Analog vs. digital


I’ve found that on my system the digital side is more finely etched than the analog side. Both sound great in their own way, but records just don’t sound so finely defined.
What is your experience?

Poor men who don't realize the digital is a better format than the analog one.

There have been many many 33.3 RPm LPs which were DIGITALLY mastered.

  • Why? At the time, turntable music was still dominant than CD players. So, recording companies had to make LPs but they did know the DIGITAL is both theoretically and practically superior to the ANALOG systems. In order to improve LP's SQ, they included some of digital tech, period!
  • I do listen to LPs still now. Why, there is no CD version of my LPs.
  • If you cannot believe CD is better than LP, then your digital system is of low quality.
  • Most Americans do like bass-emphasized music listening, which means they don't know actual live music produces a lot of high-pitch, etching sound (like CD playing).

A lot of that so called etching is too lively a room that they then fix with a soft analog system. They take an aspirin when they really need antibiotics.

@r27y8u92 Nice to see someone else gets it.

The fact is digital is the superior sounding format, but it’s not without its flaws. There are just fewer of them.

When the technology was new some digitally remastered LP's were poorly done.  It's less of an issue nowadays, loudness wars not withstanding.
