    24 bit Vinyl rip or CD Remaster?

    Maybe I just tend to prefer vinyl over cd's because the engineering/mastering of albums in the past simply outdoes the pro loudness mastered digital of today's average recording?  I do prefer to listen to classics rather than modern music.  With so many opinions and measurements that argue...

    Quote:   I love fragments of nonsense.  Got a problem with that?  Trying to disprove my experience and perception is a waste of time.  As for the cable notion, coat hangers do work nicely .   Also, there certainly is a diminishing return on investment as you climb the ladder of costly...

    Quote:   Only ascertained by my ears.  To me that counts more than any measurements performed and quoted.  I let my ears be my guide.  No disrespect to Ivor Tiefenbrun.   Check out the video below, it gives a basic example of a remastered release compared to the original release.  I...

    Quote:   My ears can certainly tell the difference between many 320 kbps mp3/ogg/aac rips and 24/96 vinyl rips (not just the pops and crackles ).  If you playback said rips using reasonable equipment or headphones, the difference can be noticeable.     Keep in mind some...
