Actually 4'33" is a good example. If someone is experiencing black silences with digital that's a sign that the system is out of tune.

Pieces of music that digital can't get right
It looks like you’re comparing two completely different pressings. That introduces a variable that makes drawing any conclusion about the differences between analog and digital invalid. One way to conduct a meaningful comparison is to digitize a good LP. If the digital copy can reproduce all of the LP’s nuances - or not - then you can draw a meaningful conclusion from that. |
michaelgreenaudio Blueranger, your using the same components for both sources. One input is "tuned" to your Table. Your CDP needs it’s own system so you can tune it in to your digital source.I think this is completely mistaken. A properly set up system can play analog and digital recordings equally - within the limits of each format. Over the years, as digital has continually improved, I have found that good digital and good analog sound increasingly alike on my system. The notion that each source requires its own system is really misguided, imo, and suggests that neither system is sounding its best. Old proverb: A man with two clocks never knows the correct time. |

You aren't controlling for the differences in how the source discs came to be produced. A digital copy of a needle drop will still be producing the unique qualities of the analog. I don't see any way of really comparing apples with apples. There are always differences introduced into the recording or processing chain before the medium gets to whichever player. |
