Why Does Good Vinyl Have The Magic?

It's about the system, and everything therein matters. You may have heard this before. When it comes to records, excellent vinyl playback hinges on the interactive choices made when assembling not only the record player system but also the library.Beyond that, the physical constraints of the vinyl itself requires music on the black discs to be mastered differently than for digital, and released with more natural dynamic range.Further, the type of music that lends itself to vinyl lovers' libraries can offer more audiophile moments than many other genres and styles found in digital, where an expectation that a listener might be hearing music while mowing the lawn is a complete possibility.The systems surrounding vinyl and digital playback couldn't be more different, and that's why, in practice, they sound so different from each other.Many audiophiles these days are deciding that either the cost is too high for entry to vinyl playback that can make your hair stand up, or they'd just rather not fuss with all that hassle.In this week's episode fo The Hifi Podcast, Darren and Duncan grapple with that topic, address a  listener question about integrated amplifiers, and deliver yet another lights-out album of the week.  This podcast is powered by CommonGround Cables Whisper power cable.
