- The Direct Disk compared to the CD show exactly why the high-end
- community was using direct-to-disk for their audio. The problems you
- hear on the CD are all the problems I have always associated with
- analogue tape. Hiss nothwithstanding, the 2 biggest problems with
- tape are the lack of transient response and the lack of low end
- frequency response. Direct-to-disk is still one of the finest
- recording methods known. (Note that I did say RECORDING method in
- the previous sentence - replication and distribution take their toll in
- that arena).
-
- It would probably be interesting and revealing if someone did a DD, CD
- and then a CD and an LP from a state of the art tape as we know it today
- - eg 30 ips, 2-track, 1/2" with Dolby SR from the same session
- and then did a serious comparison of the results.
