A/B Vinyl/Digital

I am sure there are those out there who have compared the same song with vinyl and digital.

Having done so last night was as suspected.

The CD version of the song was fake, plastic, 2D, flat, harsh, & non organic sounding.

The Vinyl version sounded like... well you know how it sounded.

Just don't listen to digital and expect it to sound like organic music IMHO.

Lector T3 is the CDP. I know if I spend $15000.00 + I can get closer to the sound of analog with digital.

It seems strange to me that members here on the 'Gon. only have a digital set up with high end gear. I am only a rookie here (7 yrs.) next to you 30 + audiophiles but I did learn something very valuable here by reading and learning from you analog heads.

The a/b that is the most fun is to take the same song and a/b it for someone who says "I don't have good ears like you do..." EVERY time I have done it an amazed look crossed their face and every person prefered vinyl. I have a cheap high-end TT (Rega 2) and compared it with the Rega Planet 2000, which is not only twice as expensive but it was a fine player. I used Nora Jones 2004 album which I bought on vinyl and CD.

Personally I think digital could be better than Vinyl, but SACD is still not good enough. The computer Tech that determined the limitations of redbook CD recording was early eighties "stone knives and bearskins."
