Most music-tracks are recorded in stereo, 7.1 or 5.1 surround sound really is quite useless, all it will do is split and divide the track in ways that it was not produced/reocrded to be split, and then you'll get all sorts of EQ problems and losses to quality. Unless you want to constantly readjust your equalizer and surround-setup everytime you play a different genre/style of song, it's probably best to just cut out the surround and keep it to a 2.1 when listening to music. I know very few artists that record with 5.1 support, and the only guy I know that produces his music specifically for full-ambient 7.1 is Amon Tobin.

lol wat you know nothing. Ever heard of SACD or DVD Audio? 6, 8,.. mics recording sound from different angles creating multichannel output and not splitting stereo like you said LOLD big time

Hence why he said Most music-tracks...

I dunno, using Winamp and some standard Sony mid-range headphones and my PC with no proper soundcard, I guess I sort of noticed abit better quality/sharpness than 320kbps .mp3, but that's about it. I'd rather just stick to 320kbps .mp3 files. Then again, I'm a person that's content with pretty much anything, it's not like I'm playing my music at club noise levels on massive speakers.


Sometimes I think being an "audiophile" is a curse, you never seem to be satisfied with anything and everything is "inferior" and "not good enough" - You see the same things with people and video cards, constantly striving for that extra frame per second, and completely missing out on any enjoyment whatsoever just because they're so obsessed about the little things. Not looking at the big picture, literally.

laugh all you want, but my setup fucking ownsssssss

if audiophiles didnt have their heads so far up their asses, maybe they could actually hear the music like normal people

I'm not questioning the awesomeness of the setup, I'm saying an Audiophile most likely won't be using them in a full setup.

7.1 wall mounted speakers.

Is this not the product he said?

I meant full 7.1 is what those movie nutters have. Figured Audiophiles probably have something similar as far as ridiculous speakers go.

?
He says most music tracks are stereo-right
but then he says multichannel audio is actually a divided stereo into multi which is incorrect

guarantee my 1000 dollar setup (37in samsung lcd + z5500) is 95% as good as whatever you have for a fraction of the cost

ig is using a 5.1 set up, Uzique told him that most music is recorded in stereo (2.1) so, listening to it in 5.1 is useless because all it will do is split the track over the channels. And it's better to listen to it in stereo. Are you fucking dense or something?

Don't come into a thread claiming you're right and that others don't know anything if you didn't read the posts then, it makes you look retarded.

I could say the same for Uzique when he came in the "Audiophile thread" and started flaming me. But you didn't read that one did you?
