It would be interesting to put your ability to the test
under blind conditions to hear all those nasty
distortions on a real high end player with a quality LP.
It's already been done, and it is a slam dunk.
The LP format audible mangles any music that you record on it.
Here's the challenge. Produce 2 CDs. One of the finished recording that
will be mastered to LP, and one of the best possible transcription of that
recording from a LP made from the same master as was used to make the CD. It
is easy to show that a CD can easily be a sonically transparent copy of the
original master *and* the LP playback. It is easy to show that the digital
transcription of the LP will not produce random guessing in an ABX
comparison of the two. They won't sound just a little different.
I've already come as close to doing this comparison as I could with the
resources available to me, years ago. If you want to try to reduce me to
random guessing, then its up to you to find better resources. Once you have
produced your new, improved evidence, then I will sucessfully ABX them with
an audience of witnesses.
I am confident that if you collect this evidence, you will first listen to
them yourself and you will be so disappointed that you will never send it to
me.
I know that will never happen but my money would be
against you.
You already lost the bet.
And you wonder why some of us think you have
a severe prejudice against vinyl?
I wonder about claims that are so easily falsified.
Do show us the peer
reviewed published literature that supports this nonsense
about those of us with this alleged "hearing disorder."
The formal, peer-reviewed literature of the irreducable audible distortion
that inherent in vinyl was published in the JAES and IEEE proceedings back
in the days when vinyl was all we had. I've cited it here many times.
