Yes, I belive. Truly.

And then one small carpet, just to ensure that the acoustics are completely handled :cool:.

Eeeeh, okay. I don't mean this as an insult or anything, but how is this other video relevant to what I wrote?

Has anyone else listened to the two recordings? Could you hear a difference? If so, what differences did you hear? Unless we remove certain sections, an ABX test would be impossible, since there are some giveaways, but I'm wondering if even Fremer himself could pass an ABX test between the two...

It's a bit difficult to judge from your pictures if "the first 20 seconds" include the run-in groove. It's easy to hear that one of the two recordings has a lot more noise and low frequencies in the run-in groove, which would probably explain the large difference in RMS, including some of the...

It's certainly true that there are many non-audible attractions to vinyl, whether it's imagined "fun", as Pinger and Purité suggests, or it's very real physical attributes, such as looking at the big covers and the record spinning, as well as the visual beauty of tonearms, cartridges, plinths...

I would say that the one making assumptions is you.

What is the MAAAAAAAAJOR assumption I'm making?

Whatever :rolleyes:. I asked a simple yes or no question, which can of course also be elaborated upon, and you haven't even attempted to answer it. I'm not a vinyl lover, in case you think so.

It seems to me like you're making a lot of assumptions about what my opinion/position is. I asked a simple question. That was all.

I will print and read the paper you linked to, as it seems very interesting, but I won't be able to do it for a while (and it's also 26 pages). I did a search (for "phase", "delay", and "timing") and couldn't find what I was asking about - specifically if a bit of delay in one channel, causing a...

I have a Focusrite 2i2, but no resistors. In any case, I only have one amp now - the Nord I sent back; the Naim I sold.

Do you, or anyone else here, by any chance know if this delay could be part of the explanation of the appeal of vinyl? Often it's been claimed that vinyl has a deeper and wider soundstage, etc. I've usually put it down to frequency response (or EQ), which actually can affect the soundstage...

I won't be able to record the electrical signals at the speaker terminals, as I'm simply not set up for that.

Thanks for the explanation, and thanks to anyone else who has responded and helped explain. I asked because I wanted to understand why the waveforms looked like that rather than figure out if the test is relevant or not. Before posting I had also been wondering if the explanation was due to the...
