B. The trouble with quantization actually starts a good deal below the half-schooled mans “sacred” Nyquist frequency.
And then we haven’t started discussing how ADC and DACs are far from the perfected science that most people in the business would like you to believe.
Don't boost the bass too much or that needle is gonna pop out of the groove.
With its real cannon shots. That's the CD I used as an acid test after replacing foam surrounds on my Allison CD9 woofers. Sounded great....Telarc's "1812 overture" recording...

Why degrade the original digital recording by forcing vinyl to deal with it? Just listen to digital directly.

Any other source of Telarc's 1812 recording is bootleg.Telarc isn't the only source of this piece...
I predict your next claim will be that they also negate all the digital horribleness in Telarc's master recording....true high end vinyl playback systems track such recordings effortlessly!
I actually have a copy of that. None of the turntable/tonearm/cartridge combinations I've played it on have ever failed to track the canon shots.You haven't heard Telarc's "1812 overture" recording, then.

Until recently, there used to be a semi-annual music festival at Powell River, BC - a smallish coastal community in the Sunshine Coast area of British Columbia.With its real cannon shots.

Over the years they have had a lot of success attracting some very good classical and other musicians.
It is a real community affair, with the musicians billeted with residents and a lot of very promising young musicians to go along with some very well established international stars.
I'm told that a few years ago they had a particular good group that was able to put on a performance of the 1812 overture. At thre same time, in the waters nearby, there was a joint US and Canadian naval exercise, which included some US and Canadian destroyers.
One of the featured musicians had a good relationship with the US ambassador, and together with a lot of US and Canadian cooperation they were able to get the warships to fire their guns at just the right time in the overture - to the absolute surprise of almost everyone.
Now that is analog sound!
Cleveland Orchestra used real canon back when I was growing up. (...) I went back a few years ago and the stopped using the canon. I am still disappointed.
Just think how upset flavio81 would have been if they switched to Olympus! The horror!They switched to Nikon? Sony?

I would. I've heard a variety of DACs in many CD players. None of them imposed pops, ticks or swooshes....I wouldn't be surprised at all if many DACs fail to give a better sound than the Telarc record (LP) on a comparison.

Missing the forest thru the trees as usual!

Getting back to photography for a moment, there seems to be a serious revival in India, of all places. Used film cameras are in demand, more film is available, and photo labs are spring up in many locations.

Missing the orders of magnitude greater horribleness of pops, ticks and swooshes compared to quantization and/or DAC topology differences, as usual.
Assuming you know to whom you're replying is unwise.
IMO at 44.1kHz we don't hear quantization
You can see the cannons on the grooves of the vinyl. I blew fuses, woofers. Never have heard that album on equipment that could handle it. It's crazy amazing.You haven't heard Telarc's "1812 overture" recording, then.
The only people who fail to hear it are those who are not sensitive to it!
