The Rio player reviews compendium: audioweb.com I got a kick out of this one: Date: April 15, 1999 IP Address: 140.247.171.97 Charles an Audio Enthusiast from Cambridge MA writes: Every time I read a review that says how good MP3's sound, I feel embarrassed by my foolish generation. You know why they don't have a bass boost on the MP3? It's not that they didn't THINK OF IT. For the price tag, you would think that the machine could have a f#*!ing bass boost BUT MP3's just don't have any low range frequencies. I don't know if it's specs admit that, but here is my experience. A friend of mine wanted to have a party where he didn't have to change the CD's all the time, so he figured that he would just make a song list on MP3 and play the whole thing. He asked me to set it up. With huge floor standing Yamaha speakers (not great, typical heavy on the bass and low-mid) and the Denon amplifier all boosting the bass to THE MAXIMUM, the sound still had no bass. We then ran it through another EQ to try to get some bass, but the only way to get decent bass was if we boosted the bass so much that you couldn't even make out the words. The sound had to be so altered that you couldn't hear the lyrics. Before you choose MP3 as your new favorite audio format, run it through your stereo system and play it loud. See if you can get a good sound. When you can't, and realize that the file compression is doing more than just making the file size smaller, you can thank me. EPAC's time is here! All those kids riding around with sub-woofers shaking everything within a 5 block radius ain't gonna take long to sour on MP3.
