Re: Exactly my point! The RBCD standard has plenty of resolution to make music sound very good. But not great

Hi Joe,

I sold my copy of Franklin Mintâ€™s 100 Greatest Recordings of all time, too much mono and too many recordings of compositions I didnâ€™t care for. Also this helped me clean out an entire rack for CDs, SACDs and DVD-Audios, I now have room of 208 combined of all three formats so I must choose wisely and carefully.

I have in the past not been successful recording LPs to CD-Rs or to 48kHz DAT. I might consider recording them to 96kHz as an experiment. But I now firmly believe the best results are obtained by listening to the original recording. Records when treated with Gluv-Glide should easily last until after Iâ€™m dead, so I no longer see the point. Also I believe that Analog recordings should be listened to in the Analog realm. So since I can play any format except 8 Track I see no reason to record anything except my guitar and voice.

And I know some people record LPs to CDs to listen in the car. I listen to Cassettes in my car, as I donâ€™t like CD in the car especially on the roads in Reno. I have an excellent collection of 125 cassettes so I have got the car listening covered. My Kenwood car deck has Dolby B and 70ms (metal) EQ as well as a frequency response of 10-20kHz and sounds superb.

Thanks for the kind offer though!

I don't think the DVD-S1700 converts DSD to PCM, to me it sounds like it converts CD to DSD. - Teresa 21:02:51 03/15/07 (3)

it almost certainly does convert to PCM - tunenut 13:01:00 03/17/07 (1)

Well I do enjoy the results. - Teresa 17:58:34 03/17/07 (0)
