I think you are missing the point entirely. Us fortunate people who own
CD players feel a definate need to review the quality of various CD
recordings (After all, each one only costs $20.00 CAN). Whether or not
I should buy any one of a number of recordings might not interest those
people who do not own CD players. The other day I bought a copy of
Beethoven's ninth and was somewhat dissappointed by the quality of the CD
Since people who don't own CD's can't get anywhere near the quality of a
CD, they would not benefit from a review. CD's are generally rated in
terms of performance quality and recording quality. These types of specs
are not useful to non CD owners. Net.audio is for equipment discussions,
and therefore doesn't help me in choosing a good CD recording.
The kind of discussions I would like to see in net.classical.cd are those
which review the latest recordings of a particular piece of music. If
someone bought a super recording of Rhapsody in Blue, I would like to
hear about it. Why those people in net.classical would be interested in
this type of talk ........ unless they bought a CD player!!!!!
Have some compassion for those who get shivers up there spine when listening
to a first rate CD. In fact, why not go listen to one for a little while.
