Well, there are two kinds of "accuracy" here, often confused. If a CD/DVD-A is properly made, it can be accurate to the source per the Nyquist frequency. It can be engineered to be as close to accurately replicating the vinyl signal as you want. Audiophiles often claim "accuracy" when they like something. And most audiophiles love the added even harmonic distortions that tubes/valves and vinyl have in spades. > As for the rest, you're right: there can be fine digital recordings. > Although it took the industry some 20 years to get them right. I wouldn't say it took 20 years to get right. It did take five to ten years. The problem is that the music industry (and the RIAA) have no interest in music. They care only about sales and revenue. Its only the boutique folks that care at all about quality, accuracy, etc. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
