OK, I don't want to sound like a commercial, but these are great people to deal with. In the past year I've bought a wonderful power amp, and just this week ordered my "end game' turntable. If you keep an eye on their website you can come up with some fantastic deals - great gear at reasonable prices. The customer service is EXCELLENT - they have real live people that answer the phone to help with any questions or resolve any issues you may have. I'm pretty old and probably won't be buying much more, but if/when I do, it'll be from TMR!

I am using Magnepan 1.6qr I've owned for over 20 years (can't believe it's been that long) with a Rotel RB-1582 Mkll. Both are neutral which is what I wanted. If the recording is poor, that's how it will sound. With excellent recordings like with the XRCDs I have for example, it's a musical delight.

It's a great product that adds tube magic without losing resolution. A good tube set is (new production) Tung-Sol 5AR4 and Electro-Harmonix gold pin 6992 and 6SN7. That sounds really appealing and then you can upgrade from there with NOS tubes like RCA 5AR4GY, Amperex 6922 and higher end new tubes such as Apos Ray Reserve or Sophia Electric, Grade A, Blue Glass 6SN7.

1:55 ... Michael ... if you want real information from knowledgeable, credible sources the audiophile community is the *last* place you should turn to. From a purely technical aspect, CDs and Digital files have a much larger capacity for dynamic range, clarity, frequency response, distortion, etc than even the very best vinyl recordings. Plus, digital files do not require the RIAA equalization curve to first reduce then enhance bass... they're recorded flat. The truth be told, with proper mixing and mastering, CDs, even MP3s would mop the floor with vinyl recordings. _"But I heard a CD of my favourite music and it sounded like crap beside my vinyl pressing!"_ I'm betting it did. But not for the reasons people keep pointing out. Digital and Vinyl are mixed and mastered differently. Unfortunately, when the music industry found out how loud a CD could be, they launched into a loudness war, each trying to be the loudest track on the playlist. For years on end, every CD was mastered with virtually zero dynamic range and the 20% distortion that goes along with total compression and limiting. Of course that sounds like crap and the music studios didn't care. In the heat of this "Loudness War" I decided to back up my 60s, 70s and 80s vinyl collection by transcoding them into MP3/196 files. Once I tweaked and twiddled a bit, I got the levels right and I now have almost 4,000 files that sound exactly like their vinyl parents. *Exactly*, to the point where I can't tell them apart. Vinyl is no closer to the original performance than a FLAC file is. Neither came from a gaggle of microphones recording live performances. It is almost all studio work, and mixing console magic. In fact, some of the music you listen to probably could not be played live without a noticeable loss of talent. In the end, It is not the medium that matters ... it is the skill and talent of the studio crew, musicians and engineers that makes it all happen. Vinyl or Digital, your home system is just following a bouncy little signal who's voltage tells your amplifiers how to move the speaker cones.

Best is analogue source transferred to vinyl, no digits involved. But if the source is digital (and I understand it usually is now with vinyl pressings) this is still better than a digital file / CD. The easy response is that this can't be right as information lost in digitization is gone cannot be replaced. But it can (sort of). In getting from one static digital snapshot to the next, the vinyl is cut creating a continuous sound carrying groove. It interpolates the data (i.e makes it up as a line of least reststance to the next digital data instructing it). But this restoration of continuity sounds better than snapshot digital. How could it not ?

I've little doubt the vinyl copy of Louis and Ella came from a digitised 'master'. This is what made the fact that the vinyl sounded better than the Naim HDX so interesting. But the answer is , I suspect, that the hearing equipment of humans and (more importantly perhaps) the mysterious mental activity of decoding these aural signals was based on thousands of years of evolution in which our ancestors heard continuous waves, not bits. Size of sample rate not relevant. Translating 'bits' isn't the way we are wired. And a digitised master becomes a continuous sound form in vinyl because in cutting of necessity the 'digit points' are converted to continuous wave form. .
@Freddystapersma692 ай бұрын
@@MichaelDoran-gh6pv ok lets tacle this; Fact one: Vinyl records often have frequencies above 15 kHz filtered out to avoid issues during the cutting process. This means that even before digitization, the signal may lack these high frequencies. so is already not lossless information from the original. agree? fact two : For most audio signals, a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz (used in CDs) is sufficient to capture frequencies up to 22.05 kHz, which is above the typical human hearing range. so it is not possible to hear in any soundsystem. (infrasound, you can feel to a sertain point as vibrations even though they are not heard.) However, higher sampling rates (96 kHz, 192 kHz) are used to ensure greater accuracy and to capture more of the signal’s detail in highres SACD and lossles downloads. Bit depths of 24-bit or higher provide a more precise representation of the signal’s amplitude, reducing quantization error and is generally already very small due to the high bit depth (16-bit), to make the quantization noise inaudible while normal CD can have a little quantization error we do not forget that vinyl has other types of noise and distortion, such as surface noise, groove wear, and limitations in the cutting. Final question to wrap things up (Ihope) . When I make a recording with digital equipment. save it as a wave file. and use that as a file to create a vinyl record. wich one is the better lossless file. Wich one can be copied exactyl the original wav or the vinyl recording. wich one needs adtional steps in the process of mastering and cutting the lacquer, which can introduce some loss or changes in the sound??

what a l. of bull. compare spotify with vinyl?? is the same as comapring a original full album with a top40 album.... Vinyl has at most 10bit of information.. you think new albums are recorded analog?? keep dreaming.. To avoid problems with cutting at high frequencies, everything above 15KHz was routinely filtered out. Result: vinyl sounds warmer because the high top end is simply not there. Cutting no longer happens from analog sources. On one hand, because almost no company has an analog archive* anymore or finds it profitable to send someone in** to search for the analog master. The idea that the recording would sound better after 4 mechanical transfers than the original is 100% subjective and at the same time 100% illogical. The 4 mechanical transfers: From signal via cutting head to lacquer or copper Electroplating of silver to matrix Pressing of matrix into vinyl Playing vinyl with a needle CD of those same settings would sound better than that 'beautiful' vinyl pressing. Simply by eliminating 4 mechanical steps. People who have never witnessed a cutting like to tell you their stories. If you love fantasy stories, they're the ones to go to. And now you know why vinyl sounds warmer. Warmer, but not...

thus speaks a gentleman who has never heard the same song played consecutively through digital (Naim HDX) and then through vinyl (SME 10 & modest MM cartridge). Through vinyl, Louis was a human being. Through digital, a facsimile of a human being. Both through the same Chord integrated and Martin Logan speakers. I guess some people like real tomato soup whilst others prefer to add hot water to a sachet of soup that has been first reduced to discrete particles.

Vinyl is expensive and can scratch ? Sure -though vinyl lovers will not scratch their vinyl and hard drives have been known to fail. These statements are irrelevant. The point raised was the emotional connection that is made on vinyl with the human voice which alphabet soup cannot replicate. As for dynamic range, your comment is straightforwardly absurd. Ever heard a 45 rpm MOFI one stomper ! Foundation shaking bass and ethereal fine detail.

I don't understand why everyone is using gigawatt amps to drive their Maggies. I have original MG-IIIa speakers (refurbished once) and drive them with an old Adcom GFA-535 amp (100 watts/channel into 4 ohms). I can drive my Maggies to deafening levels - so loud I can't possibly be in the room with them - what I would call deafening levels - before the amp's clipping lights come on. This is in a 14'x22' room.
