:?: :?: :?: After a number of years ( about twenty ) I finally got my turntable, amp, and speakers up from where they were stored in the basement, and hooked everything up.
The first record I played was a Tchaikovsky symphony, that I have played the CD of, many, many times.
I had to get the CD out and play it again, because I could not believe how rich, full, and filled with subtleties, the Analog recording was, and how relatively flat and colorless the CD recording sounded.
Maybe it is just all in the ear, or the mind, of the listener - - - - - - - - Then again, maybe digital reproduction does leave something out, where symphonic sound is the recorded subject.
I do have to admit that there is no way I could listen to that symphony "record" while in a moving vehicle. CD's do have a valid place in our modern society. The analog recording still sounds better to me.
Or, maybe, it is just that because of my age, that I am prejudiced in favor of 33 1/3 RPM Records........maybe, but I really do not think so.
One of the best sounding "sources of music sound" I've ever heard, actually came from a small transistor radio - - - - in a room, designed by an acoustical engineer, specifically for that very transistor radio.
It is amazing how sound can be "played with".
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
