I am now listening and comparing both tapes and CD sound quality now for over 5 months now and I am increasingly finding the SQ of tapes way better tha CD recordings. Again I have compared audiophile recordings from Dali, Focal and B&W to arrive at this conclusion at least for me. The tapes are just standard or premium recorded tapes but from analogue sources.
CD player- Marantz- cd5400 modified with audiophile grade opamp.
Tape deck- Nakamichi BX-100E, tape head azimuth readjusted with Lissajous pattern using dual channel oscilloscope.
I am not sure if my "beliefs" are playing ant trick but every time the tapes sound good or even better.
I hv read about digital jitter and tape wow and flutter and in my opinion jitter ruins the sq more than wow and flutter.
Will like other FMs opinions who have and not have similar experiences'
