Vinyl versus CD

I think you're missing the point of Pic's first post here....

In a nutshell:

Yes, Cd's are great, technologically wonderful, easy to use, difficult to destroy and cheaper to make. That's why CD's are in and Vinyls are out.

But

To the naked ear, Vinyl sounds better. Full stop.

Correct me if I am wrong here, Pic, but the discussion is not about which is cheaper, easier, longer lasting, more difficult to scratch, or makes a better frisbee, but simply which sounds better.

The answer is Vinyl.

No I am not missing the point....the fact remains that pic is talking about listening to virgin vinyl on equipment that would feed the average family for 3 months. Pitch his vinyl against £7000 worth of digital system and maybe we can start comparing. What you are saying is that vinyl is better...only to your ears but vinyl and analogue cause you to lose many of the sounds that are being reproduced with digital sound. I could argue that valve sound is better than transistor and there are still those that would argue the point....but on a scientific basis and that is what pic was expecting from me, digital sound is technically better...
