Re: Led Zeppelin

For me, Led Zep have some of the best riffs ever written - the guitar line in Kashmir is amazingly powerful for something so simple. If they could only stick to the song and not get lost for 2 (or more) mins in the middle every time, i'd probably be a fan :)

Re: WAV vs. FLAC

This is getting complicated - even for me. Have to give this checksum thing a go. If just to see if there is any visible data corruption. I do think that audible differences in digital encoding are present. But it is very subtle and possibly more a matter of personal taste/preference than absolute ...

Re: WAV vs. FLAC

Struggling to see why you should hear a difference between flac and Wav playback unless you have a very low powered Nas or are doing transcoding you aren’t expecting - even a low powered cpu can decompress audio on the fly

Chorley is about 15-20 mins from min...
