The character of analog and digital
Having just obtained some high quality analogue components, I want make some comments on the character of both analog and digital.
First of all it’s very difficult to speak of analog in general. Records vary widely (indeed wildly) in sonic character and quality. Digital recordings are much more uniform. When you play a digital file you more or less know what your getting. Of course some sound better than others, but there is a consistency of character. With records, it’s the Wild West. Variation in SQ and character are rampant.
Therefore it becomes very difficult to make generalizations on which categorically sounds better.
Nice! @zufan |
@sns How is the Korf headshell? what say you? |
The “horse blanket covering the speaker” descriptions always seem like a great analogy. My analogy is that some songs were hissing like a pentacostal revival with the snakes. Now the snakes are largely gone like St. Himself, to be sure, to be sure, chased the snakes from the land. |
@millercarbon I thought it was 5 pillars? |
@brianaus - that is a cracker of an insult. |
@tomcy6 Aussies beat up on Kiwis and Canadians with underhanded insults as often as they get the opportunity, just in a generally playful manner.
Aussies still get health care like Canadians, Kiwis and the PoHMs.
The “Americans in training” is basically like calling someone unaustralian. Which in the “Delhi School of Linguistics” “How to talk Austrians epsiode 2 Grub” youtube video, is summed up at 00:26 in.
