[Jukebox-list] Audio question

[Frank Bas]

I'm not an audiophile. If it produces music I'm prepared to listen to a 
2 dollar transistor radio. However, since the discusion is going this 
way I want to ask you guys, what makes you think you could ever get 
true hifi from a jukebox? The turntables are built like tanks, the 
record is floating in thin air picking up all kinds of vibrations, the 
whole box is resonating, and the amps have dozens of loosely wired 
coils in them! No wonder you love the harmonics you get from a jukebox. 
It's full of harmonics! Playing an iPod on it won't get rid of the 
harmonics. It just sounds good. And the information lost with 
digitalisation will be lost anyway because of the hissing and popping 
of the vinyl.

>> Hi All,
>>  The discussion of the Ipod has prompted some questions in my mind--
>>  I have been told that a GOOD vinyl pressing (along with a good 
>> reproduction system) is able to re-produce many more "harmonics" then 
>> any "digital" method, as digital just "samples", and vinyl "has it 
>> all in there". Any opinions here??
>>  Along those lines, many moons ago, when I was doing some work for 
>> the local RoweAMi distrib here, Rowe came out with what they called 
>> "True Dimensional Sound" (TDS) ( I have heard this device called a 
>> "ringer" also). This unit was added in between the (DAC) output of 
>> the CD mechanism, and the input (one stage past the input of the old 
>> magnetic cart.) of the amp (same place the DAC originally 
>> entered)--Nothing else was changed. They added this unit to the 
>> jukebox for a number of years, then it "disappeared".
>>  When the factory rep demo'd it, I could detect a difference--however 
>> it did not "sound better", just different. Of course, my ears were 
>> bad then--and have become worse.
>>  Is there any subjective method to determine what is really best in 
>> music reproduction? --or is it a matter of "hype", and what you have 
>> been led to believe, by sales persons interested only in selling one 
>> product over another???
