| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" This is just trying to paint a fantasy brush onto reality. You don’t store sound, you store a signal, either analog of digital. The analog signal will mash up timing, frequency information, timbre, anything at all you want to use to describe said ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? One issue Swenson claims is an issue is literally just that, typical analog ground noise. The other would be internal system ground noise, which is real, but readily dealt with.He throws around his chip design experience quite readily, but that do... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" No, I most certain don’t conflate the two. Digital perfectly preserves timing in the analog time domain with well sub nanosecond accuracy, down even into 10's of picoseconds. Analog recording formats by virtue of their significant mechanical flaws... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" No, it will create distortions and coloring that many find pleasing. No more. No less. It also gives them a niche that lets them charge more.Then when a Company like TACET use analog tubes only recording method it is because the analog recording... | |
| Ceramic fuses Oh this is nothing compared to his obsession with most Class-D ... fueled by erroneous information about Class-D and thermal effects and impedance.cal37131,092 posts12-29-2020 4:57pmIt's funny that George can get everyone onto a "paid shill" cons... | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound Better conductivity is not a guaranteed path to better sound. Consistent conductivity may be. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Swenson has a lot of "theories" which he does not seem to back up with actual measurements of end devices to prove the effects he claims. I am not doubting the things the says, I am doubting his claims of how the impact what comes out.That starts... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Let go of this notion that "analogue" has a complete signal. It does not. As soon as you add noise, you no longer have the signal. You have a signal and noise, and since you have no way to remove that noise and leaving only the signal, then no, th... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" No, actually it does not. It either sounds like what was picked by the microphone or it does not. High res digital (most digital now), plays back a more accurate representation of what was captured. That is just the way it is. You may not like it,... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Vinyl can provide a very rewording playback, and there is a good chance that a combination of that particular mastering process and the colorations introduced by vinyl will provide a superior (for you) listening experience on a given track.However... | |
| Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital" Enjoy your moldy bread ..... I mean vinyl.He isn't wise, he was uneducated. Not recognizing his own lack of knowledge is not wise. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? If there is missing data there would be highly audible effects. How the missing data in spdif flow would affect SG is not clear to me, maybe someone else could open this in more detail. | |
| McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound You are right you can't have it both ways. You can promote all sorts of exotic contact materials and high pressure contacts for AC cables, wall outlets, even IEC plugs, yet claim the contacts on a typically very cheap fuse holder which passes the ... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? The Node2i is SPDIF out so there is potential for jitter introduction. If you were connected via wired internet, there is potential for the different routers (and their power suppliers) used by the different service providers to introduce electric... | |
| Bridging an amplifier George,That is an assumption (stereo amps will be worse bridged) that is simply no guarantee of the truth. Since I know you love Class-D so much, here is one test (read to the bottom, test of a Monoprice amp).https://melp242.blogspot.com/2019/05/m... |
