If you're confident of this, here's interesting experiment you might like to try to verify that you're not imagining it...
Make a 24 bit recording from vinyl, at a decent recording level (eg. peaking no lower than about -3dB). Take a copy, and convert it to 16 bit. (You can even just truncate the bottom eight bits without dither if you like: vinyl is so noisy that it makes no difference). Now use something like Foobar2000's ABX tool to see if you can tell them apart. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34379 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
