| Records and CDs In the classical field that I mostly listen to the vast majority of titles released or not on vinyl but on CD. Those that are on LP are twice the price, and despite claims, don’t sound as good as the originals. Like you, I like the rituals of ana... | |
| Let the best be your guide @mahler123 How true. | |
| Let the best be your guide @audphile1 Well put! | |
| Let the best be your guide Before we became audioholics we could listen to music and fill in the gaps of sound that were missing from the recording. Our remembering of the real thing was there to supplant the missing fidelity. It would be nice to go back that way again. It’... | |
| 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 Can’t resist the temptation to do an A-B comparison between the record and the streamed digital version of the same performance to test SQ. | |
| Records and CDs @newbee Exactly the same experience. Listening for the sound of records rather than the music. That becomes the operative mode. And yes, orchestral which is my main listening is extremely uneven and frustrating.. | |
| Records and CDs @yogiboy I don’t know why there is an either/or dichotomy with analog and digital in my head. Others in this forum have experienced the same dilemma. Somehow they won’t peacefully exist. It would be nice if I could have it both ways. | |
| Records and CDs @ellajeanelle I hear you! I don’t know where I’ll wind up. | |
| Records and CDs In my previous analogue frenzy I ordered a relatively expensive cartridge (Clearaudio Maestro.) It will be interesting to see what my listening habits will be after it arrives. |
