Will Vinyl Save The iPod Gen From Crappy Sound?

[Ajani]

And I can say without reservation that is exactly what most engineers want.



The steal the life out of the music is an old myth from the early days of CD. It was because the anti-alising filters back in the 80's were brickwall, and they rang inducing jitter into the signal. This has long been conquered using oversampling filters, and higher resolution recording and playback chains. Since most recordings are of digital nature, a CD cannot steal the life out of any music. Digital cannot steal the life out of digital unless there is jitter present, or bits dropping.



Which is why I like to produce accurate recordings of which the end user can pass through any sonic altering device they choose like tubes.

Yep... we're in agreement... I probably should have put "steal the life out of the music" in quotes though, to make it clear that it is not my opinion of digital (as should be clear from the lack of tubes and vinyl in my sig)...
