Rocky, you hanv't heard my modified Wollensak 8-track player, so them's fightin' words. Step outside - 8-tracks don't suck, they rule! Peppy, I will stand by my statement that LP has a greater dynamic range than redbook CD. True, it is gained at the quiet end of the spectrum where digital is simply not recording sounds. Likewise, bandwidth into the ultrasonic and phase response will also be better with the analog media than with CD replay.
How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?
I have recently got out my dad's old Thorens TT (TD 150 MKII) and listened to some of his old classical LP's. I think that it is a warmer sound than CD but I can't get passed all the noise. I asked my Dad and he said it always sounded that way. Am I doing something wrong? Do you just ignore the hiss and pops? Thanks in advance.
