Have digital players improved

Tmorosk, I see you are still dreaming. This type of discussion is soooooooooo old, you replied in another thread approx a year ago and nothing still has changed. Well maybe your set-up.

I personally have taken digital seriously, having many of the worlds leaders within my system and still vinyl is by far my preference.

I agree with Rockitman's reply saying;

sorry, in my experience digital is not the equal of well sorted analog. I have a hard time dealing with the compressed nature of the sound stage and lack of air around voices and instruments that analog excels with and digital fall short.

I could add to it but why, this topic has been beaten to death and I wonder why the MODERATORS even approve such a new thread.

Please delete it already.

For you who feel there is no differnce please just keep spinning those shinny disc and just enjoy!, far less competetion in getting records.

My red-book:
MBL 1621a transport (List $28K)
AA Ref tube dac (List $13K)
Stealth Sextet AES digital cable between the two.

Wildoats, I do not agree with with several points made in your posting and you must being speaking for your self when you refer to "act offended as if their opinion is what counts and is the only legitimate position" blah! blah!

All one has to do is read some of your past posting and see such along with what you are comparing and say you prefer your red-book, please!

These posting are sooooooo boring and as I have already posted have been going on for years so just read them, why do you need to start up another one, you guys need to just keep on dreaming.

I laugh when I read postings such as yours in responce with your snarky additude switching things arround because such remarks really just demonstrates you are the one feeling this way and suggesting others but your self have an opinion.

My thoughts are you just have not heard such so keep spinning those disc and do enjoy!

I would put my red-book combo up against any posters on this thread as I have heard most and sorry I feel non are in the same league.

That's my opinion and I'm not trying to defend anything nor do I feel offended.

Then I would put on the same vinyl pce already listened to on my RED-BOOK and it's game over I preffer and don't and haven't had one person listen whom differed. Doesn't matter if you are exsperienced or not, it's so blatantly obvious.

In the end I'm after listening and so are you and others so do enjoy!

Merry Christmas! Happy Holiday! and New Year!

Tmsorosk, your thread above and comments made saying;

"Both formats have there virtues and anyone that feels one is superior to the other in every way has not been exposed to enough of both."

Now that's misleading to others reading and a joke! I do agree they are different but the rest you wrote clearly demonstrates you are the one not exposed to enough or just can't hear the difference or just prefer disc which is okay.

and when you wrote;

"If their that narrow minded why are they trolling the digital site's."

This statement is just stupid and clearly demonstrats your true colors.

Kindly enlighten us by providing a list of what you feel are your top 3 prefered red-book players and a list of your prefered 3 tables with arm/cart combo's you have owned or had in your own system comparing these two formats to come to the conclusion you speak of.

This should be entertaining.

Tmsorosk, I found the following thread posted by you so others can read, speaks volumns for it's self showing your true colors.

Since vinylphiles continually cruise the digital site with there one sided opinions telling all that analog is so much better , I thought I would come over here and tell everyone how inferior analog is . I trashed my vinyl years ago and have been happy ever since .
Digital rules .

Rok2id, are you for real? That's your problem then isn't, I call a spade when I see it.

The OP firstly starts this new thread that is so boring and old, all one needs to do is do a search as there are endless ones but then goes onto make some bold statements saying;

"I'm not claiming one format is better than the other"

and says;

"If their that narrow minded why are they trolling the digital site's. I like both, what's their hangup."

this same person just few months ago whom makes it a point to onto a anolog forum on this site and posts;

what do you call that ..... and then you post and this all coming from someone who posted

Surely this is not 'breaking news' I got out of vinyl as soon as the first CD players appeared. What took you so long?

Rok2id

Please, you guys must be twins.

Like I said above enjoy what ever it may be but when I see such postings and others will be reading I feel it's important for such to adressed, if you don't like it too bad move on and don't post.

Rok2id, I believe the forums all and all are very civil but unfortuantely posts can and do set a tone as you are not having a actual conversation verbally.

There is nothing wrong with a discussion and individuals having differences but when I read a thread that has been beaten to death over the years along with reading nonsence and individuals showing lack of consistancy or backing up what they write is just plain annoying.

I enjoy learning and this thread isn't providing anything.

Happy New Years to all!

Tmsosk, that's not a answer, who cares what you have listened to in other set-ups. That's just an easy cop out and clearly demonstrats your lack of credibility.

I see you are not answering my question so I'll ask again;

"Kindly enlighten us by providing a list of what you feel are your top 3 prefered red-book players and a list of your prefered 3 tables with arm/cart combo's you have owned or had in your own system comparing these two formats to come to the conclusion you speak of."

What red-book player are you using currently? Arc Ref8?

"You haven't answered the question about why you troll the digital sites?"

You never asked me a question, firstly you are the troll and your thread posting clearly demonstrates such, you sure can push those keys but try reading some time and you will find your answer in my above responces.
