Are high sample rates making your music sound worse?

I have some great 16/44 recordings on vinyl so i dont think high sampling rates are needed. I cant get those same recordings to sound good on CD unfortunately. 

To paraphase, 'its the source material stoopid'. Even supposedly top mastering studios like Bernie Grundman still churn out crap sounding CD's, its a disgrace really.

Interesting findings, my reference is also vinyl. Is there much difference in sq between the mp3 and wav? Thanks

This thread is about high sampling rates as a means to improve AtoD/DtoA because CD sounded crap. Now you can blame the medium, the mastering, the sampling rate or the playback system but not room acoustics. 

Ya CD 'perfect sound for ever' , lol
