You obviously have no clue what you're talking about....

First, you'll both have to give us your definition of "quality".

I reckon the money you'd have to pay for a top line vinyl player to get very high fidelity would be far too much to make the compact disc irrelevant.

Anyway, who cares, as long as you can play it loud!

Please educamate me....how could any vinyl reproduction be superior when you can access a digital copy of the master the vinyl was pressed from?

It's right in the article bud.. next time you may want to read it before commenting

Although CDs have a wider dynamic range, mastering houses are often encouraged to compress the audio on CDs to make it as loud as possible: It's the so-called loudness war. Since the audio on vinyl can't be compressed to such extremes, records generally offer a more nuanced sound.

Another reason for vinyl's sonic superiority is that no matter how high a sampling rate is, it can never contain all of the data present in an analog groove, Nyquist's theorem to the contrary.

"The digital world will never get there," said Chris Ashworth, owner of United Record Pressing, the country's largest record pressing plant.

Golden-eared audiophiles have long testified to vinyl's warmer, richer sound. And now demand for vinyl is on the rise. Pressing plants that were already at capacity are staying there, while others are cranking out more records than they did last year in order to keep pace with demand.

well....it is all what you play it on and the quaility of the vinyl pressing.....

i have returned to vinyl (still have my original collection 1000+ albums) .....

i have a wilson benesch turntable.....BAT tube amps and pre amp ..... and wilson benesch speakers.....i also have an aeroaudio cd player....

i have played quality CD's and remasted virgin vinyl side by side ....vinyl sounds warmer and has a broader sound stage.....cds sound bright and narrow....even some of my old albums...talking heads 77 sounds better than a brand new CD

here is where i buy all my new vinyl
