| Digital LP’s bipod72 The sound quality of vinyl, even today’s vinyl won’t be as good as the high-rez digital recording because vinyl has medium format limitations. It often doesn’t work that way in practice. It is very common for record companies to put a ... | |
| Do you past equipment appear in your dreams? No, but I've fondly dreamed that I'd kept and was still driving one of my old cars. | |
| What is your front end ? I enjoy the sound of LPs on my turntable the most, but it's not what I listen to most frequently. | |
| Why do Wav and Flac Files Sound Different? I’m a long-time analog guy and I know it annoys some of my fellow analogists when I say this, but I can make 24/96 digital files from LPs from my VPI/SME V/ARC Ref Phono 2SE that are spookily faithful. I don’t think anyone could tell them apart. | |
| Hearing aid question ericrhenry5488 I’ve been pleased and surprised by the number of thoughtful responses ... Me, too @ericrhenry5488. I’ve been an audiophile for a l-o-n-g time. I’m sure that any discussion about hearing aids would have been met with derision by ... | |
| why expensive streamers mdalton those are called rhetorical questions ... I apologize if my frustration came across as hostile. Sealioning, anyone? | |
| why expensive streamers mdalton How can it be that these manufacturers have discovered a secret in removing jitter, noise (and fairy dust?) without showing us how to measure this new, exciting branch of science? Why don’t you ask them to prove it? Why don’t they volu... | |

| why expensive streamers grislybutter Playing via streaming (putting packages together as they come in vs having it all at the door) is different because of their algorithms for how to cut corners - to deal with missing/delayed packets .. What algorithms do you imagin... | |
| Audio Research versus McIntosh tube amps: anyone experience or compare both? ARC and Mac amplifiers have completely different sounds. You need to hear them for yourself. | |
| why expensive streamers carlsbad2 ... Streaming can't use the error checking protocols that achieve bitperfect file transfer. Thus, dropped bits and the streamer's attempts to deal with it ... That is not true. Services such as Qobuz and Tidal use TCP/IP, which i... | |
| why expensive streamers carlsbad2 The error correction people keep mentioning is generally not the correct term. For file transfer, there is data correction available. It will go back to the source and get the correct data. For streaming, there is not data correction, ... | |
| why expensive streamers grislybutter I would have thought when analog is converted to digital and it becomes a stream, timing is encoded in the stream, the 0s and 1s. There is no layers of data, such as content and "pace" or whatever timing means, it's all one line... | |
