Regulars will recall that I've been digitising all my ACs, MDs, and

Phew! I'm so relieved that it's now all but over.


Ah, but to rediscover the music :-)

I hope anyone who is still misguided enough to consider that vinyls
are superior to CDs will take note of all these problems (fuller
details appended), none of which occur with CD. It shouldn't be
necessary to say it, but such druids may care to note that when played
back through the same equipment, there is no audible difference
between the originals and the digital recordings.


While I have found there to be little discernible difference between
vinyl and CD - it's rare in my experience. I much prefer the sound of
vinyl (digitised or not) to CDs, on the whole. And well worth the effort.

Your samples sound pretty good. Strikes me you could have raised the
levels a little, although i'm not sure what difference that would have
made to the sound. And it'd be nice if you could post something more
mainstream (good though they sound!) for comparisons.
