This disappointment stretches back to the late 80s, when I was careless enough to switch from analog to a digital setup – the so called “revolution of the future." While having very modest entry level audio system at the time (turntable with built-in phono-preamp for about $300, integral tube-amplifier and speakers – all together for about $1,500) I had incredible satisfaction listening to good LP Records, each time getting a huge release of endorphins in my brain. This digital vinyl project is the result of my disappointment and dissatisfaction with digital sound. As I practiced music composition and arrangement, I spent much time in multiple studios and "just knew the kitchen." I am writing all of this just to make it clear that I am familiar with the music not only as a listener, but as a creator, as we say - "on both sides of the barricades." After graduating from the conservatory I began my professional career in a pop-rock band. Thus all my childhood and adolescence was integrally associated with music. My acquaintance with music began when I was 5 years old and my parents enrolled me into music school to learn the violin. This is one of the many good traits of Chris, which all of us on the forum have respect and love. Again I want to thank Chris that he, despite all the seeming obviousness of this incident, hasn't shown prejudice, and patiently handled this conflict. My official introduction to CA (I am referring to registration as a member of the forum, as I have many years of browsing it without registration) began very interesting. I initially want to assure all of you that we are talking here not about vinyl, but only about digital sound, and even more about computer digital sound. According to my observations, many members of CA have prejudices against these categories, and these prejudices have the right to exist. Vinyl, LP - these are concepts that cause many of us, fans of digital audio, to usually smile, and often contemptuously. CCįirst of all I want to thank Chris, that he decided to open a new regular column on the subject, which can cause a lot of controversy and debate.
I think you'll find both Igor and the series refreshing. What follows is an introduction of the series' author. This series will focus on both digital and analog audio, in addition each article will include terrific audio samples from Igor's project. The upcoming topics include dynamic range, loudness wars, high resolution digital, disadvantages of vinyl and myths, clocks and sample rates, mechanical reflections in vinyl and reconstruction of the digital signal in real time, among others. Editor's Note: This is the first article in CA's new "Digital Vinyl" series.
