We have another thread on «Turntables - help me understand the appeal»:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...urntables-help-me-understand-the-appeal.6430/
Unsurprisingly ASR members have little good to say about the technical aspect of vinyl playback.
Then it strikes me: Why not ask the same question on passive speakers and external DACs, preamps and amps?
The Audio Critic and the Aczels foresaw what was coming in the mid 1990s when they posted the cartoon below. And @amirm ’s royal measurements have shown us that size and cost are not the best factors explaining audio transparency.
A rational audiophile would have digested Aczel’s cartoon ages ago. Still, many people on ASR sport passive speakers and external separates.
Aren’t turntables and passive speakers plus external separates really the same thing? A habit that is hard to turn despite scientific input?
