  1. left side analog/lp... right side cd/digital...

    Rather ironic that you use two digital photos to try and illustrate the difference.

    how in the world am I suposed to illustrate continous tone on the computer?

    the idea should resonate, if one can open his mind.

  2. OP, here is an simplification that graphically depicts what happens during most rasterizing/digitization that is not based on vector but rather bit mapping. you can up the rate and depth at which something is sample, it's all about the resolution. the bit depth and sample rate can be so deep that the human being can not distinguish the difference but it will never be continuous tone...

  3. IF, you could find everything on sacd you might have an argument.

    but what we do with our expensive TT's then?

    ... Although, as much as I like my LP of Dire Straights - Brothers in Arms, it was recorded with a Sony 48 track digital recorder.

    Is there anyone who owns both the LP and the SACD and doesn't prefer the latter? I admit, I haven't played the 2-channel version but after discovering multichannel music I haven't had the desire to go back.Fwiw, one of my favorite LPs was Electric Warrior by T-Rex and that is another one that is outstanding on DVD-A and I never remember it sounding so good (although I remember it being" great" at the time).

  4. I wanted to ask about the all to frequent covering of cornwalls, seemingly being covered in Formica... was this an issue that was prevalent/popular back in the 1970's(1962 here), or did Klipsch actually provide Formica covered heritage series speakers back then?

    the reason I ask is, I have seen others with Formica covered cornwalls, and I also have a single set of cornwalls that have been covered in Formica... in what appears to be a mock Brazilian rosewood. it's very very well done and even the face is nicely mitered and covered completely, and could fool an eye(if you were a fool that is), but was this something that was popluar to do back then on the aftermarket?

    I've seen how much work it would take to restore the speakers, for now I think I will just leave them as is.

  5. The K-33's.... theoretically.... are more or less the same. The older square magnets had a different resonance frequency (as I was told...), and were supposedly more desirable.

    If you replace one woofer, you should replace both.

    Also since you have not "fooled" with them; I'd disconnect the woofers and test them with a meter. They should both be 3.75 to 4.0 ohms, and should be very, very close.

    That being said.... You should re-cap the CW's if you have not done so already. Once that's done, then any comparisons within the pairs, or between the pairs may not be valid.

    On my CW's, I have replaced the old K-33's with BEC's CW1526's. Caps were redone during the rebuilds, and now all is matched.

    Cool

    ^ Interesting...

    one pair already has C125's, the other still has 77's. is recapping that difficult?
