1st press vinyl vs new vinyl something is terribly wrong here

Sam here and what I’m talking about is a very generic sound signature with 1st press vinyl not the mixing or sound quality or the performance but a distinctive stereoness. To my ears 1st press vinyl has stereo + stereo depth perception and new vinyl has stereo + mono depth perception. If I take a digital rip of 1st press vinyl and run it through isotope rx5 phase filter the phasing is 99% of the time different from (L) + (R) channels and when I check new vinyl the phasing is always the same for both channels. If I do independent phase correction for (L) + (R) channels on new vinyl it now sounds like 1st press vinyl.

Sam,
Within your previous thread of “is it possible to make digital audio sound like vintage vinyl”, you stated that stereo depth perception was a term that you just “made up”.  How can you expect anyone to provide a cogent response when you use terms that you yourself have coined?  Oh, sorry, I seem to have forgotten that is not at all your goal.

How’s that “possibly 100-year old piece of wood” stuck in the lamp socket doing nowdays?  Is it transmitting its woodness into your electrical system better than the small piece of paper did, hence making digital sound even more like vintage vinyl?  Please, don’t leave us hanging.  All (or, perhaps none) of Audiogon awaits closure.  Or have you moved on to something that is even more worthy of initiating a, dare I say it, paradigm shift?

Keep on trollin’

Its all about the MUSIC !!!!

Yes qdrone, it's how the original performance is doctored by fools who don't know what they're doing.  In the old days musicians played into a couple of microphones recording direct to hi-speed 1 inch reel to reel.  This recording was cut to LP master.  So what was sung was what you got.  Today the microphone signal goes through all sorts of electronic and digital processing before it gets to your CD.  The result may sound nicer, more exciting, more dynamic range than you started with...higher highs, lower lows, whatever.  And so you may like it.  But it ain't the original performance.  That has been lost forever.
