| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Mapman, again I was composing my response when your post went up, sorry to be out of sync.I have not compared that recording of the Moody Blues, I'm pretty sure I have the LP but not the CD. Then again, even if I wanted to conduct tests again, I w... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Did it get the "soul" of the music?Since my comparison was made only between the commercial CD release and the artists personal copy of a digital master, there was no analog to judge by.Part of why I was listening was because my friend was angry t... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Mapman, you posted while I was composing my response.I agree that digital could be great and said so in my original post. As for your experience with digital being better in some cases, I have yet to have that happen in my system. There have been ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Albertporter - I agree. CD sampling rate of 44kHz is a joke but it has nothing to do with being analog or digital. Imagine fast internet downloads in true 24bits/192kHz (around the corner). Would analog made from this material still be better? You... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? On the topic of both music and photography, and digital versus analog. A great LP record (even from a digital master) is capable of delivering more information than a CD, and until digital is available in a format that's closer to the digital mast... | |
| Regular Blue Note reissues quality? I agree Grimace. When the Music Matters and Acoustic Sounds Blue Note reissues are gone and everyone figures out what they missed, the price will skyrocket.I ordered every title from both companies, absolutely amazing stuff. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I've had good results removing ferrous material near my equipment but it depends on the equipment and the situation. What I'm saying, I don't doubt you got good results.I hope you don't think I'm picking on you, I honestly do not know what the "no... | |
| Looking for the Best Sounding 250 Tracks I know before this thread is over, Stevie Ray's "Texas Weather," Louis Armstrong's, "St. James." Pink Floyd's, "Dark Side" and one or more popular Miles Davis cuts will make this list.Because of that, my list will be a bit off center, tracks chose... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones ILS? Not understood. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Tom, do the non fuse magnets provide protection? | |
| How can we settle for digital? I hope digital will make a rebound, only this time by upping the sampling rate to equal what is captured by the master. Perhaps this could be offered via downloads or Blue Ray?CD's are a very long way from the original studio digital. If we could ... | |
| Tweaks that convince others you're truly nuts... Artemus_5WHAT ?? You paid $3,000.00 for a stereo NEEDLE? (I can hear it now). | |
| Tweaks that convince others you're truly nuts... Rushton, I agree with all your tweaks, all easily heard in my system. Oddly enough, you and I seem to be two of the few that don't like the Shatki stones. Of your list, only the Walker HDL is controversial, and only then because there are speakers... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57, I don't know about a $10.00 fuse, but for a it more than the regular glass ones you can go ceramic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Fuses.jpgImage does not necessarily relate to audio, just a way to show what the two types look like. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Dave_b, if you don't mind, please comment on time required for burn in and where in your equipment chain the fuse went (CD, amp, etc). |
