This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King


Look at this old, old, Video on YouTube. Man, Neil Young and Michael Fremer look young! Even in 1993 the writing was on the wall; analog really was and still is today, superior to digital! Try this link:

Too funny!

Michael Fremer was never young. His real name is Abel. He faked his death and framed his brother Cain for his murder.

When looking closely at the CD format, problems seem to occur when there are massed high frequencies. It doesn't seem like CD sampling rates could properly record things like massed strings. High frequency harmonics would seem to be lost or misread. But that's just my opinion. CD proponents would say that those differences in hf harmonics are not in the audible spectrum (I think they are). But they would be if the resulting [erroneous] recorded signal would be in the audible spectrum. Is this the grain we hear in massed violins on CDs?

I agree with Shadorne's noise floor comments.
Mr. Fremer,

running that video clip at the start of your TT seminars at RMAF would be great fun I think; attendees would get a really big kick out of that...

Guess we will see you there in October; looking forward to it again this year!
I'm not trying to spin the same wheel again, but, I for one am not convinced that any medium is king. There are so many more important things that need to be taken into consideration to make quality recordings, than the medium itself. I'm not even convinced that vinyl is the king of analog, never mind all the other options.
