For what it's worth, I don't even find it that distracting, unless the noise level is really high. Analog noise is generally easy to ignore.
Maybe that's because I'm so used to vinyl, which is what I listen to most of the time. I'd MUCH rather listen to an original pressing of some old jazz album, with even a good deal of surface noise, than listen to a pristine recent pressing. You just lose so much resolution due to tape age. -- rgheck SqueezeboxServer on a 350MHz Pentium II running Centos 5.x with 1.5TB Transporter --> Adcom GDA-600 --> Pass Labs B1 (DIY) --> Adcom GFA-5800 --> Thiel CS 1.6s Transporter --> Pass Labs D1 --> Pass Labs Aleph 2s --> Thiel CS 1.6s ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25803 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71764 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
