I don’t want to get overly pedantic but the question is what’s more accurate; not more musical, more enjoyable, more involving…………

Anyway Marco, you’ve pretty much close the case with your comment...

Without even taking into account the problems with RIAA equalization, tracking errors, bandwidth, groove width etc, a few thoughts for those who voted for vinyl.

Does anyone have a record in...

I’m not sure what this proves.
The quality limiter in such a case will be the A/D converter used to rip from the vinyl. In effect one would be comparing the capabilities of the A/D converter...

I think I fell into the reactionary old duffers club some time ago. I still write letters……:eyebrows:
I don’t have a mobile.
I’ve made three phone calls in the last year on our land line.
We don’t...

I find the view that those who use file based audio playback spend their listening time riveted to the computer screen rather amusing. I make my selection, click on play and my screen turns off 5...

Good grief. That brings back memories of hand winding transformer coils when I was a lad. :)

I’v’e had a few Dacs now, some bought without even listening to them, some on trial and finally when I thought I had at least an idea of what sort of Dac I wanted, my most recent purchase which I...

I think you could integrate a better tweeter into your system without any problems John. You built your speakers I believe and you have an advantage over many in knowing exactly the type of sound you...

Oh, I thought a lot of audiophiles are still listening to exactly these types of systems and believing them to be the very pinnacle of performance. :D

Sure Marco. :)

As system component quality (however one defines this) improves, there is less room for dramatic change.
(see Martins post)
When for example I read about dramatic improvements in...

Well Martin, the mic response will be as good or better than the majority of those used to record with so I can’t see this being much of an issue. :scratch:

Yep, it will be a bit of a problem for...

As I mentioned, I started off with what at that time turned out to be an unrealistic goal of high fidelity to the medium. I think hoping to reproduce what musicians played in the studio or some...

Yeah, well, but.

Lets say the appreciation of fine art is a subjective experience. If you liked a particular picture (forget about how the artist made it) would you get your paint box out and...

Nope, there was no oath and I’m happy to state that no secret handshakes are necessary.

The truth is of course in this instance as others have noted whatever is on the chosen media.

When I...

Using a file based system the oath goes like this.
(For other media insert as appropriate.)

I swear to reproduce the file, the whole file and nothing but the file so help me listener.

Some...

I did write full range in inverted comma’s. ;)

The OP asked for a single transducer that covered the entire audio band. Lets take that to be roughly 14Hz (still audible) to 22KHz (not audible to...

No.
The unit I would be interested in is PsCX8/151

There is of course a 'full range' unit from Volt. :D
It doesn’t quite cover the full audio range, but looking at some of the so called full range drivers mentioned above you may at least get to hear...

Full range, hmm, I don't think so. :scratch:

To the best of my knowledge there isn’t a full range driver in production and never has been. I do not know of a single drive unit capable of giving a...

Are you using ASIO4all?

If yes, have you correctly assigned the output channels?
You need to do this for both foobar and ASIO4all.

You can check in foobar/preferences/output.

Can’t really hear a HiFi in our current Landrover due to lack of roof, windscreen and the feckin chickens in the back.

Bet the chickens would prefer digital though. :D

Oh, I thought the thread was about whether digital and analogue should sound the same to which I answered earlier, definitely not. :scratch:


Great thing for me is I can plug the Benchmark...

Where was I? I’ve been tending our new lambs which involves bottle feeding those who can’t or won’t suckle for various reasons.:doh:

Oh arr, this media being harder to tell apart the better the...

I’ll grant you that my recent experience in vinyl replay is limited but I’ve listened to an awful lot of studio tape replay recently and to my ears the tape replay sounds closer to the mike feeds....

The answer is of course no; digital should not sound like analogue and analogue should not sound like digital.
I’m a bit surprised to read audiophiles writing that the two formats have become almost...
