Preservation


"It’s important to acknowledge that the thousands of people who insist that the original vinyl release of an analog-era recording often sounded better than did the CD re-issue aren’t wrong.

It’s only their hasty conclusion that this was due to an inherent fault of LPCM that’s mistaken."

 LPCM = Linear Pulse Code Modulation 

This has to do with how uncompressed audio signals are sampled.

Some CDs can sound "too digital" or "artifical" for lack of better words. Vinyl can sound smooth and have a warm tilt, but usually not grainy like some CDs. The question then becomes - which is more accurate?

If we forget about these two mediums, there is DSD to consider.
