Abe is correct.... I've been complaining about RFI in active digital audio playback for roughly 20 years.......
My infamous post when I was a relative newbie here.... 14 years ago (link)..... I really, really believe that the RFI from digital audio products has by and large whacked how the we all enjoy music..... I think it is largely responsible in the loss of interest in both "timeless" music (everything is now "disposable") and in high-fidelity sound reproduction.
Which in turn has introduced "gimmicks" into performance that initially impresses unsuspecting listeners, but over time leaves just about everybody cold.
The only saving grace is that vinyl has survived.
I will be investing in a Tascam 122 MkII cassette deck. (The Nakamichi decks I've had over the years just aren't reliable.) I want to record a few CDs to metal tape, and listen to the music without any active digital processing going on..... Of course, there will be degradation in the tape recording/playback (cassette is in itself a compromise), but I want to find out if taking RFI out of the equation really impacts how I perceive music that I've only known in its digitized state.
