saturn Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Why do tubes sound better than digital? This could be part of what we're hearing when we come up with these funny adjectives (warm, smooth, natural, organic, vs. brittle, cold, sterile, harsh). It is an unalterable matter of physics that no matter how fine the resolution of a digital representation gets, it is still a jagged edge rather than a smooth curve. It is not able to contain the same richness of information as the analog signal is with its smooth continuous curve. Look at the drawings of the sound waves. This is also why some people still prefer vinyl records. Even though you have to put up with hissing and popping, you get one continous sound as the needle goes over the record.
