In Reply to: it depends on the room, the location of the tt, and the tt. posted by mikel on May 4, 2007 at 20:55:15:
During a very quiet passage, between tracks, or with the stylus just sitting in the groove of a non-turning record, a CD-R made while you are "talking" to the record can pick up your voice. The record surface can act as a microphone. That's one reason TT mats can make a difference. Of course, if you whisper sweet nothings, your TT probably won't pick it up, but a normal speaking voice will generally be recorded. I don't know, though, if a vacuum hold-down will prevent this.Of course, the level is low, so this type of direct feedback may not be important in actual listening. But it is there. As for CD-Rs not fully capturing what is on a vinyl recording, I and others have had a different experience from yours. When I synch up a CD-R copy of a vinyl record with the original and play them back blind, sometimes people can distinguish that there two different sources, sometimes not. But even when they can tell them apart, they are extremely close and they are as likely to prefer the CD-R as the original vinyl. I did this not long ago with an excellent Sinatra record that I copied for my wife. After careful listening she finally could distinguish between the two, but didn't know which was which. She slightly preferred the CD-R because she said it sounded more real, like he was in the room.
