I sometimes forget...
Irony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forgetting isn't so bad, it's all those things you know that just aren't true.

FYI: Wikipedia isn't really the most reliable source of informaton.
I don't even have anything approaching 'good' digital or 'good' analogue for that matter by the standards of most here, but this is almost the single reason I have always preferred my LP playback over CDs - I have always noted a more tangeable sense of solidity to the instruments,nevermind any other differences. It may be an artefact, but it sounds more real to my ears and ultimately, I'm more interested in the better illusion. For the record, I like both mediums -they play music well and can both be involving. I have a large LP collection partly because a lot of the music I am interested in has not been reissued on CD. I could easily do without all the cleaning tho..
You see, my difficulty with that plain, common sense view, is that you'll find any number of people who have "observed" how putting their mains cables on little ceramic stands affects the sound of their system, or who observed that it matters hugely which way round their digital interconnect goes. Many have observed that painting their CD edges with green ink improves the sound greatly. I personally "observed" that I could hear a perceptible difference between CD and Minidisc, then realised I was only listening to CD throughout the test...
Yes - the common sense view goes further by removing the scare quotes and accepting those as observations. Observation creates reality, its not some 'objective' process telling us about a pre-existing reality. When I say 'reality' of course I mean the content of all our perceptions.
Quite so - you only fixed your error of observation by actually observing did you not? IOW, you had not really observed at first, you'd just assumed or in your parlance "observed". You'd taken your own opinion as gospel truth. Which brings us back to where I came in...😛
The neutrality of this article is disputed.
Yeah, because it was passed through a phono preamp.
The first time I tried my Technics SVP-100 digtal recorder (Sept 11, 1982) and wound back the tape, I couldn't tell the difference of the playback from the direct feed into the machine from the Sony C-38 mics. At the time the monitor amp was a Sansui and the headphones Koss ESP-9s. The Sansui is long gone but I still have the phones. There are probably better but they're the best sound I've ever heard.
My hearing was better back then but still respectable for an old duffer.
