Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

mijostone,

My ESLs are one way. No crossover.

Well than you are pretty well off. If you point the ESL to your ears like sanders recommends with his speakers than you do not have much room influence abouve 100 HZ at all especially for esl line source speakers. Probably that is what you doing anyway. In this case when it comes to timing and correct phase you are already ahead of all speakers which use passive crossovers. Whatever the speaker manufacturer comes up with they start from a loosing point and can at best only accomplished what your no crossover speaker does from the start.

I am aware of the differeneces which between left and right speaker could accour. Of course I never experienced what it would meand to have exact same speakers. But Is it really benefitical to add a AD/DA additional calculation only to squeezed out the latest bits and pieces of the speakers? I wonder.Additional some authors said that our ears get used to the room the speakers are in and to correct what the brain already corrects may not be without disadvantages. mean above 100 Hz.

But I would like to hear such a solution - for sure :-)

Yesterday I again put one of the worst record on my turntable. I do not talk about K-Tel records and the like with their lowest possible HiFi sound.
Again I cannot get really in touch with this record. Sometimes it seems to work, a kind of, but most of the time I am detached. There is something really wrong with the recording. The bits and pieces are somehow unconnectet. All sounds rather artifical. Most worse is the piano. This is not a piano. This is something. A space instrument. The sax is o.k. Now before you hit me :-) I will mention in defence the record is only a "nice price" pressing. But I have other "nice price" pressing which are very good.The record is often used even as a reference recording by some. I really wonder why. It is Joe Jackson body and soul.On the back it is listet that it is a digital recording. Now I know that today digital records are much better, but still, for me the recording shows that digital at the start was inferior to good all tape recording. I wonder why such a format could take of.
Well we all have lustet for something new. I remember selling all my vinyl at that time.

Really. You are judging digital recordings by K-Tel?    Who knows how many records they pressed per press master. K-Tel was the AM radio of records.

I’ve been spending a lot of time and money on the digital end of my system lately to the exclusion of records completely.
I just put on a record.

WOW!
