| vinyl versus digital redux Cleeds,With all those thoughts I largely or entirely agree.Please let me know if you elsewhere come upon similar discussion, this being a relatively specific discussion. There are bits and pieces, but where to find a more comprehensive review ?M... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Cleeds,My intent in this thread was to ascertain and discuss the validity of vinyl sound achieved without vinyl.Increased measurable distortion and decreased dynamic range inherent in vinyl playback are, I believe, hard to dispute.Various explanat... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Cleeds,I'm not sure we're on different pages.I am not talking about 'quality' connoting 'accuracy' of reproduction of a performance.I am talking about a sonic characteristic, a sonic 'signature' if you wish, which is achieved only through the inte... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Steve and cleeds and others,So studios do sell digital 'copies' of vinyl sources.Do you agree that the audio result of initial digital recording, tape recording, and 'direct to disc' analog recording (via vinyl lathe cutting or lacquer to 'stamper... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Dgarretson, willewonka and others...I cannot disagree with your last posts.So....if for whatever reason vinyl offers euphonic sound reproduction that is preserved on highly competent transfer from vinyl to digital format, how might we as audiophil... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux willewonka and cleeds and others,1. I am gratified to hear that audiophiles like yourselves with high end equipment cannot discern the difference between vinyl played 'directly' and vinyl converted to hi resolution digital....as has been my experi... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Mijostyn,Aha !, and thanks.I assume we are 'on the same page', that transcription of an audio signal to vinyl imparts unique sonic quality, one that your high end systemduplicates by conversion of the vinyl 'signal' to high resolution digital.So w... | |
| Magico vs the world smodtactical and othersI referenced Erik Squires' comments regarding the A3, I have not heard them. I did audition the Rockport Avior 11, digital source, and Rockport Cygnus loudspeakers, analog and digital sources, and I own the B&W 802d3's... | |
| Magico vs the world I own the 802d3's and question a lack of midrange and upper midrange resolution. I note that they employ 'continuum' midrange cones which are of variable thickness and stated to offer best available clarity via their combination of stiffness and s... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! Was unaware of A5Thanks | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! Kenjit and DHT4.me...and others.Your comments are of great interest.One implication is that driver cost does contribute significantly to high end speaker cost....I wonder again if the drivers used by Magico and Rockport are costlier and better tha... | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! Discussants, may I ask if anyone has compared the Magico's, the Rockport Avior 11's, the B&W 802d3's, and Revel studio 11 in particular consideration of features contributing to the cost of each. Specifically: 1. Do the Magico's and Rockport... | |
| ?? hi res recording studio practices Glissando and others,Thanks for your responses.Per part four of Rushton Paul's newly released article in 'Positive Feedback', several studios now record in DXD or DSD128.Whereas arguments for DXD vs PCM devolve on 'what you hear',I believe the res... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Do you know how hi resolution recording is done today ?Are the studios recording to high speed tape or to DXD or to both simultaneously ?As to their vinly offerings, are they mastered from tape or DXD (or other) digital masters ?Thanks for any info. | |
| Sabre dacs versus other dacs Melm,Many thanks. Exactly the information I sought.That said, audiophile comparison of Sabre 9038 implementations(Oppo sonica, Levinson 585 and 526...hope that's correct)with the wonderful Bryston BDA-3's sound (and noting thatreviews in this are... |
