Lies about vinyl vs digital

Lie: vinyl suffers from heavy dynamic compression — so why do my LPs display vastly better dynamic power/force?

Lie: vinyl has less resolution — macro resolution is greater in my digital that’s true, but why is inner detail and tonal color so much better on vinyl?

Lie: vinyl suffers from a lot of distortion — perhaps, but why do my LPs sound more live and lifelike than my digital?

 

So what’s going on here?

 

Could it just be that *your* digital rig sucks??

current digital SOTA which in my experience can be substantially better than analog in most regards.

 

+1 IMO it has been that way for many years now.

As ever your contribution might as well have been scripted as demonstration that being an audiophile is less a hobby than a way of life based on the rigorous pursuit of nonsense, superstition and self regarding vanity.

 

 

hey, we are all audiophiles, if you are interested in the playback quality of music.

Back in the 80's, my vinyl system was so sucked and with the debut of CDs and CDP,  with the same price, I had a better SQ.  Since then, I never looked back at the LP expecting it to improve whereas the digital gears and music are improving day by day. 

 

Yes digital is better than LP.

You have the LP of Avatars?

My digital source is better than most members' of CA. Just being real.

 

So then that only leaves.....your ears suck ?

GUTB, there is nothing in there that implies good sound. I am serious.

I count 9 explicitly sound degrading matters in there. Yes, I am still serious.

I still like a thread like this better than any of the MQA threads.

 

What have you got against fanatics preaching to themselves in a close knit circle, circle something or other  ? ??

I am an audiophile that has over 50 years of experience setting up and listening to various systems, both analog and digital and I find your statements to run contrary to hands on experience, and also to simple logic. Digital beats the pants off of analog for dynamic range and sound staging every time. Even on a modest system you can hear the benefits of digital over analog, but the better the system the more obvious the difference becomes.

 

I agree. Digital has surpassed vinyl IMO for a great many years. The initial introduction was far from "perfect sound" but IME by the late 90's they were getting quite close. Dynamics were better in digital but it somehow messed with the mid-range in the early days.

I think everyone here has heard music at audio shops and audio shows. So stating someone's audio sucks is pointless. 

 

Agreed. It was said 'tongue in cheek'.😀
