    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    You can have far more dynamic range if the recording is done digitally and played back on a digital system as opposed to taking an older and limited analog recording and transferring it to digital media. Many of these transfers are overly compressed and filtered to lower the noise floor and...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    Um I'm not talking about adding an ADA and DAC into the mix. I'm talking about making a recording originally on analog equipment and transferring it to digital to a CD as opposed to making the recording digitally and transferring it to CD. There is a DIFFERENCE but you can keep misusing...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    You have truly earned your forum title with this thread. The Phil Collins and Spyro Gyra recordings are from identical releases and masters as the article stated. A digital recording has an advantage played back on a digital media just like an analog recording has the advantage on an analog...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    There are some great songs on the 2nd Phil Collins solo album but I would have preferred to use his first album. I don't have it on vinyl though :( I also have Billy Joel Innocent Man on Vinyl and CD but it sounds like crap on both formats :(

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    Meaningless for the reading illiterate. Meaningful for the participants and those that like to learn about limitations in the recording process not the format itself. Our web traffic is slamming thanks to the site redesign and SEO optimization we did, which had nothing to do with this article...

    Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS review

    No, the tweeter in the Pioneers is much better IMO.

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. I have many incredibly recorded SACD's that rival the sound of anything I have on CD. I suspect it has more to do with the care of the recording than the media itself. I found most SACD's are recorded by "audiophile" recording engineers that don't abuse...

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    Re-read the article. It is discussed and completely ridiculous to suggest a blind test when listening to vinyl records.

    Analog (Vinyl) vs Digital Audio (CD, FLAC) Listening Event Comparison

    I think there is more bass on the Vinyl version, likely do to the EQing process inherent in phono. Great album, perhaps arguably their finest work to date.

    Star Trek "Into Darkness"

    I don't know any Trek fan who has watched the entire 7 seasons of DS9 ever think that show sucked but if you prefer Jar JAr Trek then more power to you I suppose. IMO 40-50% of TNG was cheese, 55% of Voyager was cheese, 50% of TOS was cheese, most of the first and last season of Enterprise...

    Star Trek "Into Darkness"

    I guess I'm just tired of mind numbing action movies with no plot. I really loved the new Batman movies b/c they gave you both story and action. I was hoping for the same with new Trek but that never happened. My hope (wishful thinking) is that Nicholas Myer will come in to direct Star Trek...

    Star Trek "Into Darkness"

    No way man you need to give it a second visit. Once the Dominion War got into full mode it was incredible. The stuff that went on behind the scenes like Sisko plotting with Garak to get get the Romulans involved was incredible. The final episode of DS9 was one of the finest moments in Trek...

    Star Trek "Into Darkness"

    No I don't want to see the original cast come back. The new cast would have been fine if there was a better storyline and director. Also, I'm all for a new Trek series for TV. TOS is NOT my favorite Trek, DS9 was! So many great actors and deep characters came from that show. BTW Galaxy...

    Star Trek "Into Darkness"

    Actually the character development on the latest Trek was probably one of the weakest links in the movie IMO. Khan was so unauthentic and forced into the film. He's probably the best actor in the movie yet he didn't pull it off as if it was a natural part for him. Mccoy and Scotty were used...
