Nordkapp Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Vinyl is not user friendly nor convenient. Therefore, I'm out and always have been. That stuff is for my parents. But, great topic of discussion. Link to comment

I hate to say it but your batteries suck - at least for digital. Don't try to cheap out on the batteries. Get yourself some vanadium salt flow batteries and run the digital system on them. Actually, I was left wondering why not just purchase a top flight, dedicated file player/streamer? Seems like a s#*t ton work to me to have a quiet PC. Link to comment

Nordkapp Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Vinyl is actually a pretty cool medium. But personally, at this stage in my life, i see no need to establish an lp system. I'll have to settle for the fond memories as a child listening to it with my folks. Link to comment

If a digital recording peaks out, it sounds awful. We've all heard it. I have yet to hear my LPs peak out...a crashing crescendo, screaming vocalist, etc., is very loud but no evidence of bumping into a ceiling is present -- obviously you need an amp with enough muscle to follow your speakers through these peaks, but we're talking about the source here. Some of my CDs obviously peak-limited, some are obviously compressed / processed to be loud. Soft sound following by loud sounds is an indispensable component of enjoyable hi-fi -- that's preaching top the choir I suspect, but why are my LPs good at this while my digital sucks at it? Okay guys, help me out. What CDs or digital albums feature powerful dynamics / transients? You asked. Link to comment

OTOH, it too is dynamic range limited, just not as much as the CD layer of the same recording would be or any LP of this work. It's a CD. I own it. https://www.discogs.com/Tchaikovsky-Erich-Kunzel-Cincinnati-Pops-Orchestra-Tchaikovsky-1812/release/2375701 Link to comment
Nordkapp Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Did you watch that video @Ralf11? Pretty neat I thought. Glad I never did vinyl... Link to comment
Nordkapp Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 My 2 cents.......the days of analog rule are over. Finally. Teresa 1 Link to comment
