| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Viridian, I have a better idea of what you mean by dynamic range and signal to noise ratio, but even accepting that definition does not yield more than about 80db range for vinyl, while CD has at least 100db. And these figures I have measured usin... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Viridian, listening into 20db of noise (I guess this is like the cocktail party effect) to hear music is not my idea of gained dynamic range.Salut, Bob p. | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? But then Rockinroni said that a Systemdek with Rega arm at 700$ would outperform a CD and obviously reproduce the notes below 120HZ. I am glad that we cleared that up!Bob P. | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Viridian, agreed. However, even though dynamic range is an engineering choice, the choices are still limited by the medium and technology. There is a wider dynamic range available with digital than vinyl. | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Rockinroni, if I recall correctly, you said that even an entry level system will outplay a CD system. So why doesn't my so called entry system not outplay my CD system? Because it has nothing to do with the playback system - it is more a question ... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Rockinroni, "this is bass that a CD player cannot match"! Please! If only that supposedly added octave in the bass were there to be retrieved. Not usually! I have played back on my vinyl play back system direct to disc organ recordings (low of 16H... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Wow, Viridian, you enjoy hearing noise that is 20db higher in level than the music?! Even adding the 20db to the average 50db range before hitting the noise floor, that gives you 70db. Don't worry I have measured several LP's for dynamic range and... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? And yet, Eldartford, vinyl proponents will tell you that LP reproduction maintains more of the original music than digital recordings because they don't, for the most part, understand sampling theory and think that somehow the "heart" of the music... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Perhaps, but not because they are not missing information and the CDs are.Salut, Bob P. | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Nrchy, aren't you just discussing which part is missing on which medium? Vinyl, after all, is missing the bottom end and dynamics, while possessing (or at least recreating the "life" and mark my words the life is not being extracted from the groov... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Viridian, I don't know what the source of hiss is on those CD's, but I do hear it, in fact even more since there are no other noises to mask it! | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? How come the vinyl lovers are all able to "tune-out" (pun intended) the little noises contained on the medium to enjoy the music, but are unable to "tune-out" the lack of information (so called) on CD to enjoy the music? Whose internal filter is w... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Actually hiss is recorded on vinyl, its tape hiss, which can be audible on (ironically) a quiet disc! Must be part of the "extra" information that is retrievable from vinyl. BTW, you won't hear tape hiss on a vinyl disc that was recorded digitally... | |
| Best pre-amp to match with the Dynaco ST-70? And what is wrong with using the Dyna PAS 3X with the ST-70? | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. TWL, I agree with your statement about good arguements about held opinions to be helpful in gaining more knowledge. I suspect, however, that we are going to continue to disagree on this one - too bad that you had to bring up the digital vs analogu... |
