I feel like a broken record on this subject, but the "sound" of recordings has far more to do with the intentional choices made by the producer, recording engineer and artists than the age or choice of equipment.
Just like hemlines, colors, furniture styles, food trends and so on, things go in and out of style. The only thing that prevents more recordings from having the vintage sound you like are all the people at the other end of the chain who want a modern sound with that "in your face" element. My LP to digital transfers sound just like the LP. No harsh sounds pop up, no compression or distortion or frequency balance change is added. In my book, digital is not the problem. I'm cautiously optimistic that the "loudness wars" are beginning to fade a bit, a least on the material I listen to. That's one thing about all fads, sooner or later they do run their course. -- mlsstl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92914 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
