In Reply to: It's not extreme. Digital is just not an acceptable music carrier. posted by Teresa on September 14, 2006 at 14:50:53:
Look Teresa, 7 years ago I went into exactly the same phase, sold my CD player and all my CDs and only kept my Brinkmann turntable, and posted everywhere that CD sucked.
What happened at the end of the day? I couldn't get the music I wanted to, or only half of it. I gladly went back to CD two years after that, and realized how it had improved. I have some completly normal, non-audiophile CDs which sound as wonderful as vinyl. And if you think mathematics robs the music of its soul, one could say the same hearing clicks and pops in the middle of a Schubert quartet adagio, right when the strings die to silence.
It's all a question of perspective, try to keep some. Fighting for analogue is good, fighting against digital is ridiculous. Make your fight a positive one.
Best,
Jean-Baptiste

All of my money goes for LPs and 7 1/2-IPS Reel to Reel tapes.I can listen to SACD and DVD-Audio from 96kHz or higher PCM masters, DSD Masters, or analog masters. But why LPs and RTRs from Analog masters are still better. I do not like LPs from Digital masters or digitally remastered as it totally ruins the music. The Telarc Soundstream LPs are superficially OK, but they have a rolled off high end and dry bass. I will admit they have a lot of bass energy but so does Reference Recordings PURE Analog LPs.
Oh CDs actually cause me physical pain. It's not a choice of not wanting to listen to them, I am not able to listen to them.

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
