I've got 3 Stockfish albums...DSD FLAC files and although I don't have the LPs with which to compare, they do sound amazing..IMHO

The Stockfisch mastering is great but artificial.

I don't do vinyl, but some of the best sounding recordings I have are vinyl rips to high rez PCM... of course a few are really bad too, but the good ones you can't even tell it's vinyl, it just sounds "right"... a couple of Pink Floyd and Yes albums I have rips of are just great.

Is it capable of reproducing genuine "Symphonic coloration"?

The way I see it is if they get vinyl too precise, they might as well just go with digital. Defeats the whole purpose of vinyl.

Lol, maybe? I guess it comes down to how much cream do you like in your coffee? I bet they do sound amazing though, a good vinyl rip to high rez can be awesome.

Happy New Year to You All!!

You will incur the wrath of analogue die hard with such statements so early in the Year .. Even if it is true... Digital can be that transparent

During my morning coffee rituals (black, no cream) over the holidays, I often returned to this thread just to watch that video again, and again ... and after repeated viewings ... it still manages to impress, bewilder, and somewhat amuse me, all at the same time. A few notes: the quality of any decent vinyl rip isn't even remotely dependent on any "hi-rez" format, and strictly from an analog playback pov, setting anti-skate in that "conventional" manor is at best inconsistent, and at worse, wrong, this method usually results in too much force, even during highly modulated passages.

But all that said, I'm curious to hear the results.

Whenever I type in euphonic on the mobile, it autocorrects to symphonic
