Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other

Good question! Maybe you can answer it as being non-technical on the topic has never stopped you before.

How can a non technical person be expected to decide which argument is correct. Answer at 11. Cue glubson for clever retort.

Oh, geez, two snappy retorts in a row. Be still my heart. Which illustrates what I’ve been saying all along, two 1/2 wits doesn’t always equal one whole wit. 😳😳 it’s nice to know I can always count on you two knuckleheads for something stupid. In robberrttddidd’s case probably too much time in front of an oscilloscope fried his brain. 🍳 We can probably blame the public school system on glubson.

Mystery solved. Thank you! 

Dear @roberttdid @cd318 : "  there's also this issue of how an individual brain processes the sound. "

Our brain " reaction " to any stimulus or condition is surrounded by many factors that constantly makes the brain perceive or react in different ways to the same kind of " stimulus ".

In other thread where the subject is direct drive/idler drive and belt drive TT designs and which is better in between Mike was posting there because he owns all those kind of TTs diferent drive designs and because he owns the best of the best on each TT kind of drive.
Some one asked how he choose the one to his listening sessions that can gives him the higher enjoyment and his answer was something near this: " depending of my mood ".

Our mood or stress levels and factors like these affects directly the brain response in that moment to what we are listening.

For me subjectivity is valid when it matchs an objective fact because in this condition the fact proves that subjective issue.

Facts are and have permanency and does not changes if everything the same but subjectivity is a focus of several levels of changes that depends of many other subjective issues.

The real imposibility by any cartridge to pick up the full information recorded in the LP surface never changes but what we can listen one day to other with the same recording can change.

In this thread the audiophiles with posted subjective arguments those arguments were not matched through facts that can proves those subjective arguments.

Some one mentioned reviewers and I know some of them ( ST, TAS, etc. ) that are posting in other forums out of Agon as a fact some of them M.Fremer, Seydor, Atkinson did it here in Agon but they don't do it anymore mainly because here we are to direct and the high knowledge level audiophiles that exist here always were questioning the reviewers opinions and several times they just can't answer.
Why made I this comment?, because some of them read some Agon threads.

Could be interesting to know the points of view of MF/others in this specific dialogue and if they have some information that we are not taking in count because several audiophiles and newcomers take their opinions as they guide that some times is really a misguide.

Anyway, trhough this thread I confirmed information I already have it and learned/enhanced those information and learned new " issues " that I never took in count for my overall opinions in this specific subject. Thank's for all those.


Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
