No. The A-D and D-A converters, and the bit-depths achievable in those
days was a limiting factor.


Your feelings?

Vinyl v. CD has little to do with sound quality. More 'nostalgia. Record
vinyl critcally to CD, and the CD playback will sound pretty much
identical to the vinyl.

I'm a firm believer that sound quality doesn't sell music.
I've heard enough foul (audio) sounding songs that made US Top 10.

Sound quality, or for that matter musical quality, has little to do with
the US Top Ten.
