[Vintage-Audio] Digital? He he he he he he....

Tue Aug 20 13:55:00 2002

Robert, 	

On what do you base this? What is your background in this area, what experience
have you had using a high end DAT unit and what do you believe is an adequate
alternative? This is a Sony DTC ZA5 ES and it does a spectacular job as far as I
am able to determine. 	

I have compared the work with Revox B77 with outboard Dolby and Tandberg 10X,
both fed with top of the line Macintosh amplifiers, control panels and using
Bozak B-310 speakers. Now if I can't hear a difference with that system, I don't
think I am going to hear one Robert.	

Please give me some hard facts, supported by reviews by professionals, and let
me know what the problem with the high end DAT machine truly is. I would like to
know how I was ripped off by Sony, as I have a lot of money sitting here
invested in what you claim in essentially junk.

Studios, like the rest of the world, were lied to.  They were
told it was
perfect audio perfect forever with no change when copied
generation
to generation.  Studios are going back to analog.  True it is
not for
the complete chain, but they recognize the digital
shortcomings.
