I used a Tandberg 310? to make live performance cassettes when I couldn't drag me Tandberg 9100 to the site. Although the cassettes sound good, the RR recordings were better and with much lower, unobstrusive tape hiss at 7.5 ips. Now I have a Pioneer 1500 which I can record at 15 ips but I prefer (as do others) the convenience of the Tascam digital recorders at 96/24. I prefer the digital recordings to the cassettes overall. The cassettes did have a wonderful, warm sound presentation. The digital recordings are more immediate sounding and noiseless.
CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl
No comparison, CD always sounds so cold and gritty. Vinyl is so much warmer, smoother and has better imaging and much greater depth of sound. It’s like watching the world go by through a dirty window pane when listening to a CD. Put the same LP on the turntable and Voila! Everything takes on more vibrancy, fullness and texture.

@rauliruegas Do it a favor and don't be foolished by vinyl, no way my friend. Today year 2019 digital is way superior to and from here ahead the digital distance between it and vinyl will be wider and wider because analog developments stopped to grow up as technology several years ago and digital is still growing up and even we can think is endless in this trend. You you didn’t get the point. This is a debate on CD vs Vinyl. Not DSD vs Vinyl. CD is a dead media format. Vinyl is still in production and increasing at a compound rate every year. |
@rauliruegas But at the end we are talking of digital against LP/analog alternatives. Remember too that today CDP comes with 32/384 DACs or at least 24/192 and this is a characteristic that makes everything different when you listen to any CD. CD is CD. What you put in is what you get out. If you are trying to compare another format to vinyl, that’s a different discussion. |
