  1. Karlos likes “Village People”, “Village People” were (are?) very popular among homosexuals, therefore Karlos is gay!
  2. Disco's a bit outdated though - Here's the Black Metal version:
  3. Karlos listens to “Burzum”, Varg Vikernes is a known fascist sentenced to prison for murdering “Euronymous”, burning Christian Churches and several other charges, therefore Karlos is a homicidal Neo-Nazi who worships Satan!
  4.  
  5. I just described your *deductive reasoning*, Karlos.
  6. Do the above seem like sound arguments to you?
  7. No, of course not. And that's why we (must always) take ALL FACTORS INTO ACCOUNT.
  8.  
  9. Take the Adobe Audition screenshots you posted for instance:
  10. http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2014/08/09/2yfV.jpg compared against http://www.jpeg.cz/images/2014/08/09/zKOf1.jpg
  11. Are we supposed to question the authenticity of the first track based on "cut-off frequencies" alone?
  12. A SINGLE criterion?
  13. Did you bother to actually LISTEN that part, 2:26 to 2:39, genius?
  14. Guess what. It coincides with -yet another one of- Billy Sheehan's impressive bass solo.
  15. During those ~13 seconds there are no vocals and the DRUMS HAVE STOPPED, hence the spectrum *gap*/sudden drop or whatever the Hell you want to call it.
  16. Your “Audiochecker may not be entirely accurate, but there are other programs showing differences” statement has just COLLAPSED.
  17. Again, COMMON SENSE remains elusive...
  18.  
  19. Audiochecker, Adobe Audition and every other audio-related programme you've referred to, mean absolutely NOTHING unless you know how to use them and, more importantly, INTERPRET THEIR RESULTS.
  20. You, evidently, CANNOT.
  21. It's ironic you know. Record Labels have been responsible for some horribly processed Reissues/Remasters the last couple of years.
  22. “Eat 'em and smile” is one of the few EXCEPTIONS. Somehow, it got away.
  23. Instead of hiring some audio engineer whose only task would be to boost the volume so as to be as "loud" as modern releases [and thus, completely destroying its dynamics], they simply repressed the original [judging by the excellent DR value: http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/71123]
  24. Wise decision.
  25. Think of this the next time you're about to utter some ridiculous comment such as "Not Lossless"
  26. Just because the speedometer is broken, stuck at 0 kM/h, doesn't mean the car isn't moving, OK?
  27. COMMON SENSE. You should try it sometime...
  28.  
  29. The main problem with such messages is that they spread doubt.
  30. Inadvertently or not, the result's the same.
  31. Some other clueless visitor will read them and start wondering whether they're true or not.
  32. If history has taught us something, is that idiocy is contagious.
  33. Hey look, “Steve Jobs is alive and kicking” (well, maybe not kicking but definitely breathing), “I saw the photo”.
  34. Why?
  35. Because very few people BOTHER to read beyond the headlines. Or the captions.
  36. There have been numerous social experiments about this particular behaviour.
  37.  
  38. Newsflash.
  39. Elvis is dead. Hitler too. Man did indeed land on the moon.
  40. And if you want to learn the safest way to detect *lossless audio*,
  41. 1st, go BUY a copy:
