In Reply to: WRONG Digital Audio IS staircase, dither (analog noise) is added to the digital signal to smooth out the rough edges posted by Teresa on September 13, 2006 at 21:27:02:
do me a favor and measure the freq response from a scully westrex cutting head at 331/3 and then we can talk. it gets really funny above 8k.

Also there are other types of reproduced Analog besides LPs what about the 2 Track/4 Track 7 1/2/15 IPS Reel to Reel analog formats many of us, me included own as well?I've never cut records but based on what I hear the best LPs sound like they compensate for any inaccuracies in frequency response of the cutting machine.
All one has to do is listen to the best recordings available in each format to confirm, it is really that easy.

you are right about the ebst recordings, but we may disagree because i think you are biased to an extent. you had a mastering place?
It was called Aesthetic Audio and the recordings were from Merlin Fidelity + of the UK they were Direct to Stereo. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab duplicated the cassettes for me on BASF chrome in Real Time from my 2 Track 15-IPS Dolby A Master copies. I never released any LPs so I am not familiar with the cutters.BTW nothing I have ever heard sounds as good as a 15 IPS reel to reel.
