Unfortunately, today's business model of audiophilia consists of selling
"new and improved" gadgets to an ever-dwindling base of aging boomers.
That pretty much guarantees a constant flow of gimmicks, variations on
already threadbare themes, and gear based on un-thawed theories (forget

Over a 10 year period I transferred about 2,000 LPs to CD/44.1K digital
format (which I finished 2 or 3 years ago -- now just doing the odd
album here and there). Back-to-back and level-matched, I never could

I assume that was posted from an analog computer.

Isn't it time that someone wrote a DSP module that emulates the dynamic
expansion, or inertial "ringing" that seems to be behind the "great
sound" of records..?

It quite diffrent than invoke magic and try to argue that vinyl is
somehow better objektively .
Especiallly when you can record vinyl digitally and it retails all its
properties ?

I wasn't thinking just about the presence/level of background hiss, but
also the "colour" of it. Because of the RIAA equalization, vinyl hiss
(unlike tape and digital) is not uniform white noise, but a nice shade
of pink.
Hiss is not appealing to me at all, so it's not that. I absolutely
loathed cassette, even before CD's came out. Most vinyl seems to be EQed
just right, while CD's wildly vary...many of them being "brickwalled".
But it should be mentioned that I've heard a lot of remastered vinyl

Sound engineers might or might not prefer vinyl, but are extremely aware
of the limitations of vinyl as a format. You have to equalize very
