audiobliss69 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I must admit I've never heard vinyl reproduced very well, but I'd like to. Well, for that matter, I don't guess I've ever heard digital reproduced all that well, either. One day...my system will do it...one day...

audiobliss69 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Jacksonbart -- James lied about his age because he felt that if everyone knew he was really just 15 he would be ignored and not taken seriously. He's embarrassed about it, and I don't see much point in beating him to death with it. Hey, you've got people around here using sockpuppets and involved in a much higher level of deception, and even though we know they're not "real", no one gives them any grief at all. James was very polite and respectful to me on the phone, and I'd just like everyone to remember what they were like when they were 15. Wrong thread. And I wasn't like that at 15.

That's why you gotta get out and demo other people's systems. In regards to the analog versus digital....I challenge anyone that dislikes the cd redbook audio digital format (44.1kHz, 16-Bit) to participate in a double blind ABX test where one signal path is a straight wire and the other is a straight wire with an AD/DA converter thrown in the middle. If you pass the test then great, I will respect your opinion, but there has yet to be one documented case where anybody has passed the test (at least that I know of). One of my biggest problems with analog is that the sound changes everytime you play it because the playback mechanism physically damages the storage medium.

One of my biggest problems with analog is that the sound changes everytime you play it because the playback mechanism physically damages the storage medium. Record wear is a concern as is stylus wear. In my experience, the wear does not cause an audible change after every listen. Hey, some of us just like the vinyl process. It is obsessive compulsive enough to appeal to a certain side of my personality. To my ears my current vinyl set-up (rega P25) sounds different than the same album played on my CDP (RA Opus 21). Some aspects sound better, some not. Really an album dependant kind of thing. I was raised on CD (and tapes), so I appreciate the change. I'm not interested in reproducing the "studio sound" when I listen. I'm listening for pleasure, not watching a documentary. Opinions may differ, of course.

NOSValves Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 James, Save up some more $ and just buy a new Cd player. Its not worth messing with the one you have to awful much. Some dampening will help and maybe on the cheap you can run up to Radio Shack and pickup some of the stick on equipment feet to help cut down the vibration.
