How Science Got Sound Wrong

Oh Cleeds you totally crack me up. You 100% believe that every specification w.r.t. turntables and vinyl 100% correlates to our understanding of human hearing but you will jump through logical hoops and distort math, physics and reality in an attempt to claim digital cannot achieve the level of detail or accuracy of vinyl sort of like how this article does.


You want to pick and choose the experiments and scientific knowledge w.r.t. human hearing and signals that suit your desired outcome and ignore the ones that don't. That is charming but disingenuous.


You pretty much admitted you have no valid technical reason to prefer vinyl over digital. Thank You

Oh no, I've never claimed that "digital cannot achieve the level of detail or accuracy of vinyl." Ever. Anywhere. That's just another silly "argument" that you are trying to advance because, it appears, you enjoy arguing for its own sake.

So basically Cleeds you have no point at all? Thank you for clarifying that.

I think that the point is not Digital versus Vinyl "per se"...
It is only that "the hearing brain" has his own distinguishing criteria for being "happy" that does not exactly superpose themselves with the actual frontier that separate the complex and mixed analog/digital links line in audio engineering...

In a word when somebody listen to music, his ego is listening, but his brain also, and they are not exactly the same entity or reducible to the samething… Just a 2 cent remark....

That explain why some brainless twit can enjoy trash sound from a trash source, digital or vinyl, but unbeknownst to him , his brain not so much... If we understand that perhaps we can go deeper in the analysis...

If not, there is only a trivial but very "informed" superficial but very technical debate indeed, instead of the search for a truth bigger than our own opinions...My other 2 cents... My best to all...

Hey, atdavid , read up just a few posts and you'll find this:

... your assertion that LP isn’t "accurate" doesn’t withstand scrutiny ...

That was my point. You can't really defend the claim, so instead you defend yourself against arguments that you invent, and then claim I made.  Have a nice day.
