In Reply to: Fremer's ZENITH ANGLE CORRECTION or have we all gone crazy. posted by ecl876 on February 8, 2021 at 21:09:26:
I'm not surprised that correcting zenith error is being pursued by vinyl enthusiasts. In fact, I'm surprised it's taken this long for it to be a "thing". The goal of perfect sound has to include a perfect music player and that starts with perfect cartridges and alignment. You can't fault people for trying. Otherwise, a turntable, tonearm, and cartridge are simply the means to listen to music. If it's really only about the music and not about the quality of music playback then I can't think of many good reasons to bother with vinyl. But I believe with vinyl it's not just about the music, it's about the experience of listening to music. That's why we bother.
The refinement of digital recording and mastering and the availability of high resolution digital albums has put vinyl on notice. There are some outstanding digital albums out there and they sound fantastic. So finding every possible way to improve the extraction of music from the groove of a LP record makes sense. Ironically the pursuit has been made possible with new technologies that include digital photography, digital recordings and computer processing. Having owned turntables for over 50 years I see the continued attempts at improving vinyl playback encouraging. But for now, like you, I'll have to accept the imperfections of my vinyl music player and just enjoy the experience. :-)
