This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King


Look at this old, old, Video on YouTube. Man, Neil Young and Michael Fremer look young! Even in 1993 the writing was on the wall; analog really was and still is today, superior to digital! Try this link:

Michael Fremer was never young. His real name is Abel. He faked his death and framed his brother Cain for his murder.

When looking closely at the CD format, problems seem to occur when there are massed high frequencies. It doesn't seem like CD sampling rates could properly record things like massed strings. High frequency harmonics would seem to be lost or misread. But that's just my opinion. CD proponents would say that those differences in hf harmonics are not in the audible spectrum (I think they are). But they would be if the resulting [erroneous] recorded signal would be in the audible spectrum. Is this the grain we hear in massed violins on CDs?

I agree with Shadorne's noise floor comments.
@ Unsound: Sure there are a lot of problems with vinyl. Nothing's perfect. Nothing is really very close. But to my ears (old as they are), vinyl LPs better the other reasonably available options for my system. Nothing that I could have in my system that provides the variety of music I enjoy works better than vinyl LPs.
Differ? That voting with ones wallet determines quality? That iPhones and iPods are better than a good vinyl rig?

Can you share whatever you're smoking with the rest of us?
