Take 2:


Look and listen closely - digital stuff all suffers from the loss of
that final sharpness, be it sound or images....


Alas, no matter how many 'takes' you make, your theory disagrees with
my experience. :-)


Word Insertion Technique noted - 'theory'...??


Your theory is that **all** "digital stuff" is as you describe.

Yet in reality you probably haven't listened to *all* recordings. Nor does
your theory make much sense once you take into account that a number of the
LPs you like were probably in digital form prior to being cut to vinyl.
:-)

I have also made CDRs of LPs, and I - and others who I have tried them one
- then can't tell them apart if they only have the sounds to go on.

So the problem is that you convert some specific experiences into a theory
which you then apply to *all* "digital stuff". But which fails to agree
with some cases which you fail to take into account.

My *experience* disagrees with yours and my opinion is shared here.


But that was not what you said above. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
