You couldn't be more wrong.Then again HD motorcyles are among the poorest in the world....mostly just annoying vs performance. Without their special protection a while back they'd probably just be gone....

LOL doubt it, HD is pretty much on the backside of moto world. Why would you want one?You couldn't be more wrong.
What part of my statement do they disagree with.
^^^ Looks like I was right on point.
Honda Goldenwing?You couldn't be more wrong.
I have not suffered from IGD on a Linatrack with high compliance low ETM cartridge....Question remains.
I used to ride motorcycles and once pulled up with my "chick" on the back where some Harleys had pulled over.Honda Goldenwing?
Your assessment of Harleys. From what they've said, Harleys are generally derided by other "serious" bike riders.
Too bad you weren't on an Aprilia as H-D owners don't know where it is from or how to pronounce it.I used to ride motorcycles and once pulled up with my "chick" on the back where some Harleys had pulled over.
A rider called over to us:
"Hey, know why they make Japanese 'bikes?"
I said essentially "Nope."
Heard in reply:
"So assholes like you have something to ride around on!"
So your imprecise word usage causes confusion in the reader ... and it's the reader's fault. Got it.You are the confused one, I'm afraid. It was clear enough that I was talking about "everyone" who is debating whether vinyl sounds better or worse than digital audio ...
AVR sales are driven by the health of the HT market. Not the (tiny) mch music market, which is why I specifically used the word music - I even bolded it. In this case, despite precise word usage by the writer, confusion is caused in the reader ... and this time it's the writer's fault. Got it.If any of the above anti-MCH rant was true -- which it isn't -- a key indicator would be the plummeting sales of AVRs. Instead, it is projected to grow 30% globally by 2028. Whoops.

I tried just that! I haven´t noticed any difference, to be honest. That could be that I´m not able to distingish or that my gear is not resolving enough. I played the track at 95 db in stereo in two different systems and honestly, I found no difference.I don't think dithering applies to LP's .
An experiment you might try is taking a good quality "hi-res" 192 file know to not be up sampled and then using any number of free software tools convert to 44.1 with and without dither and ABX them (foobar2000 ABX is a free tool) and see if you can hear any differences. The difference would be noise.
I haven't either with slippers and a bathrobe.I have not suffered from IGD on a Linatrack with high compliance low ETM cartridge....
Archaic, stone age pivoted arms on the other hand.... - with an appropriate cartridge/stylus, and careful alignment....
None of that has any effect on IGD, it only improves tracking error problems which get compounded with IGD to make things even worse.I have not suffered from IGD on a Linatrack with high compliance low ETM cartridge....
As someone - me - that actually knows a bit about motorcycling, some of the statements about Harleys are "biased and not up to date". I have never owned a Harley, primarily because I like the upright seating position. Most Harleys use the "cruiser" seating position and have limited ground clearance. Harleys do not have loud pipes from the factory - that is something done aftermarket. Current Harley engines are up to date designs with computerized assist similar to what BMW has been doing for years. Below is a Harley I would absolutely consider if I decide to go for another adventure bike. Pan America!Inside every rice burner rider is a Harley guy dying to get out.
The new Sportsters with the water cooled engine looks very exciting indeed.Current Harley engines are up to date designs with computerized assist similar to what BMW has been doing for years. Below is a Harley I would absolutely consider if I decide to go for another adventure bike. Pan America!

I may have to get a demo ride on one.
I have quite a number of LP's that acknowledge they are from digital recordings. I have assumed but have not confirmed those recordings were higher resolution than CD's. MFSL obviously should not have misrepresented their product. I have a number of Sheffield recordings that are direct to master disc. I like these because of bypassing the tape completely and the artist has to perform live for an entire album side before taking a break. Essentially a live studio performance.If this has already been cited i apologize as i would have missed it. That said it was only published 10 or so hours ago.
Seems MoFi {Mobile Fidelity) has been lying about pressing vinyl direct from tape masters.
How a Phoenix record store owner set the audiophile world on fire
The article's conclusion is worth noting:
"And Randy Braun, a music lover, Hoffman message board member and lawyer in New York, hopes that, in the end, the MoFi revelation will prove what he’s been saying for years, that the anti-digital crowd has been lying to itself: “These people who claim they have golden ears and can hear the difference between analog and digital, well, it turns out you couldn’t.”
On the motorcycle thread drift, it may be worth noting that today marks the beginning of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Thunder in the hills ... HDs abound.
Air cooled Harleys are not what is currently available. The new engines are water cooled high tech engines. What you are repeating no longer is accurate. Harley had to change to meet emissions standards and attract younger motorcyclists.Ok, it's to my deep shame that I engage in perpetuating any audio forum devolving-in-to-motorcycle talk, but....this once:
As I indicated earlier, a good friend is a fellow audiophile pal/writer and senior editor at a motorcycle magazine. I mentioned this conversation comparing Harleys with vinyl.
His response to a Harley rider:
"Have you ever, by chance, compared the technical specs between a Honda Goldwing and a Harley Ultra? In every category the Honda is far superior. Acceleration, braking, fuel economy, power to weight ratio... and technically it's not even close. An air-cooled twin vs a liquid-cooled six? Aluminum frame vs steel tubes?
But that said, I can see why you would prefer the Harley. It's got that old-time, rounded, richness to it, a feeling of bygone days. It's a sensory treat that, while not the most efficient way of doing things, has its own tactile pleasure.
Comparing the Ultra to the Goldwing is like... comparing vinyl to digital, wouldn't you say?"
