No we were originally discussing why it is worth while to transfer LPs

reason to do so is if an LP is not available on CD. Clearly if one
cares about sound quality there are other reasons.

Previously you almost admitted the truth that vinyl can only sound better
than CD if the mastering of that CD was poor.


Listen dickwad, I've been telling the truth the whole way. That idea
prbably creeps out a dick head like you. The truth is with most titles
the superior mastering will end up being on an LP version. I know this
throiugh years of comparisons. You are clueless when it comes to this.
But then you really don't care do you? "Music? What's that?" You're all
about geeky technical aspects of audio.Truth is in controled
comparisons of titles where there was no difference in the mastering
other than RIAA EQ for the LP and the proper A/D conversion for the CD
the LP still sounded more realistic than the CD. You have never made
such comparisons. Your beliefs are faith based.




So program material is very much the issue.

So logically transferring a pristine LP to CD (without any 'mastering')
gives the best of both worlds


No transfering LPs to 24/96 or higher rez formats is the logical thing
to do. That is my next project. Yeah I would much rather play digital
copies of my LPs that are indistiguishable from the LP. Funny, I
chimmed in only when some one on this thread claimed it was not
worthwhile because CDs were so much better.
