The death of fidelity.
I'm perfectly ok with sine waves for music reproduction. I'm not going to get into dac design, so I'm going to leave it at that. I believe that there's nothing inherently wrong with digital, and I've had enough experience that I'm comfortable leaving it there. If you want to stick with just analog, be my guest, I won't try and disuade you of that notion.

I wasn't criticizing records for mastering decisions, I was saying it was a benefit. That's why I have a turntable.

The death of fidelity.
Dynamic range and bass resolution on cds is great, it's the mastering that's the problem. And I don't call 22khz rolled off. Real music reproduction is well within the capabilities of lp and cd. It's just the decisions made at recording and mastering time that make the difference. There's not a technical reason why lps sound better, it's just that the limitations of typical gear encouraged better behavior in the production of the recordings.

Especially since most LP mastering was done to prevent said supposed good stuff from getting in there . The best LP masters kept dynamic range to a reasonable level and had low and high pass filtering.

it depends on if you consider higher crosstalk and worse dynamic range to be less important than the ability to reproduce frequencies only bats can hear.

Question on Power Cables and Conditioners
Don't buy the one that only plays 70% of cds. That's a broken player . Or buy it and replace the transport.
-
The death of fidelity.
Not really. Both should roll off well outside the range of adult hearing, but CD is technically more capable. The problem with most cds and the benefits to lps is almost entirely in the mastering.

New iPod Shuffle
Apple doesn't sell commodities, they sell commercial products. Apple spends money on design and core research that commodity producers don't have to. You don't like the apple product, then fine, buy the korean knockoff (or whatever other product you want). They have, there are hundreds of other mp3 players that do exactly what you want. For some weird reason, apple keeps outselling them. It must be that their products provide something the others don't.

Question on Power Cables and Conditioners
Of course you do Al, but can you hear a difference, or do you do it just because it's worth it to not have to worry about it?
