Hmmm, someone who lives with live music and thinks vinyl is much more

Hmmm, does this mean that the next time someone suggests that vinyl is
less than perfect, we won't hear in response, "Well, that's because
you've never heard a really high-end rig"?

Who ever said vinyl was perfect? The point of using a high end rig for
comparisons to CD is for the sake of hearing each medium at their best.
What does it mean to say one prefers CD over vinyl when the comparison
is made with inferior vinyl playback equipment?


It means that it's the standard copout for vinylphiles, much like the
somewhat suspicious original post implying that those who live with
live music prefer vinyl. Heads up now, what really launched CD into
the mass market was *classical* music listeners, i.e. people who live
with live music.
