| Why vinyl? Mrmitch,You mirror much of how I feel on the topic.Back in the early 80's I was getting into the hobby and of course the LP record reigned supreme for the consumer. I began to read up on digital though and the CD and was pulled into it by its hype... | |
| Newbie Help Consider the following.KAB modified Technics SL-1200MkII or SL-1210MkII with a Cardas rewired tonearm and the KAB fluid damper. $770.00Be patent with KAB as it may take a few weeks for them to rewire test and ship out said unit but it is worth the... | |
| Why vinyl? Dave,Yes I have heard DVD-A and it is generally quite nice. I find it still has an edge to it that sounds not quite right but if I never was into good quality vinyl playback and was willing to re-buy my digital CD library in DVD-A it would be a go... | |
| Why vinyl? I don't believe digital is inherently more accurate. It has its strengths but is has its flaws. It takes an analogue signal and chops it up into little digital packets where to play back a microprocessor tries to reassemble the packets to recreate... | |
| Why vinyl? But how can you use 130db dynamic range though? Any home listener to take advantage of this about a minimum 20db household background noise would endure 150db volume peaks. Nobody can stand that level for any length of time. You as a recording eng... | |
| Why vinyl? 130db dynamic range is unusable in any home listening or likely any other venue environment. The typical home will have a general background noise floor of 20-40db. If you go with 130db the max. dynamic range to be above the background noise floor... | |
| Why vinyl? Inpepinnovations,I think it is both.On an anlogue mastered tape the sounds, frequencies and harmonics are left 100% in analogue form from the moment the tape recorded them to the cutting of the master disc and the pressing of vinyl. Every step of ... | |
| Why vinyl? It is hard to compare LPs from analogue to digital masters as the masters are one or the other. So engineering during process will be different. In other words take say Steely Dan, Gaucho, it is an analogue mastered disc, there is no digital recor... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Cmk,Yes it is to a nice quality plate with Gold plated plug ins and a nice grounding post. I do not think they do a complete one piece run through but you may want to email Kevin at KAB about this.This said I have no fear in the gold plated termin... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Perfectionist,Mine has no fluid damper yet, only Cardas rewire. I will spring for the damper down the road. But having owned an RB250 and now the Technics. I see nowhere does it fall short of the RB-250. Both are very nice arms for the money. IMO ... | |
| Why vinyl? Greggdeering,Using the Bank of Canada inflation calculator $9.00 in 1985 is equal to about $16.50 today.New vinyl toady an be pricey because its still cottage industry and lower volume than in the 70's-80's. In terms of dollar for dollar, new viny... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Having recently received my SL-1200MKII with the KAB modified Cardas rewire I can say a fee quick things given the few hours I have played it yet.1: The level of construction of the SL-12xx series based on my model is superb. I personally like its... | |
| Why vinyl? Ihcho,Just too assure, if vinyl was to regain popularity as it did in the 60's-70's the price of new vinyl would drop closer to the $15.00 range based on volume sale alone. This would put it inline with CD sales and priced competitively among othe... | |
| Why vinyl? Sjungdahl & Xiekitchen,First yes I think too many young kids, teens and adults have sadly missed or are missing the boat about what entertainment a good and it does not have to be too pricey sound system can be like. It's disappointing because... | |
| Why vinyl? Tomcy6,Vinyl lovers do not really disparage people who listen to CD's, many vinyl lovers also invest quite a bit in to CD's. But it has been vinyl being bashed since 1982 by hearing "PERFECT SOUND FORVEVER!" as buzz words. Many of us fell into the... |
