New DVD-Audio music releases and talk about the latest players.

Sorry Frank, I believed what you believed too, but....

209.165.45.127

I've had a VPI Scoutmaster turntable for about a year now, and there is no contest between CD and Lp's, at least with Deccas, EMI's, and most Philips. The textural differntiation--esp. in the bass, (the individual timres of bassoon, low harp, plucked bass, tympani, etc.,) are so much clearer. Bass is faster. Soundstage and depth is far better than even surround SACD. I hadn't owned a turntable in 25 years, and my experience back then with Lps was only Columbia, RCA and Angel--the worst of the Classical pressing and recordings. It's no wonder I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the turntable room at the store, but one note practically was all it took to realize....

Hold the phone though: I've discovered that digital Lps are far better than their CD counterparts as well, suggesting that digital may not be the problem, it may be the CD or CD player issues.

Keep up bad Lp press though, prices on lps go up every day unfortunately.
