I think music on vinyl sounds better than digital music. I’m not being nostalgic here. A good record played on a good stereo sounds...fuller? Don’t know the right word. Anyway...
I agree totally. Rolling Stone had a blurb on the new Beatles mixes, and they repeated their 1987 review that the CD versions were shriller than the vinyl. This time around, they fixed it, apparently.
Here's what your ears have already told you when it comes to digital vs analog :
The flipside, though, is that when there's silence on a digital recording, you get silence. On analog, there are often pops from dust, scratches, etc.
But I still dig the vinyl format.
That graph is deeply misleading. The pink line is more than enough to perfectly reconstruct the black line, which is exactly what a D/A converter with a proper filter does.
Plug an oscilloscope into your CD player output and look for yourself - I guarantee you’ll see a sinewave indistinguishable from the input, not this alleged stairstep garbage.
