RE: Vinyl article

"Think about that for a moment....isn't that just telling you that the DAC used in the cutting process is superior to what you have??"



So, you're saying the DAC used in the recording process is better than the DAC in my turntable? Last time I looked my tables didn't need one lol. Obviously you didn't understand the part you quoted.

It's been mentioned as part of the digital is better camp that most master tapes used to master records are digital. As such, the argument that vinyl is superior to digital doesn't make sense as its origin is digital. It's this erroneous thinking I was addressing, that an analogue copy of a digital signal will carry over the digital artfacts, this is not the case.

As for returning the original digital signal from analogue back to digital without these artifacts reappearing is naive at best. Binary 1's and 0's are what they are, an unnatural construct of man, nothing can change that. And if you think that with close to 5 decades of interest in this hobby I never recorded a cassette, or lp to digital you would be mestaken. I was one of the earliest adopters of everything digital, even spending $1000 on a laser disc player to rent discs to record on VHS. Making copies of my music has always been a high priority on my list.
