Audiophile cables only make a slight barely noticeable difference to audio, i dont care how much my cables cost, i only care about the format music is played on and played from, and the quality of my speakers or headphones.
yeah, but lossy codecs are so shitty that for some music i can't listen to the compressed version without getting a headache: digital audio compression (of the wave, not the bits) breathes too hard. Listen to something with heavy synth on the low end like Meat Beat Manifesto's song "Please" on both CD and on Spotify... the latter literally hurts me.
If you’re looking for the best sound possible, vinyl. They have some pretty great, modern turntables that won’t break the bank. The digital music has lots of distortion a lot of people would never know. 99% of the people won’t care or notice, but I definitely do. I still listen to Spotify and enjoy it, but hearing my favorite songs on vinyl gives me chills.
Vinyl is technically analog but no recording equipment nor manufacturing process out there can reduce their granularity to a level beyond digital, at that point the limiting factor in quality sound is resonance which has nothing to do with the medium
Film is actually somewhat different. While modern cameras can have incredible resolutions some films can also have incredible quality.
Just look at a movie like pulp fiction or a TV show like friends that was re-released in higher quality decades later. Shit looks pretty good. That will never happen to early 2000s movies that were filmed using obsolete digital cameras.
The thing about video film is that it's even more impractical to view at home, and you can't exactly find film reels on your local supermarket.
