| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? 3 inch master tape is a fine way to record music but it is going extinct, just like photographic film. I don't think much of it is being made and that which already exists is decomposing. I know that remasters of albums made in the late 60s and 70... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Digital, not cd, has the potential to deliver a bit perfect copy of the original master recording of, say, a 24 bit 192khz resolution recording. I don't know how close we are to reaching that potential at the moment, but I'd guess we're not too fa... | |
| Originals vs. reissues/current issues Slaw, Macdad thinks that everything he prefers is the best and everything else sucks. This is just one of those things you have to learn to let slide on internet forums. I know that is not always easy to do but it keeps highly opinionated people f... | |
| Cd players, Transports and DACS Oh MY Jimbones, just look through the previous threads on best transports and dacs. There are many different opinions about which is best. I think you can put together a list of candidates from previous threads on this topic. You don't need to eliminate... | |
| Are CD players dead Computer audio is not ready for the majority of people yet. Servers and related software are either a little clunky or too expensive and music download selection is sparse. There are people who enjoy trying to figure out why they can't get their c... | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC Believe me, I have thought about how long this will take me. I dread it. ...All that said, I would rather listen to a record than anything else. There is no comparison.Licorice, if those quotes are how you really feel, why would you want to do som... | |
| Why aren't the older members still active ? They got tired of people who were just trying to start arguments posting all the time? | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience I think that digital, including cd, is just beginning to acheive its potential. I think that we will continue to hear significant improvements in digital sound for some time to come. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Now you've done it Mceljo. You know it is politically incorrect to say that digital can sound better than vinyl. Off to the audiophile reeducation camp for you! | |

| Are Disc Players Dead? Timrhu, Macdad is a BIG vinyl fan. I have read many of his posts on the subject. So, knowing that he considers vinyl to be alive, I tried to answer his question about digital discs from that perspective. That is why I referred to vinyl. I have not... | |
| A Walk in The COUNTRY Tom Russell. His early work with the Tom Russell Band is my favorite era but he continues to put out excellent cds.Jerry Jeff Walker. I'd recommend only his early work, up through "Ridin' High".I don't know if either sound like Jamey Johnson, thou... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Cds still outsell vinyl by about 200 to 1 so I think if you consider vinyl to be alive you would also consider cd to be alive and well. | |
| Any experience w/ Conrad Johnson MET150 5ch amp? I think it is a multichannel version of the ET250S amp. The ET 250S is a current Stereophile class A amp. I agree Spearit Sound would be the people to talk to about it. | |
| CD mastering a lost art? I agree that most cds aimed at the top 40 sound like crap, but I find that many artists out of the mainstream put out very good sounding cds. Most of the remasters of classic rock, country, blues and jazz sound very good also. There's more good st... |
