Logic would dictate no difference between what you hear and its playback after recorded, but as a rule of thumb, the needle drop sounds better.
Maybe it's how the signal flow since I'm monitoring what GOES into the card, not "software monitoring"; but even so, I am listening to both through the same system , a MOTU 828 mk II connected optically to the receiver.
I'm not implying that the recording adds anything extra, but that it has a more powerful scan and resolution, so it's more detailed.
I always like to use the photo metaphor. You see a beautiful landscape and take a photo of it, let's say, a slide, not digital- just for kicks. Now , the Photo will , most of the time , appear much prettier than your memory of the sight itself (to be fair, no other factors should be considered, smells, state of mind , etc.)
Any thoughts or am I just hallucinating daisies (again)?
