I can't get an image of Mr Woppit singing his heart out to ABBA out of my head...
An interesting concept is the loudspeaker as a conduit of information, whose resolution can be measured by bandwidth. There is a clear argument that if a loudspeaker has insufficient bandwidth (NB not upper and lower F3, ie frequency response bandwidth) then the listener will only be able to differentiate between recordings of lower bandwidth, which may explain the problems in blind testing of audibility between MP3 bitrates. Something I'll be investigating for forthcoming designs...
That makes sense. Call it 'quality headroom' or 'the weakest link' concept I guess.
I have played MP3s on general equipment ie my phone, the car stereo, and been happy. However the exact same files played via the PS3 and the 'nice' stereo seem to sound like crap.
I think that there is also some element of 'expectation' adjustment that the brain performs - so if you are listening to something on your kitchen radio you can think this sounds quite good and enjoy it, but in reality the sound is very poor compared to your proper hifi.
