Even if the source material was marginal, you'd still have sonic
advantages with a CD. For example, the elimination of ticks and pops,
wow-and-flutter, and rumble. But I miss my anti-static gun, dirt
brush, and Yamaha direct-drive turntable nonetheless...

Gee I sure don't!
And I certainly don't miss the ticks, pops, wow, flutter, and rumble
either. Nor the cost of replacement stylii or cartridges. Or trying to
find decently made vinyl records in the first place! In fact I can't
think of one thing I miss besides the bigger cover art. But the storage
hassle more than negates that IMO.


Yet another person that hasn't listened to a recent release on vinyl and
compared it to the same release on CD then?
You'd be eating your words if you had. For some reason the sound
engineers that mix vinyl, in general, don't compress the hell out of the
dynamic range like they do CD.

Which of course has absolutely *nothing* to do with the pro's and cons of
vinyl Vs CD, only the mastering choices.
