In Reply to: RE: Comparing vinyl sound to hi-res digital remaster posted by John Elison on May 08, 2017 at 20:21:33
BUT, JOHN, IN THE WORD "ESSENTIALLY" IS CAPTURED EVERYTHING!!!!
It really is. I myself could not tell the difference between my own DSD128 recordings and the vinyl initially. But once I learned the differences over long-term listening, I could. Reliably. And I figured this out when I began searching for the explanation for why the recordings were just never quite as fulfilling/had some fatigue that the analog source did not.
Follow Ups:
I find my digital recordings of vinyl just as fulfilling if not more so than listening to vinyl itself. My goal is listening to music -- not in listening to my audio components. My audio system is a tool for listening to music . It is not an end in and of itself. There is no audio system in existence that sounds exactly like live music; therefore, I don't bother deluding myself about small differences. However, I experience no listening fatigue with hi-res digital, and especially not with DSD.
To each his own!
I take your experience for what it's worth, but you might have missed my point. By no means was I LOOKING for a "reason" to declare the direct vinyl better - on the contrary, I'd already sold my whole setup by the time I realized that it was just not quite as *musical* - as natural, that is.
I've gotten used to digital and it sounds very musical to me, especially well recorded hi-res digital. Of course, I like both vinyl and digital, and I wouldn't want a system that didn't include both.
Best regards,
John Elison
