In the analog realm, sound quality depends much more on the quality of the equipment than in the digital realm. The "normal" turntable of the 80s...
I think so too... :) Last year I've spent about €600 on vinyl records, €300 on digital/streaming (Qobuz/Spotify), and €0 on CDs.
Yesss. I find it especially important to give children "analog" experiences so they can see how DIFFERENT a live concert, theater, or opera...
Yes, of course, you're right. When my two daughters were younger, we always had "Analog Mondays." I'd get out my great-uncle's old mechanical...
We'll see... ;-) Of course, digital will always be cheaper than analog—and available everywhere and all the time. But: My records sound—to my...
There's a compelling reason for audio editing and recording on a PC: DSD. Recording and editing aren't possible on a Mac—the operating system...
The nerd's cry of lament: No woman, no CRAY! :)
The best thing about the "Mac or PC" question is that we can even ask it...and have multiple options. This way, everyone can define themselves,...
Hi PulseWave, You wrote within the parallel thread: That's really interesting; I'm watching this right now...answers some of my questions.
Another curious question on the topic: Could it be that the analog continuum of the sound event in space, when digitized—which is a sequence of...
Exactly. :)
Yes, of course. Because the dynamic range of the Karajan tapes will have a maximum of approximately 75 dB, neither the analog (vinyl) nor the...
THAT is an interesting argument - THANK YOU!
Interesting article – THANKS FOR THAT – however, only sound engineer Guy Sternberg says a few words about a direct qualitative comparison between...
Yes – and that's exactly the mystery I'm currently trying to solve. Where do the differences I'm hearing come from? That's why I'm asking around...
:rofl: No – I only use special microphone cables for recording – Sommer Cable Carbokab with Neutrik EMC connectors – because they effectively...
Hi PulseWave, for recording and playback, I use ADDA converters from Merging/Neumann (Anubis and Hapi with DSD) and RME (Fireface UFX+/ADI2Pro FS)...
Okay – that's YOUR experience. I just described my different experience... My musician's ear perceives a loss in both directions – analog storage...
I am a musician (opera singer) AND a consumer. ;) But my current question as a recording classical musician is: Does digitization result in a...
Hi everyone, my Merging and RME ADDA converters can handle a maximum of DSD256 and DSD512 – that's 11.3 MHz and 22.5 MHz respectively at 1 bit, or...
