| Analog vs. digital As the new Phon is breaking in, the soundstaging is sounding closer to that of the digital side, but also retaining its unique quality. | |
| Analog vs. digital Noromance, Probably right. Which Decca cartridge are you using? | |
| Analog vs. digital Absolutely right! A Ferrari and a Lamborghini. | |
| Analog vs. digital Melm, It’s not that the space is sharper, it’s, as you say, the notes are more distinct in digital. As far as being able to do a lot better on the digital side, the representation is very natural, just not as rounded. If anything, it’s objectivel... | |
| Best turntable for the buck ghdprentice, Thanks so much for sharing your voyage through the seas of audio. ‘Very valuable information. As I’m listening to the new preamp I’m liking it more and more. It seems, on my system at least, analog and digital have different flavors,... | |
| My last audio purchase? I, too, have the Benchmark DAC 3. I also have their Amplifier. Wonderful sound! Great company. | |
| Analog vs. digital charles1dad, I totally concur that CDs made from tapes of the’50’s and ‘60’s sound more natural than anything. This is true in classical as well as Jazz. ‘But the LP’s from that period actually (usually) sound better. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I’m listening to an old Quintessence LP of Earl Wild playing Rachmaninoff’s 4th Piano Concerto with Jasha Horenstein conducting. Fabulous disc in every way. ‘Those old Quintessence recordings, though cheap, were outstanding. | |
| Analog vs. digital melm, That’s a very good question. Although objectively the space around the instruments is better and sharper with digital, I can’t say it sounds more real than records. I get a fuller sound and more sense of involvement listening to records.... | |
| Best turntable for the buck Actually, it’s a developing proposition. Since I’ve only had the phon 1 and 1/2 days!, my changes in perception are happening moment to moment. I think some breaking in is taking place, as I’m listening constantly. At any rate I’m liking records m... | |
| Analog vs. digital J photography, Yes, I’m finding the same thing with an Analogue Productions LP vs. the same company’s SACD of Prokofiev’s “Lt. Kije.” | |
| Analog vs. digital It seems with the best audiophile records there is much less of a difference between analog and digital. They’re almost identical. But that’s not true with the majority of records on my system. | |
| Best turntable for the buck The only downside is that the preamp reveals the flaws in bad records as much as it enhances the quality in good sounding records. The other issue I’m having (not really a problem but a concern) is the difference in texture between the records and... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just listening to Munch conducting “Daphnis and Chloe”. Wow! Never really heard it before with my old preamp. | |
