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.

@chakster , I make a distinction between real deejays, by using the term “deejay” and rap-“dj”s that are often referred to as “djs”. The real deejays are people who play music from media at radio stations and live events without scratching and mixing. They play music, not rap/hip-hop. They aren’t really interested in sound quality as much as getting the music out to the listeners, so in that they are similar. Part of the sub-culture of rap-“dj”s is about modifying the original sound, and while they use SL-1200mk2 turntables most often, they aren’t being used to transcribe anything but time code discs to drive serato-based systems to play out highly compressed semi-original content. It’s as far apart from music as you can get. And in the process, these ham-handed orangutans destroy millions of SL-1200mk2 turntables every year.
Dear analog and digital lovers: For we can truly enjoy the MUSIC in any home audio system that room/audio system needs to be a FULL range audio room/ system.

That means not only that can goes not only down to 20hz and over 20khz but that in the case of the low bass range any passive speaker designs ( even if by design it shows full range specs: down to 20hz and over 30khz. ) must be mated in true stereo fashion with at least two self powered subwoofers where the main speakers will handled the frequencies from around 80hz and up and the subs 80hz and down .

Any home system with passive stereo speakers can't honor MUSIC ( with any source alternative. ) with out a dedicated designed amplifier that meets exactly the woofer(s) needs for what was designed and the MUSIC needs to puts IMD and THD at minimum. 
Subwoofers more that anything are for stereo systems and as a side " line " need it for home theather. Not the other way around.

@sleepwalker65, I can imagine you already know all those and you already have, don't you?
