But I almost always buy records because of the music, barely have
in mind the club/DJ tool concept, and 98% of the time I am listenin to
them in my home stereo. So it is important they sound good there.
yeah fair point. me too.
my home setup is even worse tho :)
i also think that people's ears are trained to hear vinyl specific
mastering. if someone plays something digitally that's been mastered
for that media (off a cd for example) the sound is definitely
different. i prefer my own recorded off vinyl files for that reason.
Yes, that was my question. You still need a good source (vinyl) to
digitalise from, and in my experience 16/44 does result in considerable
degradation of the sound (comparing to the vinyl source), specially for
less processed funk, jazz, etc...
yeah it's the compression people put on CDs that amazes me. if you pull
up the waveform of a track off a cd it's almost always 'crushed' with
some sort of compression.
the 16/44 thing is nothing compared to that imo.
anyway, i guess we're way off-topic now. :)
