Okay so I did an A/B/C test on the song "Losing My Religion" where A was my very clean vinyl copy, B was my 24/96 version (ripped from a DVD-Audio disc) and C was my 16/44.1 version (ripped from a CD). My vinyl playback is on a Linn LP12 with a Grado Reference cartridge and a Grado phono preamp, the digital playback is via a Transporter (wireless but with a rock solid signal). Sim Audio pre and power amps and Vandersteen speakers with lots of fancy wires, dedicated power circuits and other assorted audiophile mumbo jumbo. The results: both the vinyl and the 24/96 sounded slightly better than the CD version. The CD version was flatter and the bass was a little washed out. Mind you this was all very unscientific and highly suggestive. All three versions sounded very good but I would give the edge to the 24/96 or the vinyl over the CD. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91630 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
