Default The truth about accuracy of CD v. LP - let's start this again

Your reason is based on science as we know it now. If digital is so
perfect why have there been so many advancements and improvements since
inception? Jitter became a big issue and some now push higher sampling
rates etc. I actually just acquired three more LPs for which I have the
CD. All on the Narada label. Again the LP sounds clearer. It sounds
like the high frequencies don't stop prematurely - the ring of cymbals and
triangles lasts longer and doesn't stop abruptly.



Are you sure your phono set-up (turntable tone arm, stylus, cantilever,
etc.) isn't simply "ringing" in your listening room?
After all you do have to turn up the juice to hear the decay from the
cymbals and triangles.


Lastly - it was thought by doctors and scientists that stomach ulcer's
were caused by excess acid brought on by anxiety and stress. They
believed this for decades. A short time ago scientists found a small
microbe responsible for making holes in the stomach lining. Basic
antibiotics provide a cure. No more milk or Pepto. Science is only as
good as the last thing we believe we understand. While people get it
right more often than not there are those times we get it dead wrong.
People's non-acceptance of the latest truth is what makes for real
discovery.

You know you can get stomach ulcers from simply taking a lot of aspirin, so
one still needs the milk and pepto.

I listen in near field and treat all first order reflections including
behind my head and ceiling - good point though

I was generalizing on ulcers. For the most common deep stomach type
they are caused by the micro organism and cured by antibiotics.
