RE: Now you are just being silly

To Analog Scott:

No classical/jazz record label (in the world) uses analog recording. No pro studio uses LP to hear their masters. Analog recording is a lossy system - that is un-contested.

I said "false" because Valin said digital "cannot sample music correctly". FALSE - it does.

There is a reason why most folks dumped LP - it is NOT a high-quality format.

In order of accuracy, here is a list of playback systems. My opinion of course.

Solid-state drive w/ digital amplifier (digital pulse-widths, not analog switching-amp commonly reviewed)
Solid-state drive w/discrete R2R DAC
Hard-disk w/R2R
Optical disc/CDRs w/R2R
Any digital drive w/hybrid DAC
Analog tape 30 ips
Cylinder
45rpm/78rpm
LP -idler drive
LP -direct-drive
LP -belt-drive
Cassette/8 track
