" Now for the first time many hi-res digital stereo recordings can
actually match or even surpass the fidelity of the best vinyl LPs
played on the best turntable and analog front end. "

LMAO ! How does he reckon the material was recorded in the first place
? Such ppl are *precious* !

" Though they claim “near-CD quality,” the fact is their signals are
about 1/30th the sampling rate of a 44.1K CD. (MP3 files are
compressed at a 12:1 ratio.) "

1.5 kHz sampling ? This guy knows bugger all.

Are the contributors for this rag always so terminally dumb ?

He obviously doesn't know that thousands of LP titles were origionally
recorded digitally.

He's confuses sample rate with data rate.

IME technically competent High End reviewers are few and far between. Look
at Stereophile, for example. Other than Atkinson and a few others, how many
there know an ohm from a volt or a sample rate from a data rate?
