Stereobox said:speaking of which...
do you find vintage 'pop' records sounds harsh on CD? i'm listening to a greatest hits compilation CD of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators now, and the music just sounds dry.
or maybe i just got a badly remastered CD?
hwchoy said:during the recent hifi show, Hugo (the HK audiophile label, but the boss is actually Singaporean) demonstrated the difference between pressing #1 (first CD off the master) and #5001. the effect is stunning. in some markets people actually pay an astronomical price for a used, early pressing disc (of course have to be audiophile CD to begin with lah).
the problem with later pressing is that even though the data is digital, the pressing itself (mould with pits) is analog and will degrade with use. when played, these later pressings will have much more data error which will activate the players error correction and recovery circuit, which causes significant signal degradation.
