Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"

I have no preference... I chose digital for his immense practicality... It take me time to make it sound "analog" like....I succeed...

I cannot have 10,000 vinyl in my house... 😁

I hate the obligation to change the faces of the vinyl...

My last vinyl was popping after 2 listening...I throw it ....



I only refuse to assimilate all timbre recognition being the same in all cases and conditions and circonstances, invoking only signals theory....
Timbre naturalness perception is linked to many factors and cannot be reduced to an alleged vinyl or digital superiority... That is my point.... Anyway all the audio chain is a mix of analog and digital elements...

No dac beat all turntables, and no turntables beat all dacs in ALL rooms for all ears whatsoever...

By the way blind test are limited in what they can prove....Our link to some specific circonstances and environment for the identification of timbre make these test not completely decisive by principle...In my own room and with my system i can detect easily some aspect of sound i will be unable to identify in a new blind test environment...All identification processes are a learning process connected to an environmentally based usual living experience....

Happy new year...

Not bad audio2design. I doubt it will work. Lets go get a drink:-)

I didn't read the article, so I can't comment on it. But once upon a time there was really only ONE format, and turntables and cartridges were easy enough to use, adjust, and replace as necessary. Records and record stores were everywhere. So you could listen to them, borrow them, bring them to parties, and everyone could share their favorite tunes with friends and also make new friends. You got to listen to a lot of music that way without owning hundreds (thousands?) of records yourself. The universality and convenience was truly extraordinary. Then new technology came into the picture and long before it was iimproved upon the vinyl records disappeared and made the situation extremely frustrating for those who HAD to have new music but also had to buy new equipment with either few problems or a lot of problems (skipping, distortion, unable to read a disc or unable to read the last song, etc.).
Eventually digital got very very good, but not for $200 - what a Garrard turntable with cartridge used to cost.

Great post...

But just a remark to say that my audio system, digital based, cost me 500 bucks with 2 used vintage components and will put to shame some others system way more costly...

Dont upgrade anything learn how to embed it right....

Happy new Year....

Look if your going to be mahgister, it has to be for "Peanuts" and what happened to Groucho Marx?

I looked at your room. For the first time.  PLEASE don't take this the wrong way.

I'll keep studying. I'm pretty sure that if my system had to look like that, to sound right. I would have to take out a loan. That is one for the books... 

I'll donate the first 100.00 for the cleaning person and another 100.00 towards gear... The snakes from the ceiling have got to go, though..
Maybe a priest too..for good measure.. little holy water (sparingly). :-)

I though it was a scene out of, Jason and the Argonauts, Xfiles, Fox News and maybe a touch of  "The Crystal Cathedral", for good measure.

Wow..

I'm pretty sure I'm going the OTHER direction, less is better..

embeddings sure are messy... mahgister, I think I'm gonna have to pass on that way of doing things. That image will NEVER leave my mind..
I use to drop LSD, brother.. the good stuff. LSD 25... Close.. Maybe a little more Technicolor. ;-)

Happy New year...
