Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
i totally disagree. Commercially available CDs and other digital formats, due to corporate imperatives (profit) are by design not equal to analog.   This above is an opinion though stated as if it were a fact. Hitler won an election. If he was... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
Perhaps, geoff...but, in my opinion, it is rare that any of these "variables" exist in sufficient magnitude to effect the audio signal sent to the speakers.  And, if they do, the human hear cannot detect whatever difference these "variables" might... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
Forum user above made the following statement about another user.  In part:...made by user "cleeds" who is like a festering, infected boil upon this forum he is ignorant, misinformed....This name calling is not only sophomoric, it is demeaning and... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
The OP said:"At this point I feel like I should give up on analogue playback and invest further in digital."   Smart move, I did that 27 years ago in 1991.  Analog is not better musically...but it is an interesting experience for those who still c... 
Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable?
A thought.... who praises the significant, if not impressive, improvements in sound quality that can be achieved by buying very expensive "high end” cables? Two groups. One - Those that manufacture, distribute and sell these products at a serious ... 
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
OP asks "when will the madness end." It will end when everyone is as smart, savvy and knowledgeable as most of the "naysayers" on this forum. It will end when audiophiles "get" that when they spend exorbitant amounts on audio accessories, they are... 
Are you as OCD as this audiophile?
This dude has his panties all in a wad about the equipment and what it might say about him.  He needs to pause and occasionally just listen to the music. 
CDs Vs LPs
jumperboy2 says:  CDs - Just more practical. I still have CDs that are well over 10 years ago. Ha-ha....is ten years supposed to be a long time?  My first CDs were purchased back in 84 and they still sound fine.  Goodness, that was 34 years ago!! 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Don't "phool" yourself.  People buy watches, cars, homes, furniture, clothes, audio speakers...hell, even pets for the looks and what it says about their financial status.  I get that.  Just don't try to slide by me that you buy $22,000.00 speaker... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
I do not believe in the effectiveness of expensive, overpriced "wire."  I recently priced out  full stereo cable set up (minus power cables) of Nordhost's Odin line of cables.  If I remember correctly, the retail cost was $137,000.00.Yes....they t... 
CDs Vs LPs
Liz: can we/you please stay on point.  What's going on inside men's pants (as you view it) has no place here.  Why not, instead, tell us how all those diamond studded recepticles cooking on your refrigerator are progressing - much more humor and e... 
CDs Vs LPs
Phomchick:"This is a oft repeated and persistent argument against digital audio, but it is a myth. It stems from a lack of understanding of sound........."A well written and understandable post about a subject few really comprehend.  Thanks for th... 
CDs Vs LPs
sleepwalker: Assuming your post is scientifically accurate, I'd opine that you are addressing facets of the recording process that are well beyond the ability of the human ear to detect.  Therefore, to me, irrelevant.  
CDs Vs LPs
This "ragged edge" theory has been around for years and disproved a number of times.  In any case, it is just an opinion and should be stated as such in your post.Also, while some may find the sound reproduction of analog more pleasing (for whatev... 
Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
You have been very polite, sleepwalker.  And, in reply, you have today been called washed out, a clown, sad, pathetic and disgusting.  A reply that includes personal attacks and sophomoric name calling immediately loses all credibility.  Not sure ...
