| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD orpheus10,That is what I meant. It must have been wonderful, the best sound ever. I still suspect that today, compared to current players and all these debates about wires, fuses, blacker blacks, wider soundstages, and what not, they would be cons... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD prof,Your inclination to keep things "proper and pure" is understandable. In theory, I am that way. In practice, some records I would have liked to listen to again (after a decades-long hiatus) had to be digitized regardless of the audiophile-appr... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD By the way, I just copied that Famous Blue Raincoat record I had mentioned earlier into digital format (DSD 2.8). If there is a difference, it is not that is negligible. It is that it really does not matter. It is very very small, at best, and tha... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD elizabeth,It is already slowly creeping up. The hippest of the hipsters in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) are already in for CDs and not LPs. The only correction your post may need is that their parents listened to CDs, not LPs.Why did hipster burn his t... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD kahlenz,It was me who mentioned Exile On Main St. I think I have same CD as you do. My record is from 1982. It sounds "perfect" to the point that I digitalized it so it is available for portable devices. My friend agrees. However, listening carefu... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I was just mentioning more likely reason why thrift-stores have CDs. Their distribution is another topic. | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed barnettk,I will follow your results as you are, more or less, aligned with me. Much more than this break-in business, which is suspicious to me to say the least, I am more interested in your finding that new cables sounded different from the old o... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD "Check out the CDs at most thrift stores and you’ll find by and large most of them are reissues that fall under the category of aggressively compressed. That’s because collectors of which there are a great number dump them like hot potatoes."The f... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD That is interesting. A little discrepancy in recording approach. Very far from disinterested party, for sure. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD folkfreak,Thanks. I somehow misunderstood it was all on same record. Makes sense now. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD folkfreak,"Reminds me of the old Linn Analog/Digital issue of tracks from Ossian -- one side recorded analog and the other digital..."The deal would be in finding exactly the same recording, recorded simultaneously in both formats, and then have a... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed "I paid for the 2 day burn-in service from MA."How does this go? You pay for burn-in service and then are told that you need to burn cables in for another couple of weeks? What is the burn-in service for? You are a nice guy and not that hard-heade... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD minorl,I don’t understand why that reissued album is so expensive. It was not that expensive when it was released, I think I paid $60 for it (it is three records in a very protective packaging, almost of Japanese kind). It is not something that I... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD "Digital recording pressed in vinyl vs a digital recording on digital. Now, listen to a real analog recording on analog record vs a the CD of that recording and we can talk."If Exile On Main St. is considered analog, I prefer the record but CD I h... | |
