CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

No comparison, CD always sounds so cold and gritty. Vinyl is so much warmer, smoother and has better imaging and much greater depth of sound. It’s like watching the world go by through a dirty window pane when listening to a CD. Put the same LP on the turntable and Voila! Everything takes on more vibrancy, fullness and texture.

I’m a diehard vinyl fan, with thousands of records. 
I never really put much effort into CDs. Did appreciate the convenience of them, but didn’t really love the sterilizing.

However, when I hooked up my Oppo to my tube system (mac 275, mac 2200, Harbeth SHL5s) suddenly my CDs sounded pretty goddamned good. Something about the tubes that take the edge of the CDs, in my experience.

And SACDs are pretty mind blowing.

Suncore, you need to start your own thread. There is never enough "this was crushed by that" threads. Look forward to your post.

Let's hope that in the end we're all crushed by the music......
