It was entertaining in its own way, chock full of the usual rock cliches. Probably best judge it after a few episodes.

Do you guys realise that Swiss was referring to a tv show and you have hijacked his thread?
Is it any good?

Tests on who?
Experienlce trumps some non conclusive test.

'blind tests' (people were played music on different formats without them knowing which were which) were performed and it turned out they couldn't tell the difference between CD and supposedly higher quality digital, rendering Neil Young's massively high-quality lossless "pono-player" pointless.

Shuffle?
Yeah when I was younger my brother and I would lay in our beds on a Sunday morning (if we weren't suffering from the night before} and play records and if I needed a shuffle of the tracks I'd throw a shoe at him and he would shuffle out of bed and change the track. It worked seamlessly.
Right shit I was when I was younger........anyone got a fucking problem with that?

Yeah. Throw your records on the floor, close your eyes and pick one. Repeat.

Does this new vinyl technology have a 'shuffle' option?

Photo wise you would have to compare emulsion with the digitally reproduced photo to have a comparable discussion. Oh, and the outcome would be the same. Good enough but not exact because of the coding/decoding.
I have already explained myself more than once, you are arguing where there is no argument.

Its not close. Its absolute. No one can hear better than CD quality. It is the extent of the human ear.
No blind test would produce any result from any human that would challenge that.

Is an analogue photo the same as a real life person standing front of you?
No of course its not and so an analogue recording is just a copy with adjustments of waves in the audio spectrum that we can hear.

What a complete load of crap.
If you digitise audio you need 16 bits at 44.1 kHz to get 20hz to 22khz audio spectrum. That's far more than human would comprehend. You can in theory use more data but no one would ever really hear the difference
A case in point is Neil Young's pono player, they thought all they had to do was crank up the file quality and the player's ability to play it, blind tests showed that it made no difference to the human ear because cd quality is close a person's ability to tell theme apart.

I will stil carrying on buying reggae 45s as I have for the last twenty years. My favourite thing in the world is discovering a new record shop in a new country and having a jam and chatting music with the locals. Long may it continue

Fuck me Branded, I know that! Your getting into all kind of variables that have nothing to do with my post. It was a simple explanation of analog v digital.
On a technical point EVERYTHING is not a facsimile. There is a not so subtle difference between analog tape where there is no encoding/decoding going on and digital tape where everything is encoded and our playback machine decodes to enable us to hear. That is my definition of the word facsimile in the digital world, as in FAX machine.

Oh. And one final point. People often talk about analogue sounding warmer. That's because you always had to suppress the high frequencies due to the continual presence of HISS. The warmth was a by product of avoiding hiss. The fact that is sounds great was something producers and engineers forgot for a while.

Re: Vinyl
Well. What I'm saying is EVERYTHING is a facsimile. There is no perfect transition of live audio to some speakers but digital will be by far the most accurate transition of the original sound. All analogue processes change the sound. There is nothing in digital recording that your ears would recognise as digital.
The ultimate thing you listen to is so much more defined by the equipment in the room you are listening to.
