| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I think Hoover uprights suck. | |
| Another vinyl comeback story Getting a little tired of the 'vinyl makes a comeback' story. Would you be happier with 8 track makes a comeback? Have some of them stored away? | |
| Cannonball Adderly / Somethin' Else I'd bet on the Acoustic Sounds Blue Note 45 RPM Reissue, due to be released any day now. This, based on the quality of this group of 45 RPM LP's I've received from Chad at Acoustic and Ron at Music Matters Jazz. The same creative team is handling ... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player Dave, I always go to Denver for Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, I'm the one that's supplied show coverage for Audiogon since the very first show.I would love to visit, provided it's not imposing on plans you already have in place. Email me and we can t... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? This has turned out to be a wonderfully informative thread for me. I may need to read this several times to fully absorb.Mmakshak, regarding:Tvad, I've got a conspiracy theory and/or an excuse that leaves me totally blameless for not reading Alber... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? No DCS or Meitner in my system recently. I did hear the old DCS from a few years ago but assume they are much better now.Doing show coverage, I've heard all the hot models multiple times at various venues but I guess that really does not count.I'v... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player An absolutely excellent job all around Dave. Thanks for your wonderful contribution.Wish I could hear this machine, maybe someday I'll call Tinn and ask about it. | |
| itunes...do all versions sound the same??? I too like iTunes 8 and love my iPhone. Currently my iTunes music is loaded only on the iPod, none on my new iPhone.Has anyone compared the sound of CD's burned to Apple Lossless and loaded onto the new 3G iPhone against last years iPod video?So y... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Muralman1, Audiogon member Logenn owned the same Audio Note unit as you, it's a great sounding DAC. This is a musical DAC not hard sounding like many. In some ways you've chosen the same path I'm discussing but with better resolution than the chea... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tomcy6, no reason we can't listen to a broken AM radio, our iPod, car radio, satellite music, Labtec computer speaker and Panasonic bedside FM.What's wrong with having all these mediocre sources and a couple of excellent ones as well?I own all the... | |
| How to break in pre-amps ? Agree with Rodman9999. You can use tuner, CD player, iPod, satellite radio or similar source into one of the high level inputs of your preamp. The exception would be breaking in the moving coil section of a phono preamp.For that job, the Granite A... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I agree with all the comments about tuning for source. Admittedly my system is driven by LP, but open reel tape seems to fare very well with the same tweaks.There was a time when I put all my effort into making digital right and at one time I had ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? An absolutely excellent post Learsfool. I was not aware that digital had these inherent flaws. I always thought that given sufficient sampling rate, it would eventually sound like analog.I have quite a few LP's pressed from digital masters and som... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Maybe lack of better digital media is related to quite large number of audiophiles claiming that they will never buy digital or the greed of the companies selling SACDs for over $30 or the lack of the will from government to push for the standard.... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? 09-12-08: KijankiAlbertporter - "You're missing the point completely" - I'm not sure what point it is since you use a lot of words with just one conclusion that current CD format is not as good as LP. I never said it is, and there is no need to ju... |
