I can't believe that a thread on about analog versus digital has 1) taken over 30 posts before the first mention of DBT (and not even a serious one at that) and 2) has not completely deteriorated in a flame war. I believe that says something very nice about this forum or maybe not.
My personal take on the analog versus digital debate is rather simple and please excuse me if you've heard this before: Analog: excellent recording medium, so so playback medium and terrible storage medium. Digital: terrible recording medium, good playback medium and excellent storage medium. Too bad no one has yet found a way to make a digital/analog hybrid medium which is excellent in all areas. As for two weeks without vinyl - laughable. I've been living n the Netherlands since August 2007 with my Transporter, Squeezboxes and SqueezeCenter while my Linn LP-12, my record collection and most of other audio equipment (such as my Sim Audio pre and power amps and Vandersteen speakers) are back in the US. Now if only there were better implementation of meta-data within SqueezeCenter I just might not miss my LPs so much. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46547 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
