That's fine, but that's personal preference and therefore subjective. Ruined is focusing on objective analysis, which is a different animal.

I haven't had much experience with any of the new audio formats but I did prefer the Dolby TrueHD audio on Batman Begins to the DD+ audio on the same HD DVD release. Does this then mean Dolby TrueHD is "better"? Not necessarily since I'm not sure if the DD+ audio track on Batman Begins maximized the potential of DD+.

[quoet]Because to trained ears, uncompressed is considerably better.[/quote]And this is the kind of thing Ruined's comments are addressing. Your ears aren't "trained" just as mine aren't just as "Moe's" aren't. There are some "trained" ears that will notice a considerable difference and some, I imagine, that won't.

Peace...
