what a bunch of tripe.
we know PERFECTLY WELL what the surface scratches, noise, distortion, uneven frequ response, pops and clicks sound like, thankyouverymuch. let me say that there is more going on in the mind than on the turntable. you see what you want to see and synthesize explanations of the world that fit your belief system. but not everyone is so fooled by this and at least some of us here don't buy this 'reasoning' at all.

I think you have missed all of what music is about if you are at the minutia level of trying to argue that your 'sound' (as done by a mechanical reproduction system) is more true to life or 'authentic'. that's a laugh and you should KNOW that technology has nothing to do wtih music and emotion. you can feel 100% the same level of emotion while listening to a mid end or high end system. its the MUSIC and somehow, the music COMES THRU even on low-fi devices.
if you really believe its the music and not the minutia then you'd not be chasing ever-elusive dragons.
recorded sound will never sound like live sound. the best you can do is approximate and BOTH systems (a and d) have their innacuracies. neither is really a 'true life' experience for me even if you spent $100k on gear.
its a futile search that can't ever succeed. but have fun draining your wallet all the while.

the best vinyl achieves a level of realism and coherence that the best possible cd playback has yet to achieve. |
