5 year old audiophile

["Jeff House" <whocasa@hotmail.com>]

I've been conducting a little experiment with my 5-year-old.  We have been 
listening to 3 different versions of her favorite Who song:  "Boris the 
Spider".  She is not going to jump in to defend her observations since she 
cannot read or type.

The 3 competing versions are from the Max R&B box set, Blues to the Bush and 
BBC Sessions.

Overall, she prefers the BBC Sessions version but stuck her fingers in her 
ears when the volume of the cymbal crashes annoyed her.  I assume she is 
unhappy with the mastering.  This problem was rectified by turning down the 
treble and the volume.

The BTTB version is her least favorite.  She called it "loud".  I sensed she 
was unhappy with John's vocal as well as the hard sound quality.

The Max R&B version is in the middle, but she thinks John sounds like he is 
holding his nose while singing.

So I guess BBC gets thumbs up because of the superior performance.

There you have it.
