PC Rules

Kurt_tank,your first paragraph is 100% correct. The only thing that's relevant to this discussion is the computer interface. With this interface, you would get the same results. When there is a demand for this product, it will appear.

What I did, is not rocket science; upgrading components by replacing capacitors isn't new.

Please believe me, I'm not trying to be brash; when you think about your question, and my answer, you'll realize this.

So exactly how did you A/B your testing? How were you set up to be able to switch back and forth so you could at least directly compare your direct-analog-to-analog vs. analog-to-PC-and-back? And how did you handle or control for temporal variations, stuff like that?

Sorry for all the questions, but I was always taught that human perception and associated memories - visual or auditory - followed certain approximately equal patterns. And yes, that does ultimately equate "ear-witness" testimony with eye witness testimony (which is now one of the worst bits of evidence to have to use for a conviction...). I'm guess I'm just curious about how folks reach conclusions such as you've described and the processes and testing used to get there. Thanks!

"if you're not getting the same results..." I guess i wouldn't if i had a decent Phono box for the stereo.
Which I do. end of story.
Funny how folks think they have a lock on the world in thier own backyard.
Now if you said this is what happened to you, and upgrading the caps is a good idea, Fine. But to say this is the better solution and is THE solution for everyone, LOL.

"The only thing that's relevant to this discussion is the computer interface."

What? So, you are saying that the computer interface is making the LP sound better than the LP itself? Not on this planet.

Maybe his new interface is a "hot stamper".
