“For high fidelity sound quality, vinyl has always been superior to CD”

LOL! The first design criteria for CDs was to EXCEED the quality of LPs.

You have zero clue of what you speak. This is just totally and completely untrue.

The earliest CDs were pressed from 3rd and 4th generation copies of copies of master tapes with ZERO regard given to fidelity. They were designed to be portable and scratch resistant. It was only later when people complained how crappy they sounded that the record companies figured out how to gouge the consumers once again by released "remastered" versions of the CDs we already bought.
