I believe that DSD128 and DSD256 are both very accurate digital formats that can sound even better than vinyl. Most of my favorite LPs have been copied to DSD128 and they sound wonderful to me. Furthermore, I'm even more impressed with the sound of DSD256 from internet dealers like Native DSD. Consequently, I've basically given up on vinyl in favor of hi-rez PCM and DSD.On the other hand, Fremer is probably right about those vinyl enthusiasts who spend $5000 or more on a phono cartridge. They might as well send their cartridge in for evaluation so they can see just how much money they've wasted on an imperfectly manufactured cartridge.
Best regards,

I discovered it while playing a mono LP and I heard the cymbals drop down in volume each time I engaged the mono switch on my preamp. None of my other cartridges exhibited this problem. After measuring the cartridge with my oscilloscope, I discovered the phase-shift began at about 800-Hz and increase to 90-degrees by 20-kHz. The cartridge was a Dynavector XV-1.
