Vinyl versus CD

BTW did you know that a turntable is able to replay frequencies up to 25 kHz and a good amp is able to amplify frequencies that high ? Most often that is the reason why vinyl 'feels' better than CD's as even though you cannot hear these frequencies you can feel them...

The sample rate of modern CD players allows them to play frequencies well outside human hearing...so the argument would hold true that cd sound can be "felt" too. Earlier models may not have sounded as good but if you listen to somebody like Eric Clapton playing Layla on a DDD recording you are going to hear clarity probably impossible with a stylus,
The same arguments are heard for valve vs transistor amplifiers,
Flat sound or filtered.....each to their own...what sounds good for one does not necessarily hold good for another. What location is good for one system is not good for another.....even the characteristics of the human ear vary from person to person so it really boils down to a matter of personal taste and most people will not be able to hear the difference between a £200 and a £1000 turntable.
