What I really don't like are meta-discussions that distort the claimed theories and arguments. Several posters claim that other posters claim that it can be proven that digital sounds indistinguishable from analog, which is completely false (both the claim and the meta-claim). And that analog is use...

Tell me about it.

Sorry, I meant the SH.tv thread. Wasn't that obvious?

I agree 100%. What will you do to change that?

As it turns out, the original Atlantic CD was mastered by Barry Diament from the original master tape. See here.

A technical question about needle drops...is a "flat transfer" possible? Or does the transfer/equipment always color the sound and some post-mastering is required? What I am asking, is the eq on the blue box accurately reproduceable with a needle drop? I thought that was the whole point of...

Has anyone heard the Dr. Ebbetts vinyl transfer? As I understand it, he used a US LP. Here is what he writes: As far as Ebbetts is concerned, this second venture into solo-Beatles land was ABSOLUTELY necessary. This is, undoubtedly, a sensational LP that was given absolutely HORRIBLE treatment in it...

The high-precision analogue to digital converter, which samples at 2.8MHz, utilizes an ultra-low jitter clock. The input drivers are pure Class A discrete, complementary FET cascode buggers, open loop, with no feedback. This double-differential, fifth order modulator design handles idle tones in a ...
