I agree with you, Texasgator. CDs are vastly superior in sound than vinyls.


To me CDs are marginally superior in sound to vinyl. The main difference being the stereo separation which you won’t notice in casual listening. Or if you’re into orchestral music then CD’s extra dynamic range might matter but not for most music.

But vinyl is so much more fun than CDs. Just the big 12” x 12” covers and all that.

MP3 and streaming digital is compressed but the modern compression algorithms are so good that you barely notice them.

I’d probably be more interested in modern digital if there were more modern music worth listening to.

It has greatly improved but even at Pandora’s best resolution, I can’t play it for more than a short time for dedicated listening. OK for background but If I want to enjoy some listening, I go to my digital library.

I like the jacket photos displayed on my 75” TV.
