| Just what percentage of digital artifacts removed I think we've debated this topic enough. You prefer vinyl. Enjoy it! I will enjoy my digital. On my system, guitars never sound like birds chirping (except that bit that Duane Allman did on Layla) and kick drums never sound like cardboard boxes. | |
| Re-issue, CD, SACD, Tape....LP....and what studio tapes are being used.... Yes you lose something with each generation of tape.

| Bobby Whitlock on All Things Must Pass. This is a 50th anniversary remix supervised by Dhani. Thankfully for me, Jeff Lynne got nowhere near this project, as far as I know. It will not make your copy of the original mix disappear.According to Dhani, George repeatedly said that he would ... | |
| Question about tubes I don’t know the purpose of each tube in your MD, but unless MD does some extra screening of its tubes, which you would have to ask them about, a low noise, matched set of JJs from Tube Depot should be OK. Manufacturers often ask a lot more for th... | |
| Tube vendors. I won't try to tell you what to buy, audition_audio, but tubes were bulk packed for industrial and military users. So NOS tubes can come in white boxes. | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? I have brushed and flipped more vinyl than many of the vinyl fanatics (I’m old), but I don’t do it anymore. I still have my turntable and vinyl but I haven’t played a vinyl record in a long time. My digital sounds great and I can stream so much mu... |
