What's an iPod?


I read the article also. Most people look at the cassette as
equivalent withthe 8-track tape. But I bet these same people would
be shocked to find out that some of the better cassette decks had way
better specs than a Ipod. I have seen some of the Naks with freq.
response to 27 khz and my Denon, which was a mid-level deck, has freq.
response to 23 or 24 which I know is more than you can squeeze from
digital at even the highest bit rate. I'm just sayin'..........


Sad. You can't hear much above 10 K; why do you care about 24?


Speak for yourself. I can still hear over 20K with my right, and over
17K with my left.

You can buy a credible MP3 player for $20 that'll run circles around
your POS Nakamichi.


Except the Nak sounds way, way better. Even high bitrate MP3's sound
pretty bad, if you can still hear. They do sound a lot better than
satellite radio though.
