We felt it necessary to break down the two recording methods to give you a better understanding - so the next time you’re in a heated audiophile debate, you will have more ammo to hold your position. DIGITAL VS ANALOG RECORDING PROCESSES No matter which recording process used, analog or digital, both are created by a microphone turning air pressure (sound) into an electrical analog signal. An analog recording is made by then imprinting that signal directly onto the master tape (via magnetization) or master record (via grooves) – from which copies can be made into cassette tapes and vinyl records. Digital recordings take that analog signal and convert it into a digital representation of the sound, which is essentially a series of numbers for digital software to interpret. After the analog signal is digitalized, the recording can be copied and placed onto a compact disc, hard drive or streamed online. AUDIO BANDWIDTH Bandwidth is the ability of a recorded signal to be reproduced at varying degrees of resolution. Think of it like enlarging a low-resolution image versus a high-resolution image. After a certain point, enlarging a lower-resolution image will become pixelated and difficult to see, where the hi-resolution image will resize clearly. Like images, audio signals can have a limited bandwidth if recorded digitally. Once a digital recording is made, the bandwidth is set in place. An analog recording is considered unlimited. Therefore, it can move to a higher and higher resolution without losing its original quality. Why does bandwidth matter? It really depends on what you’re listening to your music with. If you have a pair of overpriced earbuds that cost $8 to make but you paid $200 to cover the company’s advertising budget, then you’re probably ok with any mediocre bandwidth. On the contrary, if you’ve invested in quality audio reproduction speakers (like the Klipsch Reference Premiere series speakers) – the greater the bandwidth, the greater potential you have for sound. SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is the amount of noise generated by the recording’s signal to your speakers. Digital recordings can have a greater signal-to-noise ratio depending on the bit depth of the recording. What the hell is bit depth, you say? Think of a sound wave in a digital recording format to looking more like a set of stairs, rather than smooth hills The digital wave must walk up and down stairs, as opposed to smoothly roll over hills. This jump in elevation can create a digital noise. The smooth analog signal matches the recorded sound wave better than the steps of a digital recording. However, the analog medium (vinyl or magnetized tape) the recording is imprinted on can have tiny imperfections that cause cracking and popping noise.

where in the dacs ?

the needle doctor and l.p. gear.. are good reference for cartridges.. l.p. gear goes a little further in known factory installed cartridges.. on turntable makes and models... so it looks like check the cartridge for brand and model....and take from there... I hope this helps you and anyone else.....

l.p. gear....here's the page for that table... https://www.lpgear.com/product/JVCSLF066.html STYLUS FOR JVC L-F66 L F66 LF66 TURNTABLE The JVC L-F66 L F66 LF66 turntable was not fitted with a phono cartridge. For us to assist you further, we need the cartridge brand and model number. This info is usually inscribed on the cartridge and stylus. If you cannot identify, please contact us for a replacement phono cartridge suitable for the JVC L-F66 L F66 LF66 turntable. Please note: For units sold outside the USA, Canada and UK, the JVC L-F66 L F66 LF66 turntable was often fitted with a JVC MD-1025 MD1025 phono cartridge and a JVC DT-Z1S DTZ1S needle stylus.

don't know about your buds...I'm not a kiss fan....but they do put on a good show...where Ted opened for them... the only 2 albums the i can recommend from ted .. is free for all , and double live gonzo...

Ted is a very underrated guitarist.. I forgot what show...it was... either he opened for Alice Cooper.. or the head liner....Ted was in a blaring solo. paused for a nano second ... and said " Gerry Garcia your turn...oops that's right your dead.. " then back to the solo... it was full steam ahead from start to finish...there were no breaks between songs....Ted gives you what you pay for...to see him when you can...

uncle Ted the Detroit city madman !

I stand corrected.... http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/messages-in-the-deadwax.92671/ On some pressings of Robert Fripp's "God Save The Queen / Under Heavy Manners," the dead wax had MUSIC IS THE CUP WHICH HOLDS THE WINE OF SILENCE on one side and ART IS THE CAPACITY TO REEXPERIENCE ONE'S INNOCENCE on the other. On other pressings of the same album, one would find NEW MUSIC IS NOT A STYLE, IT IS A QUALITY on one side and ALL SUCCUMBS TO THE FACE OF PERSISTENCE on the other.Robert Fripp's League of Gentlemen album has THE NEXT STEP IS DISCIPLINESome copies of Robert Fripp's "Exposure" have 1981 - IS THE YEAR OF THE FRIPP on one side and THE AIM IS FREEDOM CONSCIENCE AND TRUTH on the other.

I've always noticed on fripp albums.. there's always something in the dead wax....if I remember on god save the queen...it's fripp save the queen

DGM’s tribute to the mighty bass guitarist that was John Wetton. Recorded in the run-up to Exposure Fripp, Wetton and Collins make such a mighty roar together on this audio snapshot. With the famous Wetton crunching bass well to the fore and Phil Collins’ agile work around the kit, this is easily the best jazz-rock power trio that never quite existed. Hearing these three world-class players adapting to each other as the notes and ideas hurtle past their ears is both a pleasure and a privilege. Available to download here

what's the secret message inscribed in the dead wax ?

have a $5 off coupon ...for a 40oz bag...that makes $12

love empty glass....

nice brother John....any vinyl hunting going on ?

I guess it's time try to join in on all the fun...

that's why I stay away from it... I remember buying it 25 years ago... and hated it for it sound quality..
