Since there is and probably always will be a division on the subject of LP
playback vs. CD playback, let's see if we can describe how we each hear a given recording that we have in common. First decide on a recording that all who participate, have in common. Next listen to it and focus on how you hear it, IOW where do each of us hear the placement of the instruments and what sort of soundstage is presented. Lastly, it would probably be best if all who participate post their comments as close to the same time as all the others. This way nobody is being influenced by the comments of others. An equal number of persons from each side would probably be best, say 4-6 LP listeners and an equal number of CD listeners. The big question is what recordings would people have in common that might be used? James Taylor: Live? Flim and the BB's: This is a recording? Van Morrison: Astral Weeks? Lyle Lovett: Joshua Judges Ruth? The Crusaders: Healing the Wounds? Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, Fanfare for the Common Man Louis Lane, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Telarc? Beatles: Abbey Road? |

It is a declared, unequivocal, absolute, decided, incontestable, incontrovertible, indisputable, indubitable, manifest, no catch, no ifs ands or buts, no kicker, obvious, straightforward, unambiguous, uncontestable, undeniable, undisputable, univocal, unmistakable, unquestionable KOWNLEDGE that everyone will hear the SAME thing!

I just wanted to see what, if any differences the LP listeners might be hearing. Since they seem to wax poetic about such a technically inferior format, I wondered what the deal was. |

I can live with that. -- So can I, never had a problem with preference. I was just trying to get an idea of what they HEAR that makes some prefer LP over CD. I know why I like CD better, it always sounds better due to increased definition. I hear the Cymbals better, and percussion always sounds tighter and, for lack of a better word, faster. I can tell a difference in quality in the recordings I have that still use the codes AAD, ADD, and DDD. To me DDD sounds better. I like the fact that when I play a CD, I hear the music and only the music, no surface noise lead in. I understand some people don't mind the surface noise before the music starts and then is masked by the music if it's loud enough. I understand that very often there is a different mix for LP with loud sounds made softer and soft sounds made louder and that is another matter of preference. What I don't understand is people who insist that LP is more revealing, or has more "microdynamics." These are claims that just don't hold up on scrutiny. Preference is preference and there's no argument that different people prefer different things. My call for some critical listening was to try and get descriptions that helped me understand what, if anything, is different in what they hear. It's sad that even a request for information results in yet another flame fest. |

IOW, it sounds more "real". I suspect this has to do with a mixture of both depth perception re. the soundstage in many cases, and also a sense of more "body", whether it be in the sound of the vocalist or of instruments. While these things are difficult to operationally define in terms of specific measurements, these observations appear to be quite common among vinyl enthusiasts. It also appears that this experience occurs among some younger listeners, who, after hearing some vinyl comparisons vs. digital playback of the same material, decide to invest in vinyl playback equipment. Another variable that sometimes is raised, although less so in newer digital recordings, is the well-known "digititis" or overly bright sound of some digital recordings compared to the same recordings on vinyl. This, of course, is a matter of taste, as well. Personally, I have many enjoyable examples in my own collection of both formats, as well as some real lousy recordings in both. Bruce J. Richman |

IOW, it sounds more "real". That's part of the problem I have with such descriptions, how can more distorted sound more real? I suspect this has to do with a mixture of both depth perception re. the soundstage in many cases, and also a sense of more "body", whether it be in the sound of the vocalist or of instruments. While these things are difficult to operationally define in terms of specific measurements, these observations appear to be quite common among vinyl enthusiasts.

Another variable that sometimes is raised, although less so in newer digital recordings, is the well-known "digititis" or overly bright sound of some digital recordings compared to the same recordings on vinyl. This, of course, is a matter of taste, as well. And most likely has to with the fact that digital can record amd playback such sounds with much more accuracy. Then the problem becomes how well can the speakers handle such sounds. Personally, I have many enjoyable examples in my own collection of both formats, as well as some real lousy recordings in both. There's no way to get a sows ear to become a silk purse, unless of course you remix or re-record. |

Buy the album - it's a classic. Skip the rapz. The melodic refrain of "To Zion", once heard a few times, shall be imprinted on thy inner mind permanently. I hope it's better than the Alicia Keyes disk I recently purchased. Crushing sameness, thumping bass, but then Lauren has ten times the voice. Not much in the way of a mix. Give me something like Astral Weeks, Moondance, or Santana and I'm a happy audiophile and a happy listener. |
