Sorry Marios but, in my opinion and in my opinion only, simply the case of synergy between the treble characteristics of vinyl and the treble characteristic of electrostatic earspeakers (oooh, I said it) is not why vinyl sounds better than digital.

I did not claim that!

I said that this is one of the reasons vinyl makes a great synergy with STAX electrostatics and sounds good together. Just that.

Vinyl sounds better than digital for a lot of reasons.

Though most people prefer digital for other reasons...

This is what i said.

And this was reffering to this statement

Quote:

Stax was made for vinyl playback

It doesnt make sense to claim that I said that because there was no points expressed claiming that vinyl sounds generally better than digital etc. What was said was that specifically vinyl with stax sounds better than with other media.

So I did not!

 

[pspivak]

did too.
