RE: "All recordings have their own individual sonic issues and virtues."

Posted by Analog Scott on March 16, 2017 at 09:55:38:
IMO the problem isn't digital. It's the very nature of audio recording and playback. Many analog/vinyl colorations, some inherent in those media and some unique to the specifc gear actually give us some compensation?fix for those inherent weaknesses in audio recording and playback. This is a wonderful seredipitous thing in the case of the media and a wonderful designed thing in much high end vinyl playback gear. I think this muddies the waters however when it comes to cause and effect. IMO, IME this leads to the idea that digital is doing something wrong when analog is actually doing something unexpectedly right.

Don't get me started on "the absolute sound." I will certainly piss off about half the folks on this forum with my opinions on that subject.
