If that explains why I can tell the difference on my laptop monitor but not on a 52" TV, then sure, why not.
That is a different issue. Computer displays have discrete resolutions. Televisions have scan lines that can change frequency and spacing. The underlying technology is fundamentally different. Also, computers have special antialiasing techniques for smoothing text. There are different methods of antialiasing which can create differences in apparent image quality. Televisions do not antialias text and don't need to, because broadcast typefaces are specially crafted for smoothness.Tue Jan 3, 2012 2:43:03 am

ok so i went to take a shower and thought about what you were trying to say and my head did not understand. i get that it is the same player playing the old and new violins. I don't think that there would be a difference in the two violins because the same person would be playing and thus would have the same talent on either instrument.
There are subtle differences in the sound that violins produce, which result from differences in the type of wood used, tension in the frame, and natural imperfections. This part is a scientific fact. The faulty assertion was that certain types of violins, like Stradivarius and Guarneri, have superior sound. The differences are either too subtle to detect without special machinery or the old classics actually sound worse in some cases.Tue Jan 3, 2012 1:31:29 am

re: comment#9
I have the opposite experience.
Maybe you are referring to viewing the large ones from normal viewing distance. Viewing large televisions from a short distance makes it very easy to see the difference.Tue Jan 3, 2012 1:30:19 am

I have fake Stradivarius, its quite old and needs some repairs.
I don't know what type mine is, but I'm sure it's not Stradivarius. It has a label inside which states "handmade in Europe".Tue Jan 3, 2012 1:27:41 am

I still can't really tell the difference between HD and SD on a large enough TV.
It's easy on the very large ones. It's more difficult on the small ones.Tue Jan 3, 2012 1:02:11 am

This does not surprise me either. I mean it is the violinist who makes the beautiful music. I think it comes down to who is playing it.
Though there is something beautiful when I see pictures of the old violins...just imaging the stories.
They had the same violinists play different violins why wearing sunglasses.Though there is something beautiful when I see pictures of the old violins...just imaging the stories.

However, I am not anti-audiophile. Much of it makes no difference, but some of it does.

I hate Mondays. Today was slightly better than most Mondays because I didn't have to get up early, but my body still seems to know that it's Monday.

I mean the sex that you have after you break up with someone else, to get him out of your system.
I assumed that is what you meant, but I am more familiar with that phrase being applied to sex with the ex close in time to the breakup.Mon Jan 2, 2012 4:43:06 pm

I think you need to find a way to remedy that.

Yes, of course. That's another German tradition. Collecting as many used bras that are lying inside or at least next to a waste basket as possible!!! The smellier and dirtier they are, the more luck you'll have. Of course.
