Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
Spatalking seems to be trying to compress 8 pounds of reasonable audio knowledge in a 6 pound bag - and the terminology he uses, which appears more intended to impress than convince, doesn'thelp in determining what he is actually trying to tell us...

Boxer:I assume that you have read my recent posts above.  I stopped listening to records in 1992...after about 32 years of my life of that being the best media around.  I do not have to spend thousands of dollars to buy turntables (again) and mu...

Dyna, I’m going to go out on a limb here & say you missed there point. You have suggested vinyl as being antiquated & inferior (sound wise / I guess you like the looks) to digital, while using a Garrard Zero 100 as your standard. Probabl...

Elizbeth: thanks for your input trashing my first turtable from 50 years ago.  Being you, and with my experience with you, I suspect you would trash any gear I mentioned.Chakster: ditto.  The Zero-100 was definitely cool looking.  That was my poin...

Chakster said:This is a proof of how cool those analog formats really is, otherwise they would not survive in the digital era. They are cool!  That is part of the appeal of retro.  Listening to vinyl, as I've said before is, in my opinion, is al...

akaim says: ...the differences really jump out at you with headphones. the ambience and depth with analog is superior.   it's not something you'll always hear playing it through speakers in a room. it's a subtle difference...I do not agree that ...

Chakster:Not sure I get why you uploaded that "slide" image.  To me it just looks like a a digital scan of a blurry purple haze.  And since it is now a digital image, what I supposed to compare it with.   
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind...
My opinion is that if you have decent cables to begin with, any improvement in sound quality provided by more expensive cables, if any (and I don't think there will be any) is going to be so subtle that the only way you will be able to discern a d...

chakster: You covered too many bases and a response from me would just take too long.  I'm glad, though, that my post got your chops churning and interested you enough to provide such a verbose reply.I used film from 1972 to 2004.  After digital r... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
When digital photography was limited to 4 to 8 megapixels, "purists" said film was better; despite all the many disadvantages and expense of film and film processing. Now with 24 megapixels being the standard, nobody (hardly) argues that film is a...

In 5 years CD will be dead. In 20 years, vinyl will be dead. Most people would opine that the CD is already dead, we just don't know it.  Vinyl has been dead for 30 years but has risen from the grave for some people.  This passing fad can't last. 
CDs Vs LPs
"Confirmation bias" is not a "strawman argument," Elizabeth, it is a psychological reality.  When you spend a lot of money on an audio upgrade, you disconnect the old crap and hook up the new stuff.  You typically have neither the time, interest, ... 
CDs Vs LPs
Well, it is my opinion, that vinyl can sound very pleasing. That combined with the whole experience (cool looking turntable, album cover and sleeve, setting the record on the platter, cuing up the tonearm, etc.) makes if certainly very different. ... 
CDs Vs LPs
My point was to debunk your assertion that a "record" over 100 years old sounds better that current technology...which I assume is digital recording.  That is the silliness I was referring to.If that is not what you meant then you stated an opinio... 
CDs Vs LPs
It has allways has amazed me analog that was created 100+ years ago sounds better than present technology. OK....that is just a silly statement.  Do a little research on how records were produced in 1918.
