In Reply to: Will my CDs ever sound as good as vinyl? posted by ggking7 on March 8, 2012 at 07:29:04:
I have heard dramatic improvements in digital sound in players and servers and think there is no question that playing from a computer is superior. I recently had a chance to hear an old Marantz cd player. Having once had this unit, I must say that it is hard for me to tolerate what I heard and surprise that I ever did.
All of that not withstanding, my vinyl playback, also with great improvement over what it used to me, just is shockingly superior. At this very moment I am suffering with an air pump that doesn't work to allow my using my airbearing and tonearm turntable. It should be only a few days now until I am up and running.
Perhaps HD recordings will close the gap as I have heard some that clearly are superior.
The only thing that I can clearly say about digital is that it is convenient. I use an Ipad with the remote app and can merely touch what I want to play and have it. Compared with playing the superior 45 rpm records, this is so convenient that I often think of digitizing my 45s onto my harddrive and just sit back and touch all four disks of these and hear all replayed. This would also have the advantage of hearing them with a digital RIAA correction.
