And I yield to someone who actually knows something as opposed to someone like myself who just goes off on ill-informed rants. But I do have to wonder if the distinction you speak of can be detected over a normal car stereo. <br /><br />In any case, I stand corrected.<br /><br />About the music, not about the douches who drink PBR.Rich Siegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863451214232651917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958990354598975042.post-78187027136494792182010-08-11T09:41:26.410-07:002010-08-11T09:41:26.410-07:00Hate to disagree, but as a longtime audiophile who...Hate to disagree, but as a longtime audiophile who has poured more money into my system than I care to admit, I have to say that analog is indeed a more realistic reproduction of sound. CDs may not have any of the pops and scratches you mentioned, but they tend to produce a metallic and unnatural sound that is less like live music. This is due to the computer processing that goes on inside your CD player where loads of digital jitter and timing variations in processing create unpleasant distortions, resulting in a clean, but harsher, more brittle reproduction. Analog frequencies are more in line with how the human ear process sound. This has actually been proven in a lab. My system also employs analog tubes due to their natural frequency reproduction.Eric Walkerhttp://www-eric-walker.comnoreply@blogger.com
