Then they realize that walking into a Porsche dealer and buying the most expensive one, a GT model, wasn't a good idea because it isnt soft and smooth and quiet, etc... Which allows people like me to get them used. No electron left behind. Link to comment

Not to mention the GT cars are just damned difficult to get brand new unless you pay a deposit years before the thing is out, and then wait a few more for the 918 owners to get theres... edit: I lucked out on the 991.1 GT3, mine was on the very first boat of them to the US. I had the first in MN. It was one of the initial batch with a bad engine... 😞 No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 @Ralf11 that one certainly has a more classic look to it. I still prefer the Porsche one. Have we discussed whether or not we can enjoy both digital and vinyl? I do. I was just sitting here with my eyes closed listening to the beautiful music coming out of ROON into my MAC7200 and then to my speakers here on my desktop. Definitely enjoyed it as much as I do any vinyl playback. For me I think vinyl has nostalgia and I enjoy the process of playing it. Between Qobuz, my CD collection, and downloads, I have thousands of digital albums. No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Today has been a weird day, and its about to get weirder... I agree with you GUTB. I think Digital has to be taken to a pretty extreme level to match analog. Right now, I appreciate my analog more than the digital and that is probably due to the equipment. No electron left behind.

Digital audio has gotten beyond all that. well I don’t know about you but my new phono amp has elevated my vinyl enjoyment beyond what I get from digital. it’s a personal opinion.

And that being with FPGA where the result of the hardware is predicate upon the software, is there any difference with digital reproduction design other than the imagination of the programmer? I think the answer is that it depends on the goal of the designer. You do make a good point though. No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think vinyl is much more difficult to get right than digital, and for that reason alone a lot of people have moved away from vinyl. Ralf11 1 No electron left behind. Link to comment

No need to spend enough money, to land a nice 2015 Honda Accord, on an outboard tube preamp - the one inside your typical stereo receiver will do the job quite nicely, thank you very much... so long as it didn't fall off a truck. Just use common sense here with the basics, and both your vinyl(LPs, 45s, and 78s) and your ears will thank you. well... when was the last time you set tracking force on a cd?

Popular Post AudioDoctor Posted January 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2020 @k-man my point is that there are ZERO adjustments and futzing needed for a CD player where all those adjustments are necessary for a turntable to even begin to sound decent and not destroy records. If you want the best sound possible you have to set up all the parameters as precisely as possible, clean the record, get rid of static, make sure it’s rotating as precisely as possible, etc... it’s nearly endless. To play a cd you put it on the platter and press play. As an analogy, a CD is a Keurig, a Turntable is a French Press. that makes a turntable inherently more difficult to get good sound out of than a CD player which has zero adjustments. kumakuma and Teresa 1 1 No electron left behind.
