"Why specific CDs May Actually Sound Better Than specific Vinyl"
my collection includes many specific CDs that easily trump (measurable) specific vinyl counterparts, and vise versa.
Provenance, with any format, is key ...
Absolutely , would luv to hear Batman .. The Dark Knight returns on vinyl .... While Schoenberg 's Verklarte Nacht , will mostly always sound better on vinyl . Horses for Courses .
The Dark Knight on vinyl makes the CD counterpart read like compressed mud. HDTrack's The Dark Knight Rises "Hi-Rez" version is yet another example of truly bad "Lo-Rez" wrapped in "Hi-Rez" packaging w/"Hi-Rez" pricing.
That's a good article, but then again I'm a bit biased. I wonder if it's because I'm almost exclusively a classical listener these days that vinyl doesn't really float my boat?

Now that's a surprise , I thought classical was vinyl's strength . Not the orchestral bombast maybe , but where timbre ,tone and fluidity are of importance .

Dear TBone , wish you lived closer to be able to hear the red book version on my rig . With the Zanden pre amp ( what a gem ) )handling duties , it sounds down right menacing. No two ways about it
yes, look's like your post, mine, Ian's and microstrip's crossed in the websphere.
TTs can also be more dynamic.
A turntable can't add dynamics (or at least it shouldn't), the goal of any decent TT is to PROPERLY/ACCURATELY reproduce dynamic content based on its given LP.
For some reason it sounded more dynamic though.
I think this is a way for Steve to test the current "civility" temperature index of WBF.
So far, so good. Hope it continues.
