+1 - vinyl also adds noise, various distortions and compresses dynamic range (especially at the bass end). Anyone who has ripped vinyl using capable equipment knows that it is (as Robin said) easy to capture EVERYTHING about the vinyl, good and bad. Such rips are 100% indistinguishable from the vinyl. In fact it is possible to make them sound better than listening to the vinyl, by excluding acoustic feedback.. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
