DEBATE: Analog vs Digital - Class D vs Old School Amps

[sqcomp]

^because that's about all your "argument" is worth. You can't even overcome road noise in your vehicle (by your own admission). How can you even start critically analyzing sound you aren't able to recreate? If you want to talk home audio, go to a section that deals with that subject. This isn't the place. We are talking about 12 Volt electronics.

You won't step up and throw a record player in your car (after all you MUST keep it ALL analog right?), run tube amps and compete in sanctioned SQ competition. So where do you have any experience to start from? You don't.

You're a keyboard commando until you step up and compete. Why? Because you don't seem to have much of a perspective.

How about this...there's 10 months before the next Spring Break Nationals and International North American Autosound Championship. Spend some coin and come down to listen to a multitude of different vehicles with many different sound setups. This way you'll have perspective enough to truly give an educated opinion.

Please come with some real practical car audio experience before you start pontificating on an unwavering stale point of view that is made solely for a home audio arena. Oh, one addition...I love your spin on vinyl sales. You make it seem like people are rejecting digital media en mass. That insinuation is false. What were worldwide sales of new vinyl albums last year? I've read something near 300,000 units. Take a look at the the top 10 digital downloads from 2010. We're talking multi millions...

Now, if you'd like, start another thread about the vinyl and digital formats. This is where your subject of analog vs digital source material belongs. I'd love to debate about it...as a fan of both formats. One more note, I'm deep in a family project to transfer my great uncle's recordings from the late 40's through to the 80's. He played with Doc Severenson in the big bands during the 40's and 50's. I'm cataloging and transferring his recordings from vinyl and reel to reel over to a digital hard drive for storage and preservation. It's a great experience to be able to dive right into analog to digital conversion and musical history.

So your only argument is to try and kill the messenger and use childish, irelavent coments while ignoing things I already said...even attributing things to me that I never said.

......You won't step up and throw a record player in your car (after all you MUST keep it ALL analog right?), run tube amps and compete in sanctioned SQ competition. So where do you have any experience to start from? You don't......

What does converting Doc Severnson have to do with anilog vs digital? We are dicussing potentials, not individual program sources.
Is this your only experience with anilog......recordings from the '40s when anilog was not even close to reaching its ultimate potential? For one thing, they were all recorded with valve amps which added their own unique distortion.

I suggest that you re read my originl post where I simply stated that good anilog is better than bad digital any day. You can arguge with that???

BTW, if you can not hear any road/engine noise in your (any) vehicle, you must be hearing impaired.
