If it was meant to be a test of which standard is better - CD or vinyl - it wasn't particularly meaningful. Records are mastered differently than CDs, and (because of surface noise) are trivial to distinguish from them. So if you prefer the vinyl version of something, there are many possible reasons which are independent of the intrinsic sound quality of the medium. What I think would be a more interesting test would be to record a record using high quality digital gear, encode the recording to redbook, and then see if anyone can distinguish the recording from the actual record. If not, digital wins, game over. This would have to be done in a clever way, but I think it's possible. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53355 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
