not so

216.222.249.36

I had all-in-ones that sounded better than any MP3 made- and as good as CD 44/16

even SACD has a thin sound to it

any single-play Sony-Pioneer-Technics table from the 70's will sound better than a CD- I've head at least a dozen of them, and have kept 4, and sold the rest

it's all in the resolution- analog resolution isn't in bits, it's actually the molecules of vinyl or magnetic iron oxide tape- to match that resolution, digital would need like a million bit sampling

how many vinyl molecules go past the stylus per second on a 33 rpm LP ?

how many iron oxide molecules go past a 1/4" tape head at 3.75 IPS in one second ?

millions- maybe billions- of molecules- as bits of information- if you want more "bits" in analog, you make the stylus/grooves wider, increase the platter speed, or make the tape wider, and increase the tape speed- tape at 30 IPS or vinyl at 78rpm can never be equalled by digital-

analog has way more resolution than you can make with a computer program, which basically is what a CD or MP3 is. And the digital screws up the rez and signal in the process, by altering it up/down to mock the sound curve

analog is the REAL soundcurve
