| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? @jeffseight Feikert turntable, Origin Live Silver arm, Sutherland 20/20 Phon, Clearaudio Maestro cartridge. (Same results with Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge.) | |
| Records and CDs I finally got delivery on the Clearaudio Maestro cartridge. So far, without having broken in, it sounds very much like the Virtuoso. Hopefully it will improve in time. | |
| Eva Cassidy "remastered" I just received the LP today from Amazon after hearing it on Qobuz yesterday. I was very skeptical as to how the orchestral accompaniment would work, but after hearing it, I believe it fits like a glove. Her genius transcends the medium. There... | |

| Let the best be your guide You wonder how these crappy sounding recordings get made. Presumably there are sound engineers who know what they’re doing. Yet some recordings are released with a lack of bass, or shrillness or some other defect. How does it happen? Are they aimi... | |
| Let the best be your guide @ghdprentice it’s good to know you don’t have that problem. | |
| Records and CDs @signaforce Your point is very well taken. There are many variables. | |
| Records and CDs I’m beginning to see that making it a contest of digital vs. analog is a fool’s errand. They can peacefully COEXIST in one’s listening habits, appreciating each for its own merits. I don’t have to only listen to one over the other as the “main e... | |
