News to me. I have heard a lot of complaints about recording and
mastering of new material since the introduction of CDs to audio. I
certainly have done my fair share of complaining. I try not to wail
about it though.



TAS and Stereophile have never abandoned the idea that vinyl sounds better
than CD because, well....just BECAUSE.

A variation on the phrase "... though it didn't quite have the [audiophile flooby jargon] of the [LP|turntable]"
is so common in the audiophile press as to now constitute self-parody.
