Again, two different things here;timinbovey wrote:To say lathe cut is crap because it's not stereo, or doesn't have the frequency response, etc is like saying black and white photography is crap because it doesn't do it's best to reproduce the
original scene.
-reproduction
-another version of the original
When you say you'll make a reproduction of a colored photograph and you reproduce it as b/w , something goes wrong...
Not what I said. I don't mean making a black and white reproduction of a color photograph. If you were to take two original photographs of the same scene, one in color, one in black and white. Is the black and white photo by default "crap" because it doesn't replicate the scene as accurately?
Just like making a mono, or not as high of fidelity of a recording doesn't automatically make it crap.
(granted there can be recordings that are SO bad they are indeed crap).
