Vinyl vs. CD & HD from A.C.A...

Hi,

Probably the most favourite subject between audiophiles around the world is the on-going "fight" between analogue and digital. Since the introduction of the CD in 1981 and after some years of the digital predominance, digital seems to have hit the technological roof and analogue is making a strong come back in the last 10 years. Personally all over these years I have made my comparisons with various material and I have concluded them in a paper named Same great music on Vinyl vs. CD....

But some people were telling me that my old Wadia 8/15 pair was technologically outdated and so the comparison was not fair, so I decided to organize in my listening room a blind test between a top digital (whatever that means...) and my analogue gear, with lots of people invited...

See the rest of this very interesting IMHO story here:

- aca.gr/event08-9.htm (with lots of pictures and 10 videoclips covering the event).

I hope you enjoy it...

Analog and digital sound different and always will.

Comparing them is lame and an exercise in futility.

I enjoy good digital and good analog. Therefore I feel a choice is unnecessary.

I own excellent examples of both.

However, it is lame to compare the topologies and expect them to sound similar. They don't and never will. That was point and perhaps not stated clearly.

Now, one might prefer a particular disc over its' vinyl counterpart. That happens albeit infrequently.

If forced to live with only one, it would be sinora to those shiny little frisbees.
