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) |

I didn't realize that 11 vs 12 would be so hard.
Not too bad for a vinyl versus CD  . I knew that it was the CD/LP that had the closest sound between both media in my collection. And I must have at least 20 tracks or records on both CD and vinyl.
I just got them 16/16 in ABX. ABX warned me that they had a different lenght, but they start more or less at the same point and I never played any until the end, and I chose my answers relying on the sound. And I say it again, to be safe (I just said it once in the other forum) : ban any SQRsoft of Nullsoft Winamp gapless plugin for 48 kHz listening ! |
