[Heathkit] question from a non-Ham

[jim unger]

Jim,
    I'm certain that the kids' Nano sounds ok, but when was the last time 
you heard real, live, UNAMPLIFIED instruments being played for you in a real 
space? My guess ranges from "Long time ago" to "Never".
    Point is, unless one keeps his/her ears tuned-up regularly to the true 
sound of live music, all opinions are invalid. It may sound good, even 
fabulous. But what is the reference to live, natural music?
    And have you ever auditioned hi-end, hi
    Just my feeling on this.

 I've listened to songs on the kids iPod Nano and am amazed at the sound
 quality.
