By the way, if you want to set off a flame-athon, tell the all-analog-to-vinyl crowd that digital is "higher resolution" than that tape master. The topic is debatable, but I doubt anyone could win a credible argument on the statement that tape recording is closer to output=input than modern high-resolution digital. That said, there are listeners, careful listeners with good ears, who PREFER the distortions introduced by tape (and vinyl). A personal preference, however, is not an argument for what is objectively "better." -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Fine" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2015 3:48 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Hi-Rez symphony recordings, including some MLP, on sale at HDTracks > It's called high-resolution if the transfers from analog to digital are done 24-bit, at least > 44.1kHz.
