| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? I've seen accounts of experimental results seemingly proving that CD format is perceptually transparent. Also, accounts of experiments seemingly proving the opposite. Not satisfied with what I've seen in these papers, I conducted my own experimen... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @cleeds A math theorem is a principle that can be proven with math. The Fourier Transform is a theorem. It has been proven by both math and in actual implementation - it's the basis of both digital and analog audio. Your alternative paradig... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @thespeakerdude >>> Practical music doesn’t fulfill these obligations, >>> and thus the Sampling Theorem only works approximately. >>> How well it works can be calculated too, using other parts >>> of ... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @thespeakerdude Perhaps @fair , can enlighten with at least 2 or 3 of these research papers he claims are hard to find? A new paradigm with 3 decades of research that legitimately calls into question all current signal processing and hearin... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @cleeds No, Fourier Analysis is not a theory. It's a theorem; it can be shown to be perfect with math. Unless you can show a fault in the actual math, all of your hand waving and word salad is for naught. Fourier Analysis, as a theory, is... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @johnread57 @Fair can you summarize on this issue? Will do, referring to questions in the original post. It’s obvious right? They sound different, and I’m sure they measure differently. Yes and yes. Well we know the dynamic range of cd... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @johnread57 @thespeakerdude I did not present an opinion. I presented verifiable, researched, well understood, mathematical facts. Facts not disputed by those with the deepest understanding of the underlying math, and those able to adapt t... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @thespeakerdude If there is any interest, this is probably the best single article I have discovered that explains digital audio. It is not light reading nor heavy reading. Dan, who put it together obviously put a lot of time into it. It i... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? We are getting somewhere. @thespeakerdude From where I am sitting you have not provided one explanation because every single explanation or example you have used is wrong, stacking misunderstanding on top of misunderstanding. This is preci... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @mahler123 With all this esoterica being discussed, how does one account for the phenomena of the fact that most lps these days use digital files, and vinylista think they sound great, as long as they don’t know the truth? Thinking in ter... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @thespeakerdude ... These theories are tested day in and day out ... ... They do what they do accurately, understanding their limitations ... I agree with these two statements of yours. What I was referring to are approaches where limitati... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @teo_audio The place it counts is in the micro expression of transients and micro transients and the differences in level and timing between them. This sums it up well. This is where digital and class d falls apart. Those are the points... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @thespeakerdude I see one major flaw in your logic. CD and two channel DSD is just that, two channels. When I am in a room, out in the wilds, or anywhere, there could be an infinite number of sound sources, that all contribute to that data you... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @tomcy6 A blind analog/digital test recently came to light which caused a great deal of consternation among the analog contingent of our hobby and brought doubt.to some of their claims of what they can hear. It was recently discovered that Mo... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? @cleeds We know that CD has a greater potential dynamic range than LP but in practice, the opposite is often the case. Just look at the DR database. "Dynamic range" has multiple definitions even in professional sense. For starters, for a gi... |
