...I used to be anti-matter, but I was cancelled.
As the saying goes, “there are two sides to every coin.”
Reminds of an explanation of dark matter > "it's not dark and it doesn't matter".
From the same source also came the implicit confirmation - by a NASA (Artemis) employee, that 'we' have never actually been to the moon...I used to be anti-matter, but I was cancelled.

Dynamic Comparison of LPs vs CDs - Part 4
Yes, you have heard all the arguments before, and you are probably sick and tired of it. LP vs digital is a "religious war" that has been played out by various audiophiles ever since the CD formatwww.audioholics.com
LP is not as far behind as you guys seem to think. According to this analysis the relative dynamics and peaks of analog are superior to digital even if the absolute dynamic range is not.

For me the main point is the noise floor of good LPs is surprisingly low and that the dynamic peaks of the LPs can be very high. I think it does demonstrate that there is a reason LP doesn't sound compromised dynamically despite the raw numbers disadvantage. It is not just nostalgia driving the LP resurgence.He compares not in a scientifically rigorous manner based on significant sample sizes, but in an anecdotal manner specific manipulated reordings (certainly more manipulated than good classical recordings) on different formats and from there comes to his conclusions.
Not sure that these conclusions are worth much.
But yes, some very good LPs can sound dynamic as hell.

Analog recordings have unlimited bandwidth.
Digital audio uses sample rate and bit depth to reconstruct the analog signal in the digital realm, creating a fixed bandwidth.
Most loudspeakers at the time covered 50 -10.000 HzA fixed bandwidth applies to the human ear and to microphones as well. Especially the microphones in the golden era you mentioned were quite bandwidth limited, with severe rolloff after 15 kHz.
You seem to be forgetting the literally millions of records produced before, say 1980, that are all analog. So, I don't agree with this assertion that 95% is based on digital recordings. Sure if someone is only buying new recordings on vinyl then you are right but that is not by any means the majority of recordings available on vinyl.I can agree with that main point!
The LP resurgence is 95+ % based on digital recordings and/or materings, which is pointless when it comes to a putative "analog" experience. I do appreciate great sounding all-analog efforts like the new Tone Poet series by Blue Note. Yet such efforts are merely a niche in the current LP resurgence.

Buy an old td 1541 dac used this nos bridge(remove philips sa digital filterchip)only the clock must wired(2 cable)to them. Sounds incredibile good
no oversampling attenuated bridge TDA1540 TDA1541
No oversampling attenuated bridge instead of Digitalfilter SAA7030 or SAA7220nanocamp.de
Then you put the old opamps out and use these at the specifications you need
Solder the socket into the mods, then you can sell it back in its original condition later if you don't like it
Yeah with my daughter…probably not so much audiophilesThe terms "LP resurgence" or "vinyl resurgence" are mostly associated with sales of new vinyl, as a quick google search will show.
