Exactly. Both formats are capable of great sound. Digital is capable of a bit better than vinyl.
Bass generally has a very long decay. The attack exists several octaves up from the bass note fundamental. I think he's making it up. Bass imbalances are easily measurable as frequency response.
Well, I'm talking about how one comes to know things about audio, and I think that the knowledge one gains is most useful by experiencing the whole chain; being present for the recording and listening on a monitor system, then listening on one's own system. I got a chance to do this once. I'm saying that's probably the most useful and secure way of learning what you are doing and what patterns to listen for. Everything else is a guess, although this guessing must be done (usually) when putting one's playback system together.
What's the appropriate level of reductionism for discussion here?
I can EQ in a lot of bass but that wont fix a hypothetical problem with my gear.
The other non-science forums have a ban on DBT discussions, so it would seem appropriate to think discussions here in the science forum should at least make some effort to apply a bit of reductionism to their subject.
I kinda thought that we were being given the opportunity to answer the question posed in the thread title for ourselves.
