In Reply to: O'Mally's observation is not surprising. This is why I do not understand this CDR swapping posted by artemus on September 9, 2006 at 06:51:00:

I never claimed a CDR from my vinyl front end would sound in anyones system to sound like it does in my own.

I simply ran a comparison cdr of two cartridges on two different platforms just to see what people thought of the comparison. You can only hear what my two tables transcribe--nothing else.

Inmates with high resolution systems seem to hear what I hear and Inmates with standard resolution systems can often hear something completely different. Plus there are built in preferences in sound reproduction. Many prefer a deep rounded bass line. I do not. I like it taught, extended and highly detailed. Many prefer a softer high end--they do not like to hear the air and the sometime sibilant sounds that go along with this type of transducer.

I make no judgements in this hobby. We all start from some basic place and then move toward what we most enjoy. This is all good in my opinion. I enjoy sharing these cdr's for another purpose, to create a culture where we can hear a cdr of someone's front end in our own system and compare it to what we have.

John Elison being top flight, actually compared my cdr against his own cdr recording he burned. This is actually a better apples to apples comparison since now the comparison is cdr to cdr vs cdr to vinyl.

Many have commented that the real lps played on their system sound better than my cdr. Well it sounds better played back LP in my system by a long shot as well.

This is a limitation of D to A conversion in my opinion. It softens, thickens, and rolls off the LP experience that I enjoy the most.

Don't worry about others opinions on the asylum. They belong to them. I come here to learn, to share, and to experiment with friends and colleagues. If they want to tear me time to time that is fine! I probably deserve it!
