A Couple Of Articles For Digital Listeners


If you prefer digital audio, here are a couple of articles that provide a little support for your listening preference.

MY INTENTION IS NOT TO START AN ARGUMENT WITH PEOPLE WHO PREFER VINYL.

IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THE ASSERTION THAT DIGITAL CAN SOUND VERY GOOD, MAYBE EVEN BETTER THAN VINYL, PLEASE DO NOT READ THESE ARTICLES.

Well said Mahler, for those who wish there digital sounded like their vinyl, look at my last post, it can come very close if one does the mods, and it's only around $10 for the parts and you can make it switchable.

I can see why some like vinyl, as I conducted an experiment with the same Beatles track on CD v Vinyl and I preferred the vinyl because it had more body to the mids and fuller bass , even though it’s wasn’t as tight or separated as the cd.

So what I did was to reduce the channel separation of the cd (120db) to the same channel separation of the vinyl (30-40db at best) with a left and right mono’izing bleed network on the cdp.

And you guessed it the Beatles now on CD replay was preferred, as there was body to the mids and fuller bass, and the left right ping pong effect of early music cd replay was greatly reduced, more mono’ized for want of a better word and no surface noise as well with no tracking distortion of a stylus, even though separation L & R spread was reduced and tightness also was reduced.
