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

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.

Information data is not perceived sounds,  purely objective perceived sounds are not musical sounds, and musical sounds are never subjectively evaluated and perceived in exactly the same manner by all individuals in any environments....

Subjectivity versus objectivity is an obsolete scientific false debate for almost a century now....Immmanent participation of all consciousness is the new paradigm in science....

Like in many audio forum debates about cables for example, the analog/digital debates, defenders and opponents are like 2 cats reading the other’s grin with a replicating grin, and the 2 cats disapearence at the end let only their 2 grins mimicking one another, without any cats anymore like the Cheshire cat in Lewis Carroll....


The repudiation of subjective perception has no scientific meaning at all, and reduction of subjective perception to a "so called" objective one no ultimate meaning....Only a dialogue is meaningful but on the basis of the ultimate irreducibility of individual perception to any numbers there is....

I will repeat myself, " In a word, i value all the very interesting informations in the last post of rauliruegas and if i think about it i think that he is right....BUT i trust the impressions of mikelavigne, the testimonies of his friends, and his long time dedication on his very refined audio system.... THEN...." :)

Dialogue between people not pretending to be right and others wrong is the only interesting way.....

mahgister,

Interesting comments, as ever


"Information data is not perceived sounds, purely objective perceived sounds are not musical sounds, and musical sounds are never subjectively evaluated and perceived in exactly the same manner by all individuals in any environments...."

No one’s arguing with that, are they?



"Subjectivity versus objectivity is an obsolete scientific false debate for almost a century now....Immmanent participation of all consciousness is the new paradigm in science...."

Since when?



"Like in many audio forum debates about cables for example, the analog/digital debates, defenders and opponents are like 2 cats reading the other’s grin with a replicating grin, and the 2 cats disapearence at the end let only their 2 grins mimicking one another, without any cats anymore like the Cheshire cat in Lewis Carroll...."

Yes, but one cat is armed with measurable data which stands up to repeated testing. The other isn’t. If progress isn’t built upon technology and science, then what is it built upon?
Some vague notions of consumerist faith, belief and superstition?



"The repudiation of subjective perception has no scientific meaning at all, and reduction of subjective perception to a "so called" objective one no ultimate meaning....Only a dialogue is meaningful but on the basis of the ultimate irreducibility of individual perception to any numbers there is...."

Yes we’re both free to perceive and interpret any way we want to, but we’re discussing the differing merits of tape, digital and vinyl playback (and recording). Or are we not?



"I will repeat myself, " In a word, i value all the very interesting informations in the last post of rauliruegas and if i think about it i think that he is right....BUT i trust the impressions of mikelavigne, the testimonies of his friends, and his long time dedication on his very refined audio system.... THEN...." :)"


If you wish to trust individual testimonies ahead of data then that’s your prerogative, but how does that help us decide which format is the most accurate?



"Dialogue between people not pretending to be right and others wrong is the only interesting way....."

In this instance, since a question was posted, dialogue must involve acknowledging other opinions before making a judgement, must it not?


Best wishes to you my friend
