Those knowledgeable know that the CD/SACD/DVD-A can reproduce music with
an accuracy that the vinyl, due to its inherent short-comings, cannot.
Those who love vinyl love certain LP recordings, or the euphonic
properties of vinyl. The digital formats can reproduce the outputs of a
phono-preamp accurately, and therefore it is the better delivery medium.
In other words, if we like, we can put in all those euphonic sound
qualities of vinyl on digital medium. It's that simple.

Adding echo to sound is a frequent audio enhancement. Given the relative
levels of the record groove and the sound how can the tonearm not pick
up the sound and feed it to the cartridge and hence to the system? At
high frequencies we are looking at signals that require UV microscopes
to pick up. We are talking movements less that a wavelength of light
here.


The sound in your room is probably fed back to your phono assembly as well.
That's why in making tapes from vinyl it's best to turn down he volume. When
my dog barks close by y TT, it is recorded on the tape.

Now that is conclusive for your system at least, ambience can be heard
what 30 to 40 db down. One thousandth the level, one ten thousandth the
level?

Keeping the sound level up would preserve on tape the experience of
playing the record directly. I am going to have to visit my friend who
just got a linear TT because the inner grove distortion was killing him.
He picked the TT off of ebay for under $50. Yet audiophiles are paying
thousands just for tone arms.

See if taping at high volume and low volume produces a difference in
sound.

I would need
measurements or at least double blind test results. No a sighted test
with me is not enough I know I can be fooled, even in ways I would not
expect.
