Dynamic Comparison of LPs vs CDs - Part 4 - page 4

by Chris Tham last modified September 02, 2004

The DVD-A recording looks like this (without the -4.73dB adjustment):

By comparison, the LP recording:

The spectral view of DVD-A confirms that the DVD-A is faithfully capturing the extended frequency range of the original analog master, including the analog tape bias around 29kHz :

Now, the spectral view of LP is interesting:

It appears the the LP is definitely reproducing frequencies above 20kHz , although not very well. The LP is able to reproduce the analog tape bias at 29kHz , but very faintly. This is one advantage that LP has over CDs.
