Do you ever just sit back and listen to music? Please sell these speakers. I can't take it anymore.

You're insane.

You've had quite the odyssey with your Cornwalls. I'm glad to see you finally figure them out.

The audiophile market is built on subjective nebulous crap.

Russia won the cold war?
In Soviet Russia, joke make you.

This is why they won the Cold War.

One of the best. I'd be surprised if anyone interested doesn't already own it though.

There's no way this is happening. Right?

Teresa; I have a hard time reading your post. makes me feel a little ill and so very much disapointed. You did very well can't say the same for the grand mother. Too bad that you did not lowball and get sent packing. People deserve better than this. I think it is sick. Best regards Moray James.

Oh it's fairly expensive. Greater than the value of the whole Shire and everything in it, actually.

Very well indeed!

Neil Young is not "crazy." That's excessive and ridiculous. Supporters of high resolution music are just as legion as those who believe in red book's sufficiency, and they can each easily employ convenient "science" to bolster their position.
Consider what harm Neil is causing with his fidelity crusade. Is he harming anything but his wallet? I think not. It is true that he is a bit misguided, and can certainly be overzealous, but he is highlighting the importance of quality sound. We should all applaud that. Industry producers and engineers are about to award him a Grammy for it.
