  • Does digital recording do a better job of capturing bass than analog?

    From the Youtube Comments section of "Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin - Scheherazade, Polovtsian Dances (reference recording: Sir Thomas Beecham)":

    - But they could never transfer the bass frequencies onto vinyl because the vibration of the 'needle' in the groove wrecked the tracking. So we NEVER heard these tapes properly until the era of digital. Don't listen to the nonsense from vinyl fans. They
    were just fishing for the music with a hook on a rod.
