Here again Cleeds you are referring to my statement and my statement alone; no one else stated any thing that would incite you to make the statement ... I did not say that there was information which was not on the LP.

I’m not sure to what statement you refer or why you would think it was in response to you. When I respond to someone here, I usually quote them to make it clear. I wish you would do the same. Regardless, there’s at least one user here who seems to claim that an analog tape dub contains information not on the original:

First we listen to the streamed version off the internet and then compare it to the tape I have made from the same digital stream. In every case the tape sounds better, much better. The recording has more depth and richness with an increase in dynamic range ... tape has 80 million magnetic particles per recorded inch available during the recording process we are able to saturate the tape with every detail that is present in a recording. The R2R tape player is then able to reproduce all of that detail that is available in stunning clarity which seems to be not present through a digital player.

If I am reading and interpreting this correctly, I do not believe anybody is claiming that it contains more information than the original.

Rather that the information has always been there but a 15ips tape record on high quality gear reveals some of the hidden or masked details and information that was not audible on the source .

At least that is my take from this so far......

In regard to information present, and not heard clearly; I recall being at a high end emporium and requesting them to play my CD of Santana's "Abraxas". This was my CD; I bought the LP Abraxas when it came out; to say that I was familiar with the album would be an understatement; the background music that had been barely audible on all the rigs I had, was cleanly audible here. There were certain sounds that I have not heard clearly audible before nor since, and that was from a CD.



Keep in mind that this was in a "High end Emporium"; which meant that every detail in audio had been addressed; the electronics were "top of the line" Audio Research, and even the CD player was ARC. The speakers were Thiel, and the price of all that equipment was far beyond my reach, but I heard it on that day.
