Vinyl vs. CD & HD from A.C.A...

Hi,

Probably the most favourite subject between audiophiles around the world is the on-going "fight" between analogue and digital. Since the introduction of the CD in 1981 and after some years of the digital predominance, digital seems to have hit the technological roof and analogue is making a strong come back in the last 10 years. Personally all over these years I have made my comparisons with various material and I have concluded them in a paper named Same great music on Vinyl vs. CD....

But some people were telling me that my old Wadia 8/15 pair was technologically outdated and so the comparison was not fair, so I decided to organize in my listening room a blind test between a top digital (whatever that means...) and my analogue gear, with lots of people invited...

See the rest of this very interesting IMHO story here:

- aca.gr/event08-9.htm (with lots of pictures and 10 videoclips covering the event).

I hope you enjoy it...

I also participated at the test and all I can say that in the specific system Analog sounded a lot better than digital which sounded very "soulless" if I could use the word.
I still like both formats though and I think both have a lot to offer.

Regards,

Michael

Dear Christos: It happen that the México Audio Technica owner on those times was/is a close friend of mine and he bring two full Telarc LP collections: one for him and one for me, no CD at all.

Thanks to my friendship with him I not only buy those Telarc LPs but several Audio Technica cartridges some of them that only was on salew inJapan, great times for say the least.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Michael: +++++ " I can say that in the specific system Analog sounded a lot better than digital " +++++

different times but is nice to read that that statement comes from an owner on all digital audio system. This kind of attitude is the one that permit to any one not only grow up but enjoy in a better way the music no matter which kind of source.

Regards and enjoy the music.
