Vinyl colorations, inherent, euphonic and inherent euphonic.

Actually, I've had several platters that rang pretty nicely if I held them in the air. Some were made out of steel sheet and also die cast aluminum or similar metal. This description goes a long way to explain your deep dissatisfaction with LP playback. Only if it happens to an audible degree. Ever wonder why exotic LP playback equipment provide zero technical tests for their products, and Stereophile has AFAIK only done one? Technical testing would not show a real-world advantage for a lot of expensive tool work and materials. It's audio jewelry, plain and simple. Do you mean that things like lower wow and flutter and better s/n specs don't count? Such standard specs clearly give the advantage to better turntables... much better than the Rega you've pronounced thusly: If you want a LP played back well, buy a used Rega with a sub-$100 phono cartridge. If you want bragging rights, go elsewhere. It is ironic that so much is made of jitter in digital equipment that is 100 dB down or more, and so little is made of similar jitter from LPs that is only 30 to 50 dB down. So which is it? Either these things matter, or they don't. |

This description goes a long way to explain your deep dissatisfaction with LP playback. Not at all. Do you mean that things like lower wow and flutter and better s/n specs don't count? Show me the results of appropriate technical tests showing that exotic turntables as a rule have better wow, flutter, and s/n performance than good moderately priced turntables. Such standard specs clearly give the advantage to better turntables... much better than the Rega you've pronounced thusly: Show me actual technical test results that support this claim. |
