| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I think the real question here is who’s the one getting ripped off? 😬 But if you’re happy that’s what counts. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Digital is cheaper? Really? Since when? Pop quiz - If the recording is made digitally on digital tape isn’t that a REAL TIME REPRESENTATION OF A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE? | |
| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. Kudos should go to tape, the medium the recording was made on. Tape is a natural medium. It breathes. Vinyl is simply the neutral repository for the taped information.howver, as I opined recently imho there’s nothing really wrong with CDs per seco... | |
| DeoxIT on tube pins Deoxit is more than a cleaner. It “conditions” the metal surfaces. The problem is folks sometimes don’t wipe it off sufficiently after applying. Or are too aggressive in the application. Also, these cleaners and conditioners are nice but real cont... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl The only thing keeping CDs from moving out and taking charge is the pernicious and tenacious background scattered laser light problem. Something wonderful is going to happen. 😳 | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles wolf_garcia4,528 posts01-26-2019 3:04amI think a system costing hundreds of thousands of dollars can still sound great. >>>>>Maybe. It might also sound like horse manure. You certainly can’t tell by just looking at it. Camel, eye of... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl It’s very hard to prove the case for either CD or LP. Obviously some CDs of the same recording sound different on different releases, e.g., compression, remastering. Some CDs of the same recording apparently sound different from different countrie... | |

Crossovers are a separate issue. How do you know your sys... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Off the shelf CDs and stock off the shelf electronics really don’t have a chance. But they will have a chance, a very good chance when you roll up your sleeves and start treating the CDs and implementing tweaks, you know, like isolation, aftermark... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! Gee, they couldn’t be the same brilliant audio engineers that are compressing the life out of recordings, could they? Maybe those are different brilliant audio engineers. | |
| DeoxIT on tube pins The main problem you see is contact enhancer getting onto the top surface of the socket, after it I squeezed out when the tube is inserted after too much enhancer was applied. Where it can possibly cause a short. The top of the socket should be cl... | |

| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Yes, it’s chasing the dragon to some degree. A lot depends on one’s objectives and where one decides to get off the merry go round. When the early settlers moved West a lot of them decided the hardships weren’t worth it and decided to settle in th... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! The Polarity issue is important, I’ll grant you that. It’s too bad there’s no standard for Polarity in the industry. However in terms of priority of importance, i.e., impact on sound quality, I rate the scattered background laser light problem hig... | |
