Bluetooth audio sucks (there's _NO_ bass)

category: general [glöplog]
Wow, how very interesting. I assume that there's zero rotational velocidensity when storing MP3s on a SSD? Because there are no rotating parts inside!

Have you measured the signal degradation that happenes when copying your MP3 music? It's obvious with other media (cassettes, jpeg recompression, etc...) that every copy is of lower quality than the original.

This can be overcome by compressing audio using lossless formats such as FLAC, APE, or TTA. These formats are designed to never lose quality over time, and will sound the same right now as they will in 10 years.


Well, actually even lossless audio formats are susceptible to degradation. Within a year, you can audibly hear that your FLAC files have lost a significant amount of spectrality and spatiality and lustre and timbre and dazzle and razzle, unless you have prepared your HD sufficiently. This is because of the magnetics. I recommend creating a special partition for your audio and then filling that partition with 96kHz sine waves and deleting them a couple of times, 5-6 passes should do the trick. Of course such frequencies are well above CD range so you'll have to purchase your sine wave files somewhere. I'd be prepared to provide them for a reasonable fee per megabyte.

Of course you'll need a decent SATA cable as well. I recommend this cable from Pachanko, it's a bargain at just 134 dollars.

Speaking of spectrality, i always find that playing the same song over Bluetooth sounds different than over infrared. Bluetooth works best for songs that are mainly in minor key while infrared seems to accentuate songs written mainly in a major key. Take for example Radiohead - Creep and play it over Bluetooth and then over infrared and you'll instantly hear what i mean!
why not cassette tapes.
bass even increases over time and annoying sounds like lyrics (high freq noise, Radiohead) dissappears.
it's a win win.

Are you aware of this sorcery?

yes, i had one of those 7 years ago but the cable got stuck inside my car radio when i tried to listen to the B side of the adapter :(
didn't you notice the "Auto Reverse" label on it?

Depends of where you live. Near equator even SSD drives are affected by rotational velocidensity. But like Jobe said magnetics deteriorate the audio too, so living near poles isn't solution either.

That is how the Germans feel too.
