Til "dolph" vil jeg sige, at medmindre man lytter til ældre lp'er - med deres fejl og mangler - er al den musik vi hører i dag digitalt optaget.
Desværre har du næsten ret i det udsagn..
Men heldigvis findes der et tiltagende antal musikere, studieteknikere og producere som ønsker at genvinde de kvaliteter der unægteligt var opnåelige på analoge optagelser.
Og desuden findes der jo mange mennesker som enten har bevaret en stor analog musiksamlingeller ønsker at etablere en ditto i erkendelsens tegn.
Men der er nok også et større behov for at korrigere et musiksignal som kommer fra en digital kilde, da det jo i konverteringen er komprimeret.
Hvis man som udgangspunkt kun korrigerer fordi ens højttalere mudrer, hvorfor så ikke gøre rent bord og få fat i nogle ordentlige højttalere.
Husk på at man jo ikke korrigerer noget som er tæt på perfekt og som giver de bedste oplevelser.

Citat:
I knew that would get your attention. This tape trail place needs some
EXCITEMENT! So I thought I would provide a spark to this place----- at
the least.
Below is an email I sent to Dave Pogue tonight. He is
a well respected and well-documented contributor to this forum (and
also vinyl asylum).
About 2 weeks ago, I bought an Otari
5050-BII-2 deck (thanks to Dave) and have been working my way through a
new adventure: reel to reel playback. You can check my systems as a
back-drop to what I own. It's not amateur hour over here, to say the
least.
I have learned so much in so little time. I have to thank
both Dave and Matt (X-2000R) for their help in walking me through this
journey so far!!!!
I will now share with you what I shared with
Dave tonight. The only reason I do so is that others may join in to the
reel to reel lifestyle. That, IMHO is a GOOD thing, though I know we
don't want to get the "secret" out.......
Hi Dave,
I
finally got my Reel to Reel 7.5 IPS copy of Dave Brubeck "Time Out"
today. Keep in mind, this is only 1 of 2 commercial tapes I own, so I
can only base the things I am about to say off that incredibly small
population.
I really hate emails or comments like the ones
I'm about to make. I somehow feel like I am (names omitted) on Vinyl
Asylum waxing lyrical about whatever it is that I've just tried (i.e.
flavor of the month). So keep in mind that I hate exactly about what
I'm about to write to you; but I've heard what I've heard so I must
write this.
Like you, I owned previously both Brubeck's "Time
Out" on Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) and the vinyl Columbia 6-eye LP
release of this album, both stereo. Tonight, I managed to cue-up and
level match all three of them I now own---the stereo reel 2 reel tape,
the stereo LP, and the stereo SACD. Just like you did.....
With
all due respect to your findings (the reel being best), I thought for
sure the LP and the SACD were going to beat the tape. I don't know why
I thought that, but I think I just didn't expect a 40 year old piece of
brown tape running through a 23 year old reel to reel player was going
to beat out a state of the art digitally remastered/up-sampled to the
extreme SACD nor the highly regarded LP of this release. Although I
have compared MANY Redbook cd's and SACD's to their vinyl equivalent, I
have never done it for THIS album. So going in, I had no pre-conceived
notions of what would be better that what. For all I knew, the SACD
would walk away from the both of them. And the sad part is I was kind
of rooting for the SACD in a sick way: I'd sure like for the EASIEST TO
USE format to also be the best sounding. But somehow I knew the Lp
would at least beat the SACD though I was not sure.....
That was not to happen. Instead the religious experience happened.
I
cued the 3 of them up best I could, maybe they were off a second here
or there, but they were close enough to say for sure the differences
between them. Levels were very close as well. My Shack SPL meter had
them within a decibel between the 3 formats and my ears confirmed this.
I use a remote from the listening position (like you) so that I can get
on the fly immediate impressions between the 3 different formats
without going anywhere.
Now is where all the audiophile jargon
comes in, and I will spare you most of it. There was simply NO
comparison between the tape and the SACD. The SACD by comparison to the
other 2 formats (as phenomenal as I thought it sounded prior to this)
sounded compressed, muted, closed in, and two-dimensional. Much of the
detail and "openness" was lost with the Super Audio CD disc. The reel
sounded more open, more 3-D like and most importantly: It sounded like
LIVE MUSIC. To coin a too often used phrase: "The musicians were in my
room."
The LP and the tape was a much closer match, but there
was a clear winner relatively quickly. On the LP, the cymbals sounded
"whiteish" and closed-in, and by comparison the reel tape sounded much
more lifelike, more realistic and more believable. The drum kit as a
whole and in particular Desmond's sax sounded like it was IN THE ROOM
on the reel, and the LP sounded simply less life-like. The SACD was a
few further steps behind the LP too.
The clear winner overall was the reel 2 reel out of the 3 formats.
There was one drawback I thought to the reel however (besides the 10
minute set-up time and threading time between sides!!) At first, I
thought the reel had excessive tape hiss, but then I remembered this is
an OLD recording. Switching over to the SACD there was just as much
tape hiss!!! The best part was how "quiet" the hiss got in-between
songs on the reel to reel. Just like an LP, or SACD or CD, the tape
hiss quieted to NOTHING in between songs. So it was only playing back
what the master tape originally had to offer! In the pauses between
tracks, it quieted to nothing like the other formats do.
I must
conclude by saying this is just one case where the tape beat an SACD
and an LP. Obviously on a different release, an LP could beat the tape
or the SACD could beat the tape. But I feel with such an important
release as this, the fact that the old tape beat both an SACD and an LP
of the same release is reason enough for me to investigate this format
further. The fact that a tape can beat vinyl or state of the art
digital in any way/shape/form is incredible to me; I cannot believe
what I just heard!
Also I was really hit over the head tonight by the age-old question: "What is your reference point??"
If
all you owned or heard was the SACD version, you would say, "WOW!!!
This sounds unbelievable!!!" and you would leave it at that and be
happy. But all that means is that SACD was your point of reference!
Until you heard the superior formats, you would be none the wiser! You
would be happy with what you had. I kind of wish now I had never bought
this reel to reel deck, because now I have a true "reference".
Religious experience has been had here. Thanks again for bringing me to this point!"
Citat slut.
Men i dag vil folk hellere have brugervenlighed end kvalitet.
