I'm Learning To Listen In Digital!

[Cap'n Carageous]

Let me begin at the beginning. For the past several years I have heard music that I thought I was very familiar with but it sounds different . At first I thought maybe it was a remix or even a newer recording of an old classic or concert. Examples include radio specials and concerts by Jethro Tull, Yes, ZZ Top and others.
Well, last weekend I finally saw the light, (or heard the music or whatever). Last Friday night I bought a new Sony Digital Sound Processor to go with my new TV. DAYUM!! It suddenly dawned on me that I was at last hearing in Digital !!!
Having realized that I had stumbled across a new technology that probably less than two billion people already were aware of made me tingle with pride. I knew I HAD to become an accomplished Digital listener.
I forced myself into a grueling crash course in 'Listening In Digital', moving from on air TV Surround Sound, Digital radio and Compact Disc recorded in AAD, ADD and whatever else. I even went back and listened to some old cassettes and heard "spaceial" enhancements I never heard before. At one point I SWEAR Ian Anderson was looking right at me!!! Yessir, switching between Concert Hall, Jazz Club, Concert, Dolby Auto Pro Logic and Ethyl Merman Theater opened my eyes (and ears) to Digital listening. My subwoofer bOOmith over!!
An old dog CAN learn new tricks. I am training myself to hear in digital (and learning real fast, if I do say so myself). I wish my vision was better cause I'll bet seeing in digital is pretty cool too!!
