Any audio engineers, band members or pro recorders out there?

Just wanted to know cause most of you have herd kleen 24 bit 96,000 Hz sound before. I'm no pro audio engineer, just play the guitar and record with the computer. One of my Neighbors is a pro audio engineer. He has some bad azz equipment there to work with. Man I went over there and hear those pro studio speakers and DAMN!!! Thats about the clearest sound I ever heard! The only Car stereo that puts out something like that I know is the Clarions but they have a price tag that is out of my league. Does anyone know of one that puts out such sound for a decent price?

>here are some cool Facts I found on the net.

0 dB Threshold of hearing
30 dB Very soft music
45 dB Average home background noise
60 dB Background music
65 dB Conversation
80 dB Loud classical music
115 dB Loud rock music
130 dB Threshold of pain <-------<font color=blue>cool!</font>

Width S/N Ratio
1 bit 6 dB
8 bit 48 dB
16 bit 96 dB
24 bit 144 dB
32 bit 192 dB


8 bit, 22,050 Hz, mono 1.25 Mb per minute
16 bit, 22,050 Hz, mono 2.5 Mb per minute
16 bit, 22,050 Hz, stereo 5 Mb per minute
16 bit, 44,100 Hz, mono 5 Mb per minute
16 bit, 44,100 Hz, stereo 10 Mb per minute
16 bit, 48,000 Hz, stereo 11 Mb per minute
20 bit, 44,100 Hz, stereo 12.5 Mb per minute
24 bit, 44,100 Hz, stereo 15 Mb per minute
24 bit, 96,000 Hz, stereo 33 Mb per minute

okay, take a bat, and swing as hard as you can and hit a light pole, that is kinda what it feels like.

whats even better is watching a guy go into a car that does 160s all day and the owner of the car is outside, does a burp at 30htz......repeatedly. when the guy got out he looked like he got kick in the ***** :lala:

every dB drag that I have been to they make you put head phones on if you want to stay in your car.

Are you talking about head units and reading a CD?? If so, there are a lot of heads out there that will sound just as good. Denon, Nak, McIntosh, Eclipse, etc etc. But, they carry a large pricetag as well.
