In Reply to: This mo's Stereopile, Fremer on vinyl's drawbacks posted by Tightwad on July 18, 2006 at 11:08:02:
On the last page of the article, Fremer describes the problems with digital, and that digital was sold to the public by "fixing the evidence to fit the policy", i.e., perfect playback, and he also states that "To my ears, for whatever reasons, and despite all of analog's problems, even an inexpensive turntable and phono preamp can offer a level of musical satisfaction that no digital music format can match or even approach".Hmmm, Sounds like Mikey likes it (vinyl).
