Hi Rob,
Sorry, not getting into this one - My fingers and brain are too tired
to get into a gainsay so late in the day.
That sure is a cop out.
You have some choices -
believe me, ignore me or do your own research and prove me wrong -
just do a little surfing on the high fidelity websites.
Well, lucky for us I spent over ten years working on this very
subject ;-)
After many years of research and development of digital audio
equipment...I
concluded that it depends on what you mean by "data". You can
increase bit
depth and sample rate ad-infinitum, but whether that increased
amount of
data gives you increased fidelity (accuracy of reproduction) is what
the
question is. And, the answer is no, vinyl does not have more
"usable" data
when compared to a standard CD.
Machs Nix to
me, in my heart and eardrums I know I am right.
Well, what your eardrums hear is harmonic distortion. As humans, it's
pleasing to our ears, so sometimes, we *think* something with a higher
harmonic distortion sounds better than the same "thing" without it,
even
though the fidelity is less. So, given the right playback
equipment, I
don't disagree that vinyl *can* sound "better", but that does not
mean it
has more data.
Regards,
Austin
