I honestly pass on listening to a lot of older albums frequently or at all because of this, it bothers me too much.

I think low quality sound has a charm in itself, like the horrible mix on live.love.asap. It wouldn't be the same without clipping everywhere.

I've never seen the charm behind LQ stuff personally, it just usually gets on my nerves and I turn it.

There's a limit to it though, like the hats on this completely ruined an otherwise great track

not familiar with future, but wasnt that released in google play under 320?

was it a lossy master?

Ya I'm 90% sure it was a lossy master. I just checked google play, and for some reason it won't let me preview the tape or see any specs other than file format. Wtf google how u gnna expect me to pay for something I don't even know the quality of

@DetroitSkills Do you have a link to a read that goes in depth on the differences between analog and digital sound? I mean more than just "digital is based off sample points, has hard clipping, etc".

dont worry about it

I actually ended up reading this last night. I think it's pretty objective and represents different opinions. It also completely changed how I look at vinyl now.

I said I was gonna get back to the audio on my turntable but never really did

I don't know how to describe it other than flawless (with all the beautiful flaws vinyl should have)

i got a dl of Snoop's discog in flac from a kickass webpage, and it has three different copies of Doggystyle.

One original master from 1993, CD rip.
One remaster from 2001, CD rip.
The same 2001 remaster, but in 24bit 96khz Vinyl rip.

I imported them all to itunes and did some listening to find out which one I like more

I was really disappointed at the vinyl rip, because it had flutter as well as treble distortion. This might have been because of a s-----y preamp, busted stylus or even a wrong codec (any frequencies we can't hear still interfere w the samples and may cause distortion unless you have a really good codec). My 36 chambers vinyl rip was wayy better.

Then I listened to the CD rip of the same remaster. It was crystal clear, and every single element cut through the mix while still managing to melt together into a consistent soundscape.

Finally, I listened to the original master. It's definitely my favorite. It doesn't have the clarity of the 2001 remaster, but it has warmer, more organic sound thats more pleasing to the ears. Everything melts together a little better and the treble doesn't sound as sharp.

it was an interesting experiment, i'll be on the lookout for similar cases

Was going to buy a red and black pair of audio technica m50x last Friday from amazon but didn't. I waited to claim my amazon gift cards from work for $120 on Monday and now they're gone
