Some monthes ago, a thread calle like this was posted in George Massenbourg forum :
[link broken] The poster was asking for examples of what analog fans call "dull lifeless digital sound". I just answered ([link broken]), posting two samples of Depeche Mode - Strangelove, that have bee killed by digital IMHO (how ironic : the CD is mastered as DDD, and I'm posting a digital copy of the LP, that is a copy of the digital master  )If you are interested, you can go and download the samples in the direct link above. EDIT : links broken (another forum changing the url !), here are the samples. 2.flac (942 ko) 3.flac (983 ko) |

In fact, there is quite a difference in the frequency response. 3 seems duller because it has less treble.
The amount of treble, as I just myself saw right now (I didn't expect such a loss) depends in fact of the wear that the LP has borne. So it's not a good way of telling which one sounds better, since it can change from track to track, and also from catridge to catridge. The details of the sound themselves are more difficult to catch. Because the sample is short, and especially because it has been digitalized. So it's not a true LP vs CD comparison. |
