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

I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!

Was my OP a "Pandora's Box" or a "Sorcerer's Apprentice"? Oy.
Whatever the right metaphor, Happy New Year, everyone.
Oy? Hilde45, you give yourself away. 

Happy New Year Pisano and to everyone.
embeddings sure are messy... mahgister, I think I’m gonna have to pass on that way of doing things.
The most important thing in audio is a dedicated room...
Luckily i could afford one...

You have seen nothing.... Trust me...I dont have put photos of the last months...

You must understand that on these forums and on others, nobody has advise me about these embeddings controls, i had to create them myself systematically in the mechanical, electrical and acoustical dimensions...All people only advise their products of choice, not much anything else...It is interesting to read but of no avail at all to create a top system...

Here all people sell something then , literally and figuratively; i know by experience after 2 years of experiments that a more than good audio system is not mainly dependent of the new electronic design progress but for all of us ordinary mortals, and even for those who can afford the costliest system, dependent mostly of the embeddings controls...But who knows really that here? Almost nobody, they all boast for dac or turntable superiority, or amplifier design quality etc...



I know what i learned after thousand of hours...Not reading reviews but by listening trials experiments...

Buying a new product is available to anyone, but this dont gives us the optimal S.Q. at all...

Few people really know that by experience...

Then i understand your smile....But for me the goal was not possible by connecting beautiful esthetically new electronic design pieces right of the box....

A dreamer can dream or make his dream true.... I succeed...Even my wife who dont give a dam about audio is amazed by the sound trnsformation of my modest system...

For 100 hundred peanut butter jars approximatively, i live with a piano filling my room with perfect tone decays....

Who here can say that?

And it is not the dac or the turntable that can do that by themselves in virtue of their reciprocal alleged superiority, it is their rightful embeddings...




Happy New year and may God create for you after making you the healthier man and the happier also...

In your case, i think God succeed for at least the last part....😊 For the rest, i dont know...But i wish you the best of all worlds...

All beginnings are Pandora’s box and all this almost always end in Sorcerer’s apprentice dance, why?


Because all beginning’s manifest themselves as art before becoming a science and at the end, becoming mostly a technology...

In the beginning comes the poet, after come the great scientist and at the end the technocrat...

Why is this so ? Because the great scientist can think poetically but speak prosaically...

The technocrat think and speak a dead prose... This resume the story of science and civilizations...


«I deduce that sheeps always speak prose in any language»- Groucho Marx


Thanks hilde45,for these marvellous metaphors.... I wish you the best God can create.... Happy New Year....😊
