Microphones, even very good ones, are not perfect
(after all, they're transducers, just like speakers
and phonograph cartridges), mixers aren't perfect,
and the analog to digital process is not perfect.
Wrong on 2 counts. Mixers and converters are often
sonically transparent. Comparing the sonic purity of
phono cartrdiges to good converters is like comparing
mud to milk.
Talk about wrong! Nothing made by man is perfect,
including audio electronics.
I did not say that audio electronics were perfect. I
said that they are often "sonically transparent", which
means that signals representing music can pass through
them without reliably noticable audible alternations.
That's just as wrong as saying they were perfect.
Why not?
If they had no audible affect on signals representing music, then
they would all sound the same.
That's why DACs do sound the same once certain fairly achievable levels of
performance are met.
Clearly they don't.
Only in the judgement of people who reject the many findings of science and
technology that are relevant to this.
I've had that proven to me in a number of DBTs involving amplifiers.
I don't recall any accounts of proper DBTs showing this.
Here, collect this man's money:
