DEBATE: Analog vs Digital - Class D vs Old School Amps

[sqcomp]

RR... You are impotent.

You were talking about analog vs digital in broad sweeping terms. Now that I mention true analog sources, you want to change the debate.

Let's change the debate then.

Good analog. Give us an example. What is "good anilog"?

Bad digital. Give us an example. What is this "bad digital" you speak of?

You're not being specific, you're skirting around broad general terms.

If the only thing you can criticize from my efforts is the conversion of an analog recording on a reel to reel recorder to digital storage...you've got no argument to stand on because you have NO idea what is happening with the process. To second that you also apparently no appreciation for the history of musical recording in the 20th century before you were born.

I'll put it this way, without the recording efforts I'm trying to save, you wouldn't have music playback as you know it now. Thank the Germans and WW II, the acoustical engineers, Bing Crosby and Les Paul for funneling the talent and money into the beginning of the golden era of recording music.

Now your hiding behind Les Paul and the Germans?

I was specific but you are the one speaking in general, irelavant terms. You are the one refering to older, poorer quality anilog sources in trying to win your argument.
I have repeatedly stated that anilog has the potential to be better than digital, No, not ealry anilog but, anilog at its utimate perfection when digital took over. You think that Doc Severnson and older Les Paul are the untimate in anilog sorces?

My original post was in responce to the poster who was not refering to car audio, just about audio in general. I never advocaed anilog for a car sys.
I'm surprised that you did not already claim that I advocate installing a calliope in a car.


I maintain that unless a car is some sort of dedicated SLP/ show car, it's a waste of money for a DD as yes, there is road and engine noise to deal with in addition to any vehcle having bad acoustics. One is then striving for an atificial sound that they believes sounds good in spite of the bad acoustics.
Now, do not try to educate me about sound deadener... we are talking about a DD and adding sound deadener etc begins to take a vehcle beyond the roll of a DD and it wiil still have terrible acoustics.

Why don't you tell us exactly what makes digital source and playback aways sound better as you claim?
Don't preach "convience" as eveyone concedes that. You speak of converting an older aniloge source to digital as if it's some kind of magical transformation.

Good analog. Give us an example. What is "good anilog"?

Bad digital. Give us an example. What is this "bad digital" you speak of?

What is good anilog?

Name one song/etc that that sounds better (or at least equal) when encoding digitally as directly compred to its original anilog conterpart played through quality playback hardware. ( I now envision you picking a song out of your hat).

........I'll put it this way, without the recording efforts I'm trying to save, you wouldn't have music playback as you know it now......

So, are you trying to take some sort of credit for that or..... are you tring to boast some knowledge of music/ hardware histrory? We all concede that Les Paul contributed a lot.
However, he did not invent muti track sound. He was just the first one to build hardware for and it was bound to happend sooner or laster. Ampeg (and others) simply told Les that with their state of the art that they could not build him the multi track recorder he wanted. So, Les just built his own .
Wether or not they actually could have built one is still open to debate.

Simularly, the Wright brothers did not invent flight and sooner or later someone esle woud have built a sucsessful aircraft.

I would refer you to post #18!


The net is full of posters who only post/repeate what others have posted on the net with no reguard to its accuracy.
They have become experts at only hearing what they want to hear.

Now, excuse me while I pop some more corn.
