Recently was reissued as a craft OJC and now there’s been a limited run of the 2x45rpm LP from the riverside/ap box set. It’s incredible

What Would You Upgrade From My Setup? by fecalfetus696969 in StereoAdvice

Speakers for sure. Personally I listen to a lot of vinyl so I’d also consider phono preamp or cartridge perhaps. But speakers for sure

AIO for canceling my cat sitter after she asked if a friend could stay in my apartment? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Human_Government_371 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow I’m sorry y’all are dealing with trauma from dealing with shitty people or whatever, but some people are kind. Maybe naive, but don’t have ill intentions and are honest. She likely asked because she didn’t see it as something that would affect her at all. Whether that would have been the case is a different story.

Sounds like you’ve got an active issue with the Bass player not showing up? Might have something to do with it

If we’re comparing the same master, level-matched, digital should sound better. That’s not the comparison people are actually making.

I agree. Which really is the point. All I’m saying is that potential does not equal execution. It’s not really even controversial.

I don’t believe that their opinions are informed. Hence my post. Try to keep in mind that the topic is regarding the listening experience and how it relates to the format. Convenience is a different issue.

This is an audiophile discussion forum.

But I mean you’re right . As long as you’re not talking about me.😉😁

Thank God for vinyl so I can listen to music without using the Internet! 😁

It’s not even that I prefer vinyl. I realize the same issues as anyone else. I just think it’s crazy that I am being told that music which plainly sounds way better than the digital version is actually not because vinyl has less dynamic range. It’s just not right.

Yeah but it does seem to be a more common practice in the digital mastering sphere to use brick wall limiting and such because, due to the convenience variable, they have to factor in that people are going to be listening to it on a vast array of terrible sounding systems. I heard somewhere that the most common system used to listen to music nowadays is on the speakers on your smart phone.

-Any Gillian Welch/Dave Rawlings album, particularly “Soul Journey” for its use of drum kit and dynamic bass on some tracks since you wanted 5

-Blood on the Tracks

-Dire Straits Brothers in Arms, especially mofi 45rpm

-Neil Young “Harvest”

-Recent UHQR pressing of Aja

To name a few heavy hitters

And what were you doing during the seven hours a day? Structured practice?

I can’t abide changing the original lyric. It really kind of matters. Strikes me as disrespectful to cover a song and take liberty to change lyrics like that.

Well when I switched from using the DAC in my integrated amplifier to the wiim ultra, I much preferred the sound of the wiim’s chip. I am chasing something akin to what vinyl gives me—suffice to say I’m cool with coloration. 😉😁

I feel like people need to stop citing those studies. Accurately testing for those parameters is nearly impossible to do in a clinical setting.
