Analog and Vinyl: no longer the benchmark

No that's your argument but feel free to fake it anyway you wish , i said none of those limits analog LP from reproducing audio at a high level in the real world , nothing about Having superiority to measured data and metrics ..

But continue to deflect from your 120db DR advantage or hide from listing your high DR recordings , by any measure of order analog TT , FR and DR Is more than enough for your Audio system vs digital ...


Turn up Nov ... Both you and Rex will have the chance to pick out the digital recording ..

:roflmao:

Frequency response, noise, groove echo, channel separation, speed errors, dynamic range, degradation/variability each play come to mind.
That you are arguing that vinyl isn't inferior to by any objective metric other than price, is silly.

That finally sounds like an admission that vinyl is objective metrics inferior. Btw, only strawmen are arguing that vinyl can't reproduce at a "high level", whatever that means to who made it up.
 
Whats that ..? your DR advantage list , wait , what ..!

:)

Dont wash off your cranberry drip , i sense necessity around the corner ...!

Where’s Al M , he has the uncompressed classical music list ..

Both A.Wayne and AJ can’t come (kidding of course). The rest of us will make a serious dent in my scotch and Irish Whiskey stash, listening to music and have fun. Vinyl, digital, whatever.

The exact opposite. I regularly hear a system capable of 120+ db dynamic range, with much lower noise, distortion, higher channel separation, lower temporal distortion, vastly better bass depth and power, than any objectively limited vinyl system regardless of price.

You need to read a bit slower Mr Wayne. All the overexcitement has you hallucinating, i.e. seeing what isn't there. ;)

I said more or less uncompressed. And I think some of my string quartet and piano recordings, for example, are not compressed at all. Outstanding dynamics.

Dammit Mike... I want to come but my wife has already decided that we will be going to Washington then :(....
 
Hey Mike can I come? I will be sneaking the MBLs out the side door while you referee. Looks like you are going to have your hands full.
 
I sold my entire LP collection about 2-3 years ago- something like 30 boxes which was carted away in a lorry and have never longed for LP's again. I have one of two signed LP in storage.

I can appreciate a good TT and be mesmerized by the engineering skill that lies behind TT technology but that is where it stays. I will not invest another cent into the technology.

I will concede that digital on low end equipment might be inferior to LP but with high end digital equipment, digital sources simply outclass the very best LP systems. Snap crack and pop might not be offensive on a small speaker system but on a big rig it pretty much spoils everything for me. I now have more goose bump moments with digital source material than what I ever had with a TT. Add to that the knowledge that digital is just going to get better makes the digital option the only logical choice for me.

The only down side with expensive high end digital equipment is that it becomes worthless relatively fast whereas speakers and amps have a better resale value 5 years later. My take is simple, - I want maximum enjoyment from my current system. The resale value in the distant future, is irrelevant.

There is no such thing as uncompressed recordings

LOL. Can you guess what I'm bringing to the party?
As I said Mr Wayne, bring those trusted ears and the widest dynamic range vinyl you have. I'll bring the truth serum box, p-p SPL measurement mic/hardware and what you think doesn't exist above. We're going to all see about that 19th century tech vinyl vs digital dynamic range thing first hand. ;)
 
I am really enjoying this thread. Proper banter but very interesting. Is good that no-one has resorted to personal attacks. Keep it going! :popcorn:
