Take it from experts. A couple of excerpts: The phonograph record is a marvelous medium for storing and reproducing sound. With frequency response from 7 Hz to 25kHz and over 75 dB dynamic range possible, it is capable of startling realism. Its ability to convey a sense of space, that is width and depth of sound stage, with a degree of openness and airiness, is unrivaled by anything but the most esoteric digital systems. Next limitation: treble. You can put as much treble on a DAT or CD as you want. Unfortunately this is not true on a record (or analog tape for that matter). Although 25kHz response is possible, excessive transients are a problem. There are several reasons for this. It was decided with the advent of the first electrical transcription phonograph record, to reduce bass and boost treble in the cutting of the master record. |

![]() Bertie said to the Bug Eater: It so happens that many CDs have entirely excessive, forward and harsh treble. Coincidence? Mickey doesn't care how bad it sounds as long as it's "accurate". BTW, when are you going to realize how ****ing stupid duh-Mikey is? |

Mickey doesn't care how bad it sounds as long as it's "accurate". I care if I like it. I also know that if it sounds a certain way, as in the case of harsh and overly bright, it's the ay they intended it to sound. I would avoid that artist's work in the future. Accuracy is the goal of hi-fi, but it don't meansquat if you don't like teh way it was recorded. BTW, when are you going to realize how ****ing stupid duh-Mikey is? Letting someone get information from LP experts and enthusiasts is a sign of stupidity in your world George? Oh wait, you don't really exist, so your comments are worth what we paid for them. |

The idea of clean bass from vinyl much below 100Hz is generally a fantasy. Two words: tone arm resonance. Next limitation: treble. You can put as much treble on a DAT or CD as you want.

It so happens that many CDs have entirely excessive, forward and harsh treble. Coincidence? Just goes to show that some people who do mastering and mixing are short on taste. The CD format has uniform power bandwidth over the audible range, so unlike vinyl it puts no constraints on making recordings with lots of treble. |
